Frisco 35-in Heavy Duty Sisal Cat Scratching Post with Toy

This was a good buy! I adopted 2 cats still with their nails intact and of course they pawed at the furniture first. I purchased this post and I like that it is extremely sturdy (does not tip over when a cat stretches to the very top). It is also slightly less ugly than other fully carpeted versions. Both cats now use this after I worked with them by taping the top, wiggling the ball at the top, etc. Now I move the post a little each day to a less prominent place in the living room since it is still a post and still ugly. But cats like it! I also recommend the clear tape Chewy also sells to place on furniture- that has also really helped to draw cats away and to the post instead!

It's hard to find solid sisal rope cat posts that are heavy enough to not tip over. I have a 20-pound cat and another little tank who this is great for. Admittedly, this is much bigger than I thought it would be - I should have paid attention to the dimensions. I bought one for my mom, who has a small house, and it was just too big for her rooms. The base is quite large, which is great for the heft and to accommodate the height - it's just that you need the space for it. Very sturdy and well-made and my cats started using it immediately.

I’ve had up to 8 cats at once and I’ve never had a scratch to my furniture because of good scratching posts. This is probably the highest quality and sturdiest scratching post I’ve ever found. I’m down to three elderly cats now and they love this scratching post. They took to it immediately. I like that it won’t tip, even when they climb to the top to perch. I like that they can get a full stretch when they use it because it is taller than most. I highly recommend this scratching post.

I always get a 30+inch high scratch post so my big boy cat can really stretch out. This is a very nice post, good height, sturdy and good quality, heavy sisal covering. It is very easy to put together. An Allen wrench is included ; it took <5 minutes. The base is sturdy and covered in plush carpeting. No danger of it tipping over. Because it’s round rather than rectangular it doesn’t have the width of our last 2 posts but it seems to be enough for the purpose. There is a thin band of carpet material that covers the joint where the 2 sections screw together, and I noticed that at first Hamish would only use the lower section, however in a couple of days he learned to stretch out completely and I always get a 30+inch high scratch post so my big boy cat can really stretch out.

Cats are cats! This post was easy to assemble and is sturdy. It was a last ditch effort to see if I could keep my cat from scratching my recliner. Unfortunately my little devil doesn’t seem to care for anything but my recliner. He dug on this tree a time or two and now just walks around it. I guess if he doesn’t use it in another week or two, I will donate it to a Humane Society in my area. Cats are cats and you can’t know what they will or will not like.

I have one boy who has destroyed my living room chair, he will not use the short scratchers and I have 4 of them, Now that I purchased this nice very tall one he is using it!!! Yeah.. mommy can buy a new chair now and not have him ruin it. I'm buying another one so the brat can have two. Thank you Chewy for saving my next new chair. Yes cats do like to stretch out their bodies while scratching.

I was hesitant to buy such a large scratching post for our medium-sized cat. She was new to us and was beginning to scratch on our upholstered furniture. Turned out the size was perfect. She can really stretch up. She took to it right away. (The catnip I rubbed on it may have helped.) No more problems.

Sox, my 16 lb. tall male cat will only use a scratching post with sisal -- he will not use one with carpeting, which is a good thing. This is sturdy and tall enough for him to stretch out fully, and he even likes to bat around the little ball at times, which totally surprises me. I ony hope that he doesn;t detroy the sisal too quickly. As long as it lasts several months, I'll be happy and will order a replacement!

I was unsure about this post and decided to order it anyway. I like the base of this one very much. It's the most stable of the posts I have bought and I plan to buy a few more of these. My cat loves it. I'm only getting sisal posts from now on. His claws don't get stuck like on carpeted ones and it holds up quite well. A+ Chewy!!

Love this very good looking very sturdy scratching post! I put a toy at the top and he has been using it ever since. I have many scratching posts and this is a good size-not too big, but big enough for a big cat to stretch and scratch. Also the sisal rope is nicely wound nice and tight. I will definitely purchase again!
