"I must have a cat who loves to scratch on just about anything. She turns nothing down. With cardboard scratchers, I always return to Frisco and will stick with them from now on unless the quality changes."

β€” Ruth

"I have to spray it every few days with catnip spray in order to get the cats to continue to use it otherwise they leave it alone and have since it first arrived. It needs more catnip!"

Bottom Line

This is a well-made, affordable option for cat owners looking to provide a scratching post. It is sturdy and durable, but pet acceptance can vary. Be prepared to spend time encouraging your cat to use it, and consider it a win if they do. We recommend it for budget-conscious cat owners or those with cats who already like catnip.
