Frisco 33.5-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post

My cat loves this post. He liked it from the moment I opened the box. Unfortunately, while putting it together, I leaned the sisal post against a counter while I put the base together and Duke started to scratch it and it fell over on him. He took off and avoided it for a day or so but he’s ok. Be careful-the post is heavy! I sprayed some catnip spray on the post and put a toy on top and he came around. I paid attention to other reviewers and set this between a wall and the chair he was shredding and it is quite stable that way. He is about 14 pounds and jumps to the top without a wobble. The height of this post allows him a good long stretch while scratching. Best thing- he stopped shredding My cat loves this post. He liked it from the moment I opened the box.

We bought this to go along with a smaller one since our kitten was growing up and we heard she needed one at least 3 feet tall. We put it by our window in the living room and she climbs up onto it every single day to look out, and sometimes just when she's zoomie. She still uses the small one more to stretchy/scratchy but as long as she's not perching and scratching on my brand new dining room chairs I'm happy!

My cats LOVE this scratching post and so do I. It’s one of the few out there which is tall enough for my ragdoll to stretch out on, which is partly why it’s so effective. I’ve had it for over a month now, and since it’s been here, the cats barely touch my furniture anymore. It’s also not really showing any wear yet, despite heavy use, so I think it’ll last for a long time. Easy to assemble. The cats, especially my tabby, also enjoy sitting on the top and staring at us imperiously from their “pedestal,” which is a fun added bonus! :-)

I bought this for my cats for Christmas my male cat is a vertical scratcher and loves to scratch my walls. He's also very long at full stretch he's over 2 feet so I wanted something tall and sturdy for him. My female cat just loves to scratch, she destroys cardboard scratchers and has destroyed the sisal rope on the cat tree. They both took to the scratcher instantly without catnip or anything. They also love to climb and perch on it. They watch the turtles from the top of it which makes them very happy.

I bought this scratching post because my kittens like to scratch and stretch on my arm chair. The fact that it's very tall allows them to stretch fully, which their other post doesn't. It comes in a big box with a few pieces that are easily put together (includes tool), and it is very sturdy. My kittens are very feisty and this post has held its own! I've only had it for about 2 weeks, so we'll see how it lasts, but it is doing well so far. My cats like to stretch, scratch, climb, and sit on top of this post, and they seem to love it! I would definitely recommend this post for kitties that like to stretch or to distract them from scratching furniture.

2 of our 3 cats have intermittent issues with trying to scratch furniture. We purchased this so that, between it & our existing cat tower, the cats would have enough appropriate places to manage their claws in our main living area. So far, it seems to be working! Other highlights are that the post was easy/quick to assemble & the cats really seem to like that it's tall enough for them to stretch out completely during use. Also, the platform on top is big enough for them to sit, which has led to some amusing 'King of the Hill' games :)

I’ve purchased numerous vertical cat scratchers over the years. We’ve just moved and I replaced my former two (more expensive) scratchers with two of these from Frisco and I am completely satisfied. I do believe these Frisco scratchers are not quite as well made as the others, (the seams are a little wonky), but they are just as functional and our cats have immediately accepted them. I bought the ones with the soft carpet instead of just wood and like that better as the cats like to sit on top now. I would recommend these as the price point just can’t be beat in comparing with the other brand. (Dec. 2020)

Excellent quality. Extremely sturdy. I had purchased three different scratching post, this one being one of them and hands-down this is the best one that I ordered. The cats like to sit on the top but overall they use it and they really enjoyed scratching on it. I have a few rough cats and this post stands the test. I hear the scratching all night long. This seems to be the go to out of the three post. I highly recommend this item and I’m probably going to go back and order another one.

I have bought wool cat caves, fancy toys, 5 ft tall cat trees--which mostly get ignored. This scratching post is the one thing my cats can't get enough of! They stretch; they scratch; they perch. Sometimes, they just lay on the cold tile floor with their heads resting on the soft carpet at the base. This thing seems to be indestructible. Rope and carpet scratching posts shred and look disgusting; but this Sisal post still looks like new. Gets a ten star rating from us. Easiest thing to assemble we've ever bought and it's really sturdy.

Murray is a 9 month kitten. He is EXTREMLY active, and EXTREMLY inquisitive! He flies around the house, and pounces onto his new Siscal Post at full force. Luckly the post is strong enough and balanced, to withhold the force of him flying directly at the post, hanging on with all 4 paws, and clawing his way up to the top. While serveying his next attack, the base of the post is large enough not to tip over. KatMother & Murray are satisfied customers!
