SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post

This cat scratcher is great. I have 2 cats, one medium sized 3yr old cat and one large 10yr old cat and they just love it. It’s quite tall and the cats can stretch themselves out to use it rather than having to crouch down. It’s very sturdy and looks good too. Having 2 cats I usually have to buy a new scratcher every few months but they have been using this one constantly for a few months now and it’s still like new. It doesn’t leave a mess when used with no bits of the material falling off from time to time, just a bit of dust now and then. It was a bit more expensive than some scratchers on the market but it’s already saved me money as I would have had to buy a new one by now. As I said it’s still like new a few months after buying and I feel it will last for a long time yet, so good value for money. Better to spend a little extra now to save a lot in the future. I would highly recommend this purchase.

The product is good but the top is smooth and not covered with cat's covers . my cats slipped from it and they love to sit on top which they cant with this product so they just use the stand

Sturdy and aesthetic. My cat loves a good scratch/stretch on it.

The BEST cat scratching post ever!! I love them! If you only have room for one scratching post, this should be it. Super easy to assemble. They’re extremely sturdy, extremely high quality, and last a long, long time. Because they hold up so well, they look fine in our living room. And they don’t take up much space. I have five of these around the house & have bought them for friends. I bought the first one about 15 years ago. It was about eight years before I bought another, so it’s seen the most use. It has been abused by 5 cats, been through two house moves, & it is still in use (I probably should replace the sisal, but the cats don’t seem to care that it’s starting to sag & thin a bit). The cats love to claw at these from below or sitting on top & bending down to claw them. They use them to stretch. They rub on them. They like to sit on top & feel tall. They play with each other on them (one cat on top, one below). They like to bring their toys to play around them. They use them as part of their zoomies obstacle course, & they have NEVER knocked one over. They were even tall & sturdy enough for my male Maine Coon. I have them next to furniture that the cats would otherwise claw, & the cats go for the post every time. I cannot say enough about these posts. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

I've purchased quite a few cat scratchers and this one seems to be the best of the lot. The design and weight makes it strong enough to standalone without additional weights required at the base. The cat can attack it without risk of tipping over or moving. So far the Sisal material has not started shedding. Other scratchers made from other materials started shedding about a week into use. Fingers crossed this one lasts more than 3 months. Let's hope I get what I paid for - top quality that will last for a few years at least.
