Frisco 33.5-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post

I’m totally digging this scratch post, and so are my cats! I don’t declaw anymore so these things have become sacred objects in my home. I have a similar one that I bought last year, but I like this one so much better. My favorite thing about it is the soft & fuzzy micro plush carpet material that the base and top is covered in. It’s more comfortable and desirable for my cats to use, and my kitten is able to climb all the way up and sit on top because of it. My other one just has an engineered wood base and top. Aside from that, it is very large and heavy duty, it has a super wide base to eliminate tipping, and is very aesthetically appealing. The price was fair and Chewy offered super fast and I’m totally digging this scratch post, and so are my cats! I don’t declaw anymore so these things have become sacred objects in my home.

My outdoor cat is still suspicious of it a little bit but the only reason is because we just gave him flea treatment so he thinks that we're the enemy but I seen him sniffing around the perimeter and checking it out and I'm sure ain't no time he'll be using it to scratch what I like about it is it's sturdy easy to build and it actually looks nice in decor. I plan to buy another and use them as pillars. My outdoor cat with natural cause will absolutely have a blast with this when he comes inside for some warmth and food.

We have four fur-babies. Two of them are 18-20lbs each. They run, jump and climb this scratcher with ease and it does not fall over! I did put fresh catnip on it after assembling it to get them familiar with it. The cats just love it! They have not gone near the old scratcher (they destroyed it and still loved it lol), they have taken to the new scratcher with no issues. As for actual size, our home is 900 sq. feet and finding a spot in the living room was not an issue at all. Maybe we are just minimalists, our living room is not full of clutter and the size of this scratcher is not difficult for my 79 year old mother to move when needed. It is heavier than the tiny ones for kittens but We have four fur-babies. Two of them are 18-20lbs each. They run, jump and climb this scratcher with ease and it does not fall over!

Mom and I used the wrench that was provided and it was super easy to put together (a 4th grader could do it). Scratcher has a nice look to it, fits well in our home, the cats love it and if it holds up well, I will buy more of these! … more

These scratchers are so good I already have two and I'm probably going to get more. The surface isnt the usual sisal rope - its a sort of rough woven material holding up much better than my sisal and carpet cat trees. My cats love the full body stretch the can do while sharpening their claws, and theyre preferring this to all their other scratchers. Im using one to protect the corner of my couch and its working! One thing I found, if a large cat uses the top as a launchpad, the scratcher can tip over. I slipped it under the edge of my couch to solve that. Great price for a high quality tree thats easy to assemble and holds up to six tiny tigers.

Enough said in the headline! Our two young kitties love, love this scratching post. Quite often both of them can be seen scratching at the same time.....and they love to hop up and sit on the little shelf and look out the window at the birds that are nearby at our deck feeder! It has certainly reduced/eliminated their scratching on one chair in particular.

My 10-month old kitten has an unhealthy obsession with one of the upholstered chairs in my living room. Despite multiple APPROPRIATE scratching opportunities scattered around the house (and indeed, one right next to said chair), he has been undeterred...until the Frisco 33.5 inch scratching post arrived. Stirling is a looooong boy, and he enjoys a good vertical stretch, so this extra-tall post is perfect for him. Moreover, the sisal-wrapping seems to be his surface of choice. He has only attempted a chair attack one or two times since the post arrived more than a week ago. (It used to be an almost hourly occurrence.)

One thing I will say is that if you have an acrobatic cat (or one destined for parkour greatness, like mine), you might find that your furry one will enjoy jumping on top of it (a la King Kong) and unintentionally knock it over when practicing his dismount. This has only happened twice for us, and it's not a big deal. The more important thing is that the post is absolutely stable when he's using it as intended: for scratching. … more

WHY are there two pieces of wood instead of one for the base? This scratcher was amazing until it started wobbling. My playful kitten jumped up, climbed to the top, absolutely dug this thing. Then maybe a month in, it started wobbling back and forth. Totally unstable now. They don't climb it anymore. Do you blame them? You can tighten the screws until your wrists snap. It won't matter. It still wobbles. I'm debating trying to get my money back or drilling a third hole right in the center between the two boards (another post i have does this). Anyway, the WOBBLE is a serious problem. I wouldn't buy this again. Frisco, fix your product.

My cats absolutely love this product! I have had it for approximately 5 months, now, and they use it all the time! I would definitely & highly recommend this product! A few days ago, when one of my extremely high-energy cats, jumped up on top of it, I heard a small crack & the post became loose and started to wobble...making it unsafe for them to scratch or sit on. I attempted to retighten the bolts, on the bottom, but this did not rectify the situation. I contacted Chewy and explained my dilemma, and a full placement is being sent, within the next 2 days! THIS is one of the MANY reasons that I love Chewy! Their customer service is TOP notch & they have wonderful products, at competitive prices My cats absolutely love this product!

My kitty is stubborn hates the cardboard scratchers...so I tried this based on the reviews. And Sebastian took right to it. And while I don't have it by a window he does climb from couch to the top to sit and look around. He is a big boy being part main coon I believe. But he fits. It is his go to scratcher now. Also assembly was very easy. No tools required. Nice solid base so it doesn't tip over. Overall quality is fantastic. So happy he has a place he enjoys. No furniture scratching at all. He wasn't a big furniture scratcher being 8 mos old but now he won't learn that with his favorite tower.

I have three sisal cat scratching posts in my house from a different maker, but thought I would try this one based on the reviews, and, because it was less expensive (money talks!). I was pleasantly surprised by the durability of this post, and will be replacing my other two with this one as well. My cats do not use a scratching post in a gingerly fashion. In fact, my 8 lb'er "Zookie" comes at it like he's 20 lbs of concrete, but this post held it's ground! I won't buy anything but sisal, this post is a winner.
