SmartCat The Ultimate 32-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post

I've repurchased this at least 3 times. My cat absolutely loves this scratching post - it's stable and tall enough for stretching. He is now too big to jump/sit on the top platform, but still runs up to the post several times throughout the day to stretch, scratch, and rub against it. Put treats on top once in a while for extra motivation!

This product came highly recommended by two different people at work. I explained that I had purchased scratching posts in the past and been disappointed because the cats I've had never used them. I think my friends were right that this one is large and tall enough that the cats actually want to use it. I am very happy

I bought this as an in-the-wings replacement for the same scratching post. I can't imagine being without one, so bought one to have when current one wears out--if it ever does. My two cats have used it for years and it's pretty worn at the top corners, but they still use it. The only thing that would make this better would be if it were possible to rotate the scratching part from top to bottom which would double it's lifespan. Oh well, it's a great post.

My cat really likes this scratcher. It took a little work to get him to use this instead of my couch, but it looks like after a little play effort, he has made the transition. My only complaint with this product is that the wood edges are really sharp, so I had to buy some rubber corner guards for it. It would be great if the manufacturer could fix this on future product designs.

I do not understand why it’s so hard to find a cat scratcher with a large enough base to make it sturdy. That extra $5 of wood is necessary, especially for large breed cats like mine. If the scratcher isn’t sturdy, the cats will find something that is. You know what’s sturdy and doesn’t wobble? Furniture. Thankfully my two cat trees are tall and sturdy so my cats use those instead. They tried this out and at the first wobble abandoned it forever. Please dear makers of cat furniture, provide a larger sturdier base!!! I will gladly pay more.

Thank goodness we found this. Easy to assemble, takes up little floorspace, and the kitty loves it. We were hoping it would stop her from scratching up our couch, and I don't think we're to that point, but she really does love it and we can tell it will last her lifetime and then some. Kitties love to scratch while upright and this is exactly what she (we) needed! Hopefully it can eventually replace the couch.

A cat sponsor friend gave this ULTIMATE natural color scratching post years ago for Siamese Max, who never used it. It was so handsome it was part of the decor. We since had two cats who loved it and replaced it this year with the NEW GRAY color for Jeremiah Johnson's birthday present. Gorgeous! It is different from the other one with furry top and bottom!

My cat would run through the cheap sisal scratcher in no time. Looking for a more sustainable option, I got a couple of these. She loves them! It took some putting treats around/on top to pique her interest, but now she's obsessed. Great option if you're looking for something your cat will love and will last a long time!

Kitty was using our leather furniture as a scratching post so we tried this. Huge success. Kitty loves it and it's tall enough that our long & lanky cat can get a full stretch. No issues with stability, either.

my cats are lions when it comes to clawing things. They love this. I can't say it saved my furniture because they destroyed everything before we got this. They are great now, they only scratch the posts. Hopefully when we get new furniture it will stay that way!!!!
