Ultimate Scratching Post

A tall, rock-solid sisal post that lets a cat stretch out fully. The one most likely to actually save your sofa.

Our take

Most scratching posts fail for one of two reasons: they wobble, or they are too short for a cat to stretch. This one fixes both. At 32 inches a cat can reach right up and pull, the sisal is the coarse texture cats prefer over carpet, and the wide base does not tip mid-scratch. Put it right next to whatever the cat is currently shredding, because a post in the wrong spot just gets ignored.

Good to know

Who it is for
