Frisco Cactus Cat Scratching Post, 33-in, Tri-post

Not only is this cactus SUPER adorable, it's also sturdy and the cats like it. lol My 4 cats are all about scratching, and we have a new kitten that's following along. Murphy likes to climb as well, so I was happy that he could easily King Kong swing and climb up the cactus. The base is nice and big so he won't tip it over too. :) So glad I bought this!

Great scratching post that also makes great home decor! I found out during WFH that my cat is a vertical scratcher, which explains the pattern of destruction on the sides of my club chair. I reconfigured her cat condo to have a tall scratching post, but it made the perch on top too unstable, so I decided to get a new cat condo and also a taller scratching post for her needs. The tallest of the three cacti is perfect for her scratching needs at full vertical stretch (she is about 16 lbs and 1.5 ft tall at full vertical stretch). She really likes the soft carpet that covers the tops of the posts as well. I have caught her on occasion using the shorter posts when scratching while sitting.

The saguaro cactus is really adorable and looks almost like eclectic home decor than cat furniture at first glance. The structure is well made, and I think will last for awhile.This saguaro was perfect for my cat, as she was born and rescued from an Arizona shelter. … more

The scratching post arrived today. While Camo played in the empty shipping box, Mama assembled the post. All components were included, instructions were plainly written/illustrated and assembly was very smooth. The post is heavy-duty, sturdy and really classy looking. Mama sprayed the post with catnip mist and laid a few treats here and there and the investigating began! Camo really likes his new scratching post!

I have two fully clawed cats - one full grown, and one kitten. Both of them love this. If they didn't get along so well, they'd probably fight over it using it. The other scratching posts are largely ignored. It's actually the fluffier green covering they love clawing at the most. That part is starting to pull away a little bit in an area, but that's almost expected with how enthusiastic they can be. The kitten also loves climbing it. I've received a lot of compliments when my friends and coworkers have seen this.

My cat is the most gorgeous calico I have ever seen. Because of this, I spoil her rotten. All of her toys are handmade felt, she has a custom felt “mushroom” house and a beautiful wooden cat wall- not your typical cheap looking toys. They’re hers, but she lives with me so wanted to keep everything looking nice. Naturally she was started to scratch up the carpets so was looking for an equally striking cat scratcher. I thought this one was cute and was whimsical like her mushroom house. It is even better in person. She was unsure of it at first so I placed her on the cactus a few times to get her used to the sensation. Now she climbs it while brushing her head on the top softer parts while simultaneously My cat is the most gorgeous calico I have ever seen. Because of this, I spoil her rotten.

She’s a fluffy spoiled poof and I love her and this cat scratcher. Can’t recommend enough. Love the size for me- but I think she’d like it if it was a tad higher to climb- might install a tall post on the cat wall corner for her to scale. … more

I'm really disappointed that my cats won't use this. They are pretty persnictity, I'd say! It's so cute and I was hoping to replace those awful, messy cardboard things. I tried hiding the cardboard for a few days. Tried placing the cardboard right beside the cactus and still nothing. They didn't even bother using the cactus at all. The dog, however, thought it was a tremendous chew toy with a ball and fluffy pink things to pull and chew on. I've got the dog pretty well trained to leave it alone now but how to train cats to use it?? Catnip didn't make any difference either. Maybe in time? Here's to hoping. I gave it 3 stars just because it was cute and clever.

This seems to be very sturdy with a heavy wide base and large bolts holding the 3 cacti in place. My kitten is not quite ready to make use of it other than the hanging ball but it should last him many years! It was easy to assemble. I did it by myself in about 15 minutes.

Our cats are very tall -- too tall for most posts and so we've had to give many of the posts we've purchased away. This one is tall enough, sturdy enough, and so cute that even if Miles and Louis didn't like it, we'd keep it around just for laughs. But they do love it and they they took to it within a couple of days instead of their typical 2-week sniff-and-walk-away period.

These are easy to assemble and look nice, as opposed to the old style ones that are just an eye sore. My cats haven't taken to them yet (I got 2), but I know they will. They just take their time with new things. I recommend these, I posted about them on social media and folks went crazy. They are really cute.

This cactus arrangement is really well done! We opened it today, and Mom put it together (great directions, 3 screws and Allen wrench included). I tried to play with all the parts as they were being assembled, but she made me wait until completion.
