MidWest Feline Nuvo Grand Forte 41-in Cat Scratching Post

We purchased this scratching post to replace one that our new kitten had literally ripped to shreds (although, to be fair, he was following in the footsteps of a couple of other kitties from over the years). We were looking for one that he could climb, since he enjoyed doing that with the older one. This is indeed sized right for that purpose, but it is also a 6-inch diameter post! Now, neither of our cats really want to use it, although they are beginning to use the bottom half, but no one really wants to use the top half and the kitten doesn't want to climb it! Maybe that will change over time, but be prepared, it is a massive piece of furniture.

I had a 33.5-inch scratcher but this 41-inch one takes the cake! I have two big boys and this product gives them ample room to really stretch their long gorgeous bodies. It's pleasant to look at and easy to assemble as well. When I first opened the box, both cats immediately started to use it. Sometimes they fight over who gets to sit on top! Definitely plan to get another one for the bedroom.

Be assured: this cat scratch tower is absolutely enormous. I have a very large male cat who doesn’t like a lot of scratchers because they are too small and he can’t stretch out. But this thing is enormous, and very thick and sturdy. Assembly is very easy, took just a couple minutes and no extra tools.

Best scratching post ever!! Tall enough for my cat to stretch up high. Very durable and sturdy. Bailey loves to charge at it full speed, leap onto it, and straddle it like a tree trunk. She enjoys it every day, so I ordered an extra one. I hope this product is always available.

I didn’t check all of the dimensions before I bought it, was just happy to find a tall post, but was VERY happy when this giant thing arrived! The base is very heavy, it’s easy to assemble, tall enough for them to stretch, scratch, AND they can run up to the top and sit. Both our cats are ten pounds and this post can handle it all.

My 3 cats use it many times a day, including my female whom I’ve had difficulty getting to use scratchers rather than the carpets. 2 of the cats are close to 15 pounds & love to climb it. Most scratchers move or tilt with this kind of use, but it is surprisingly sturdy and stays put. I intend to buy another in the near future.

It’s huge and looks like a small tree, but it is the sturdiest and most effective scratching post ever. First scratcher I’ve found that doesn’t move with them when they use it, and they can actually climb this one. Really satisfied with this purchase.

I have a 1 year old cat that loves to climb AND scratch. We got this to encourage him to scratch away from the sofa and ottomans. It has helped direct his scratching to the tower rather than furniture. He loves to climb it too. He can sit on top. We wanted to get one that would not topple over like the small ones we could find in the stores. This had not toppled over under his weight yet. Great purchase.

Our two cats love the Nuvo Grand Forte scratching post. It is super sturdy even for our 14 pound cat who comes at it with speed. We highly recommend this as it is tall and allows a cat to stretch full length.

It's a cat scratcher. What can I say. Julius our resident cat, destroyed his other scratching post. He likes to scratch furniture so a scratching post helps redirect that scratching furniture behavior. He LOVES it!
