Highlighted Reviews
"I've had 2 of these. There are others, but this one lasted & my kitty seems to like it. She is a fast learner. I had been using the scratch boxes & she'd roll around on them & get lumpy & bumpy all over & I'd have to get a groomer in to give her a haircut. This is so much cleaner!"
"This is a lot more lightweight and flimsy than anticipated. I’ve had similar scratch posts that are cactus style and this one is poor quality. The cats knock it over when they try and use it and it will probably be torn to shreds quickly."
Bottom Line
It’s not a top choice for adult cats and might only be suitable for kittens. Others describing it as decorative and failing in its main functionality.
