Great Scratching Post

Good height! It is durable and sturdy; our cats can't pull it over on themselves. This is our second one!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Mostly plastic strands with some sisal woven in

Plastic

My cats use it, and that makes them happy. But this isn't made entirely of sisal, it actually appears to be made more of a plastic fiber. It is in large strands woven with the sisal, but the plastic fiber runs laterally so your cat is actually scratching the plastic more than the sisal which runs up and down. There is more of this plastic than the natural sisal fiber that it is advertised. I can see the plastic pieces shredding into smaller threads and further evidence of the plastic shredding, becoming too small to see but I'm sure it is going into their mouth via grooming. I wanted to avoid plastic for this very reason. Don't declaw, but also be mindful of the actual plastic your cat is shredding onto itself. (Also the case with the carpet trees. All of those fibers are plastic fiber.) The cats like it and its sturdy for my big boys. It looks like it has a typical lifespan so the advertisement being somewhat dependant on the natural fiber is moot.

No, I do not recommend this product.

This is the best cat scratching post I’ve ever seen! If you have a cat that likes to stretch when they scratch, this is a must. It is also very sturdy, and I highly recommend it! 🐾🐾

I have 3 big adult cats who love it. They don't scratch anywhere else now. Great size for my small home, very sturdy by design, and simple to assemble!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Worth the price!

My cats ignored other scratching posts in favor of couch, chair, baseboards. Since I bought this one it’s the only thing they use. I sprayed catnip on it once and gave them a treat the first couple times. Now it’s part of their morning routine and they don’t scratch the furniture or anything else.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Don't Buy This Scratcher

My cat has scratched this post maybe 10x over several weeks. The sisal fabric is coming unglued from the post - not wearing like other scratchers but the whole sheets glue beginning to wrinkle. Not recommended. Poorly finished.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Incredible scratching post

I have tried cat scratch devices with limited success over the years. Our newest cats were scratching up wood frames. Desperate, I decided to try again and chose this post. Both cats immediately started using the post several times a day eliminating their use of wood frames! It is extremely well built -solid as ca be. No hesitation recommending.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 37 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

What is the post made of (under the sisal)?

    How do I replace the sisal? Ours is all worn out and it seems crazy to throw this whole thing out -- and to pay $50 for a new one!

    1. This thing was designed to last for years. There is no replacing the sisal. I've had it for about 2 years now and my cat uses it a lot. Still looks like new. Paying $50 every 5 years or so is nothing compared to prices of everything else these days.



     Is this scratching post made in the USA

    1. From my investigation, it looks like they are made by Pioneer Pets, which is an american company. I will say that my cats love this scratching post, and use it every day.



    What is an item weight? 

      Can this be used by kittens and seniors as well

      1. Yes! I have two cats and purchased one 3 years ago. Although areas of the cover are frayed from scratching, this is still the most stable and longest lasting scratching post I have ever purchased! I will definitely purchase another one of these when the time comes.



      What is the size of the base piece, in inches?

      1. 2 pieces, 15 3/4" total width



      How tall is the scratching post?

      1. floor to top is 33 1/4". total scratching area is 30"



      Can you order a replacement cover for the post?

        Bigger padded platform?

        1. Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not carry larger platforms for the Ultimate Scratching Post.



        Can the Perch Pad be purchased separately?

        1. Absolutely. The cushion is sold separately and its often on sale for $11.99
