Highlighted Reviews

— Beth

"Great buy. Cats love this scratching post. They love playing with the birds."

— Rachel

"From the pictures, I expected this to come with a base. It doesn't, it's just the vertical rope-coiled cylinder. I'll have to build a base myself."

Bottom Line

This post is a decent option for small cats or kittens, especially if you don't mind adding a base. For larger cats, consider a taller model or one with a built-in base.
