MidWest Feline Nuvo Grand Forte 41-in Cat Scratching Post

A very well made and very easy to assemble scratchy. Looked a long time for something large enough for my ragdoll to get a real stretch and scratch and this exceeded my expectations. However, after the first day, both cats have actively ignored the very large scratchy (elephant in the room) for some reason, but they tend to be persnickety kitts.

This scratching post is big, tall, and sturdy. Cats won't use a post that wobbles or is too small/short. This post is big enough and seems sturdy enough for even the biggest cats or multi-cat households. Assembly is very easy. My 9 month old kitten was already using it before I even had it fully assembled!

I never realized (until I got this scratching post) what a difference the right scratching post can make. This is tall and sturdy and my cats love to take a running leap and scratch their way to the top. It is sturdy so they can perch on the top without it wiggling or falling over. The height is perfect for allowing them to stretch all the way up while scratching. A little of Chewy's organic catnip sprinkled over the roping puts my kitties right over the top, while saving our furniture. This is the best one out there.

I bought this without reading the dimensions and it is very tall, so keep that in line if you’re looking for something less noticeable. We love this scratchers and so do our cats. This is the first scratcher we’ve had that does not wiggle or wobble as they scratch. Even our heavier furniture posts will wiggle and this doesn’t budge. Very heavy duty and worth ever penny!

This is our third scratching post, purchased after realizing that the cat had simply out-grown the other smaller ones in the house. He needed something much bigger than him, something tall enough he could theoretically climb. This ticks all the boxes. Sometimes we hear him literally grabbing and crawling around the base in circles, and it is hilarious. He does this now to the post instead of our bed frame, which is a bonus!

I have been keeping an eye out for sometime for a post that would accommodate large cats -- not to be found until this one. I've been replacing carpeting for years on the old ones & was tired of doing that, but I had no choice if I wanted the furniture & door frames to survive. All 7 cats (rescued from the yard) of various weights & sizes are using this. After I bought the 1st one, I waited to see if they would all use it. I just ordered & received a 2nd one. The posts are sturdy enough that the larger cats don't knock it over & are able to fully stretch out when using it. I got quick delivery on each one, and there was no problem with the parts or putting it together.

My cats scratch the heck out of this post and has been a life saver for the furniture. Like other reviews have stated this is a heavy duty scratching post very substantial in size. It’s very sturdy and the sisal of rope is tight enough to get a good scratch. I’ve had the same post for about three years and it’s tattered and torn to shreds so I just bought another one. I’ll probably move the older one over to another area and still keep it as they use it every day. I’m just a perfectionist and want new things in my house. I’m excited to receive my new one. Cats really do need to scratch every day and I see some of their nailsThat come off and they must re-grow.

All 4 of my cats love this! They can get a good stretch and even use it as a climbing pole. Best of all, they are no longer scratching the back of my chair! It’s easy to assemble, and stable so it doesn’t tip over even with my 17 pound cat. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever purchased for my cats. I highly recommend it.

Purchased this for my two cats. They had started scratching a stand up speaker so thought this may distract. They seem to like it. Height is great and they love climbing on top. My one cat still goes to the speaker but less often. Hoping in time she will just use this post.

I got this for my cat because she kept trying to jump up and "attack" her smaller scratching post from when she was a kitten. This is definitely a large item that takes up space, but that's what I was looking for. She can play with her toys on this or just use it for her claws, and it can hold her weight without tipping over. The base also has a really nice, soft material that shows her little paw prints :)
