Highlighted Reviews
"This item helped my kitty who loves to scratch her toes on the carpet on my stairs not destroy the carpet! This scratcher is very sturdy and has not fallen down the stairs or fallen over even when she scratches on the top part! 10/10 Would order again!"
"I bought this because it has a stand up scratcher. You have to put it together yourself. It did not last long. It fell apart within a month; so I took the 2 pieces apart and laid it on the floor, but cats did not like it much at all. Great idea, but don't waste your money on this one."
Bottom Line
This cat scratcher offers good value and functionality but has significant durability issues. It's best suited for those looking for a temporary or backup scratcher or for cats that are gentle.
