SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post, 32"

Tall & sturdy

Best for: Saving furniture from scratching

Tall enough for a full stretch and heavy enough at the base that it doesn't wobble, which is exactly why cats choose it over the sofa. It's wrapped in coarse sisal.

Our in-depth look

Who it's for

Any cat that scratches furniture. A post that's tall enough for a full stretch and doesn't wobble is what makes cats choose it over your sofa.

Who should skip it

Cats that only scratch horizontally — add a flat scratcher too.

Tips

Place it right next to the furniture your cat already scratches, rub catnip on it, and reward your cat for using it.

Questions owners ask

Why won't my cat use a scratching post?

Usually the post is too short, too wobbly, or in the wrong place.

Can I replace the sisal?

It's built as one unit; when the sisal wears through, it's time for a new post.
