MidWest Feline Nuvo Grand Forte 41-in Cat Scratching Post

First of all, you’re probably not really ready for how big this scratcher is. My cat, who’s net even a big breed, shares an eye level with me when he sits on top. That’s some sort of power move. I wasn’t ready for that. Second, you’re not ready for how STURDY this tower is. Our cat is Adventurous. Nosy. And quite frankly, prone to accidental destruction due to his enthusiasm for all things jumping and climbing. His tallest cat tree has a large kettlebell on the bottom to reduce rocking. We’ve resigned ourselves to a life without a holiday tree. He’s not very graceful. But I’ve seen him go at this thing like a linebacker and take a flying leap onto it, and this thing barely budged!

He’s all over this thing all day every day, and I’m never afraid it’ll fall over. And the sisal is strong and thick! A certain cat behavioralist with a space-themed name described cats as ‘toddlers that can touch the ceiling’. This is perfect if you’ve got a cat that emulates that description, no matter their size. … more

I just wish I would have found this scratching post much, much sooner!! (before my cat's totally distroyed 3 door jams). It's large enough for my 20 lb himalayan to fully stretch out and the smaller ones climb it and perch on top! It's made very well, very sturdy, and the sisal rope is holding up well with all 13 using it! For anyone with cats tearing up your house....you need this!!!

I previously ordered the Frisco 33.5-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post from Chewy which is a good post, but this one is amazing. The base is really heavy and stable so no tipping over. My chonky 19 pound Maine Coon can climb it without knocking it over....and that's what I was looking for. LOVE IT. Wish I had found this post earlier. It's also one of the taller scratching posts that I've been able to find which is awesome.

My little springy monkey of a cat loves this. He runs and jumps right up it and holds on. He also loves perching at the top. I did go around it and hammer in the staples because I thought they stuck out too far, I didn't want them getting a claw stuck in it. It's really sturdy and my two orange goofballs love it.

Holds up to my large "fat cat" who has climbed to the top without it tipping and also great for my younger cat who thinks a scratching post is to be sat on. Heavy weight and very sturdy. This was a wonderful buy for me - replacing a scratching post that did tip over and my cats destroyed.

This is the best cat scratching post! Our 9 month old, large 9lbs. kitten went right up it the minute he saw it. We have another sisal material wrapped post that is supose to be the best but he prefers this sisal rope one. It is sturdy and tall and can handle his weight and length with no problems. It does take up alot of room,

I have this scratching post sitting next to my front door. It's a fantastic place to keep it because when I get home from work, the first thing I see when I walk through the front door is my beautiful big kitty, Lu, sitting on top, ready for a head scratch and nose boop.

My cats LOVE this tree!! Within seconds they were all over it! The two of them love to climb to the very top and perch there to overlook my bedroom. This was an AWESOME purchase and now I’m thinking I need another one for the living room lol. Very very easy to assemble (5 min max for one person) and super sturdy, doesn’t wobble at all! 10/10 satisfied and best $50 I’ve ever spent. (Pardon the low quality photo, my camera is mildly broken)

My cats absolutely love this! I didn’t realize how big it was. I am used to the small short skinny ones that you usually get. Very well made one of my cats weighs 17 pounds and he will jump on it and climb to the top of it. It is very stable and has no problem holding him. So glad that I purchased this. I can’t say enough good things about it. Very well made worth every penny!

Love the height and sturdiness of this unit. Just hit it hit Christmas. My 2 yr old kitty loves climbing to the top and sitting on the perch, while my 4 yr old climbs to the top but hasn’t mastered getting on the perch yet. He is bigger and heavier, so this may be the issue. Nonetheless he loves climbing on it.
