Frisco Cactus Cat Scratching Post

I am fairly new to having cats. I got one in Sept 2020, and another in July 2021. The top part of this cactus starting coming apart before we got our second cat and then came off completely a bit after he came along. He does have his own smaller scratching post that he uses most of the time. Like others have stated, the sisal is still in good shape but the top part is just sitting on top of this thing like a hat now. I think the best solution would be to use a little more fabric instead of stretching it so taut so that they can get away with using less. Not sure I would repurchase this, I did like the look when it was new and together.

My cats have loved this scratching post from the moment I set it up. I have the same complaints others have had. The top should be made of sturdier material. It is too soft and cat claws get stuck in it and the attached ball. If the top had better material, it could’ve provided a nice perch. Despite the material flaw, the cats scratch, hug, and hang out around this post often. The base is a nice size and cat approved. Overall, this is a worthy purchase.

I have 9 cats and 5 baby cats. 1 is a 3 leg young cat that I found along the road busted up and took it to the vet and kept it and even she loves it. She wraps her front legs around it and takes on the ball and using her one back leg pushes herself round and round the cactus tree. My older cats like to scratch and hug it. I have no idea what is with the hugging but they all do it and the babies so far sleep under it and they try to scratch it as well. It's good I bought 2 trees saves on any fighting for a turn.

I bought the 31" scratch post. It was simple to assemble and it's easy to move when I need to vacuum. My kitten loves to climb all over it and he very much enjoys using these scratch posts to satisfy his itch rather than furniture. My 2 year old girl got the hint after she saw him using it and rarely do I catch her scratching the chair anymore.

How do I get my kitty to scratch on this adorable post. The size is perfect and made so well at such a great price, no kidding. She still scratches on an old table leg that I put in an extra bedroom where her litter box is. My older cat scratches outside on the big palm trees and I also use a great spray on my new furniture and sofa throws.

Previously bought Frisco's gray sisal post which has been torn to shreds so thought this one would work too. Perhaps not tall enough and woolly top spurned by my boy; it hits him on the head as the whole thing falls over! Tried attaching new green tower to lower remains of old gray tower but not acceptable - any ideas?

My daughter bought one of these and her cats went so crazy for it they were lined up to take turns on it. The one cat does a kind of maneuver that makes it look like she's pole dancing. lol My cats have given it a cursory scratch, but that's all I would have expected from them. They are scratch pad snobs. lol And the price is awesome for all you get!

My cats love this cat scratcher and I loved it being I love cactus. However the top part that makes it a cactus is falling off. The glue/fabric has separated and now it doesn’t look very nice in my living room. The sisal is still in good shape so it’s staying put until that goes but I wish the plush part stayed on

The scratching post was nicely packaged but I had other items in the box. The Cat Sip is not carefully protected in the box. The Cat Sip cartons are always smashed. Just glad it was still usable. Also, I wish they would put more than one strip of tape on the box. Do enjoy ordering from them though.

This is such a fun piece to have in my living room! It seems to be well made, and my cat uses it multiple times a day, but it doesn't weigh very much at all. It's a good thing I like how it looks, because my 16-lb cat drags it all over the place. If you want a scratching post to remain mostly in the same spot, you might want to buy the larger version of this one instead.
