If you want to, just to make sure what could be wrong, you could do this test that I just did. Create a sim with 7 cats in a household, and on the lot, only place a few counters and scratching things, and the cats should interact with them within a few sim hours (turn up speed).

No problem! :eahigh_file:

Yeah, They will eat human food if you leave it out there until you train them not to (if you want, you can also just let them eat the human food) 🙂

In my game, I have some cats that use the scratching post more than other cats, and some of the scraping posts seem more popular. Unsure if the cats have preferences or if it's just that they're closer. Pets like to be close to your sim and each other, so if you put a scratching post close to where your sim usually hangs out when awake and home, they might use it more often! Good luck with your game! :D
