Frisco Cactus Cat Scratching Post

I had been eyeing this scratching post for a while as it is SO cute and a great price. I finally bought it once I realized that my cat had nowhere else to scratch as all her old posts were heavily used. It arrived quickly and was super easy to assemble, no tools or anything required, you just have to twist the parts together (they have screws and holes already, again very easy!) The color and design are so perfect and cute, I love it. Would look so great in any room; I like that it kind of doubles as decor! My cat loves it so much. I can hear her scratching on it all the time. However I would like to post a warning! This scratching post is very light and tips over easily.

I'm currently weighing it down with a textbook and that's working fine. Also she already broke the ball toy off of it, but my mom says we can fix it and also maybe that's just a my cat thing. She really liked the ball and was playing with it a lot and maybe she just overpowered it haha. Also the picture is pretty accurate, for a normal sized cat sitting back in scratching position, they are already near the top of the actual scratching bit of the post, so if you have a larger cat, multiple cats, or perhaps a more active cat or avid scratcher, maybe go for the larger size. These few "complaints" have generally quick fixes and you can't beat the price, the adorable design, and my cat's pure joy! :) … more

I MAY ORDER THIS VERY SAME SCRATCHING POST LATER ON FOR MY OTHER FUR BABIES,WHEN IT COMES TIME TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES!!

my cat is not interested into this apparatus- not only did I put catnip on it but when he DID TRY TO ENGAGE in this thing---IT TOPPELS OVER! so enough times this happened he wants nothing to do with it- so it was great photography they showed the cat on the video engaging with it but also scratching the post & it doesnt topple over- whoever gets this...before having the cat having a negative experience--SECURE IT DOWN POSSIBLY TO A LARGER BOARD-even in this pic it shows it tilting almost over- also BALL STRING NEEDS TO BE LONGER-3inches doesnt do it to attract the cat

My five month old kitty loves this scratching post! She was found on the street and has taken a while to feel comfortable here, but she is sharpening her claws on the couch legs so I needed an alternative. I bought her two cat beds she ignored and she didn't scratch on the back of the carpeting available to her. BUT she went right to this scratching post and has been using it ever since. I think the green color, the "arms" and the hanging ball all add to the attraction. Thanks so much!!

This is definitely not your typical cat tree and I absolutely love it. My cats weren't in love at first sight but once I sprayed some catnip on it, it has become their new "best friend"!! I bought the large one, kind of wish I went for the smaller one because this one is big and I think the smaller one would have worked out fine. But I definitely recommend it not only because it is so unique but because there are different textures to scratch and no cardboard that ends up needing to be swept up.

My cats absolutely LOVE this, but we've only had it for maybe 1.5 months and they have already destroyed the seam where the top screws into the scratching post (you can very easily see the wood beneath the fabric) I've bought cheaper scratching posts that have lasted a lot longer with much harder use from both of my cats. Despite this, I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who doesn't mind frequently replacing it simply because my cats really do love using it.

My grandson & wife live in Ohio & collect cacti, so living in the desert it's fairly easy to find items for them. I couldn't, however, believe when I saw a cat scratching post of a cactus! I immediately ordered 1 for their 2 cats & 1 for my big boy! He's a little too large at 20 lbs & long for a Polynesian to fully enjoy it; however, we're moving in 3 months & I''ll be going to the rescue shelter for a younger sibling who will likely be happily entertained with the size! The quality is excellent, sturdy & no tools required for assembly!

I bought this item because we have a new kitty and I wanted something for her to scratch on in the living room that was not furniture. If I wiggle it she comes running and will immediately start scratching on it but I haven't seen her go to it on her own volition. Of course this may be because we're not spending a lot of time in the living room until we get some new furniture, so she may be using it more than I know about. Meanwhile, it's kind of a novel thing to have in the house.

I bought both sizes of this scratcher, there is a big size difference between the two ( see photos ) but my cats seem to like both equally. I have 3 cats that weigh over 14 pounds and the larger size handles their weight. Good quality and so nice to look at.

My cats like this cactus, I don't think they care about the shape, but I thought it was adorable (we had moved from Texas & I thought it would be nostalgic). My cats do not seem to care for the string & ball hanging from the cactus (Perhaps they prefer play time be separate from sharpening time?), but they love the scratcher part. As a heads up to those households with large/giant breed dogs, one of mine realized the top was soft/stuffing, picked it up & walked off one day, but no damage was done. :)
