My kitten jumped on this scratcher and started using it before I even had it on the floor! I’d say it’s a winner.

We have bought so many of these scratching posts that we have lost count. Our cats, from kittens to seniors, love these scratching posts and soon wear them out to the bone. No scratched furniture or draperies!
T.
★★★★★
I've purchased this style umpteen times. My cat loves to just lounge on it all day, scratch when the need arises. I've purchased other styles but this one is a favorite. The others are mostly ignored.
S.
★★★★★
I noticed that everyone else Cat also used this as a Bed or Pillow. My cat may not use it as intended but it's still a great buy. Watching her used it like a pillow is cute.
J.
★★★★★
Solid build and easy to move around. A great addition to my cat’s play area

The cat liked the scratching post right away, during the operation it became a favorite habitat. Serves well, still in good condition, but already thinking about a new one. You may have other models. Didn't think it would last that long. Definitely lasts longer than conventional carpet and sisal. Recently, pieces of cardboard come off, but since the scratching post is more than a year old, this is not significant.

It was a very good purchase, thank you. We now have two cats and both are delighted, and lie there and, most importantly, only tear their claws there. The condition of the scratching post is normal, I still use it and, in principle, use it.

Our second time ordering a scratcher. Happy with the quality and the look; it looks very stylish in the flat, like a piece of furniture. Fully matches the photos on the site and the stated dimensions. The price is good too. The kitten happily sharpens her claws and sometimes just comes to lie on it. Orders are dispatched the same day.
Before you order
All answers Good questions
Will my cat actually use it?
Most do — cardboard is the surface cats choose on their own. Put it where they already scratch and rub in a pinch of catnip.
Does it make a mess?
Far less than cheap scratchers: the dense board and wooden facade keep flakes inside. A few crumbs the first week, then almost nothing.
Is it safe for kittens and older cats?
Yes — cardboard, wood and water-based glue, nothing else. It gives under the claw, so no split claws, and the low curve is easy to climb.
Does it need assembling?
No — it arrives assembled. Unbox it, put it down, done.
