My little chunkers is eager to play more with this! Excited to have to as a tool for play time to get her back in better shape

My 2 cats attacked this very large scratching post as soon as it was put together. They love it. They can fully stretch and claw. My smaller kitty loves to climb it. Very sturdy and great quality. I expect this one to last much longer than others!

Very big and quite heavy for a scratching post. A great upgrade for my 12lb cat who gave it a good scratch of approval. Definitely worth the money for your kitties! Small scratching posts just don’t give adult cats the same stretch.

Easy to assemble Great for a large cat Very stable

This is by far the very best cat scratching pole available. Heavy enough base so it's safe for adult cats to climb, good quality strong sisal, solid pole construction and very easy to put together. This is the second one I've purchased, and the first one is still going strong. Having 2 gives my cats options for using them in different part of the house. Cheaper ones fall apart faster and can also fall over if your cat weighs nearly as much as the scratching post. PLUS, this tall pole encourages cats to use all their muscles to climb it, and the cat can get a really good stretch, which helps to keep their backs aligned. Also wide enough on top for a cat to sit there and admire the view. I would recommend this item to everyone who wants to keep a cat healthy and active.

I have 3 18 week old kittens that love climbing and scratching this.

Our cats love this tall scratch post with a wide top. I am very likely going to buy one more for another part of the house. It was also easy to assemble.

I've purchased this post twice. It holds up well to multi-cat households with unclipped claws, and in my experience both times I've ordered it, does so for a minimum of several months before showing wear to the rope. It's stable and withstands aggressive climbing and scratching without tipping over. Tip: lay horizontally and rest on its side for added safety, security, and enjoyment by kittens, declawed cats, and timid climbers. Fun that way for all for a stimulating change. A couple of mine enjoy trying to catch interactive wand/feather toys while scaling the horizontal post on their backs. Even my biggest male cat (a long 18-pounder) can enjoy a beautiful full stretch with both paws fully extended above his head using this post in either the upright or horizontal position. Fun to hide treats at the top for them to hunt. Highest recommendation. I think it's the best scratching post out there. The only improvement I'd like to see is an even bigger base and actual carpet at the top and covering the base as those are covered with that plush fabric and it is that cheap plush fabric that usually wears out looking unsightly -- but in my experience that takes years.
