Ultimate Scratching Post item# 182006
 
$62.99

This is indeed the ultimate scratching post. It is high quality, stable, and attractive enough that it doesn't have to be relegated to the back room!

  • Fibrous and durable sisal material naturally inspires scratching.
  • Perfect for conditioning nails (superior to carpeting which snags nails and encourages scratching on other carpeted surfaces).
  • Sturdy base eliminates wobbling and tipping, which could discourage the cat from future attempts to use the post.
  • The 32" post height allows the cat to stretch vertically while using the post (important for territorial marking purposes and for toning muscles).
  • The finest materials and workmanship guarantee a scratching post that will remain attractive and useful.
  • Base measures 16" x 16"

      Comments about SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post (SS):

      My youngest cat took to it right away--she both scratches and climbs on it. My two-yr old male isn't sold on it yet. The 13lb foster cat almost tipped it over when she tried to jump up on top. She doesn't tip it when scratching though. The post is very attractive and it hopefully will save my sofa from further damage!

        We used to transport the scratching post to our 2nd home when we took our cat with us but decided to get a 2nd so we can have one at both places. They look nice so blend in with most any room decor. Our cat loves it and sits up top to play "catch" with his toys...

          My cats love the scratching post. It is a good height allowing them to get in a stretch, which their complicated spines need. My cats also enjoy sitting on top of it.

              It took my cat more than a month to use this post. I have another high quality post from elsewhere that he likes much better. I don't like the fact that you can see the seams both in the post covering and in the particle board top and bottom - it makes it look cheap, and there is no way to position the post in a room to avoid seeing the seams. It is also not as sturdy as it should be - tightened as much as possible, it still wobbles.

                Both of my cats absolutely love this scratching post! One of them was not used to using a scratching post (she came from a shelter and must have scratched furniture instead). Soon after arriving at our house, we introduced her to the scratching post and scratching box. She prefered the box since the old post was not tall enough. Now she uses this post since she can stretch completely...they both love it and so do we!

                  I love this post and so does my cat. The sisal quality is excellent and has not been sprayed with any noxious products. The wood look is very nice, fits in well with furniture. My cat is able to stand her full height and vigorously scratch the post. No noxious ingredients have been used in the making of this post. It is 100% cat and people safe.

                    This is a great product! It has really helped save my couch which was taking a beating from my three cats who used it as their scratching post before I bought this. I thought is was a little pricey, but I'm so glad I bought it.

                    Here are the things I like:
                    -It is tall so the cats can really stretch while scratching it.
                    -It looks nice, and goes well with most any decor
                    -It is sturdy. You don't have to worry about it tipping over. (I didn't have the problem that another reviewer mentioned about it getting damaged easily. No damage so far, and I've had it for a while.)

                    The only thing I've noticed is that one of my cats still shows a preference for the old, ugly rope scratcher. He'll use this scratcher, but not often. The other two cats love it, and I have to admit, it's worth the money.

                        I've bought other scratching posts only to have them sit around not being used. I showed my cat how to use it one time and he uses it numerous times during the day. He can stretch all the way to the top and really dig in and the scratching post stays still and doesn't rock. It's well worth the money. It's attractively made so can be used in any room and blends in. I highly recommend it.

                        I have multiple scratching posts for my two cats, one a 5-year-old female, and the other, an 8-month-old male high-octane kitten. I placed the ultimate post next to the sofa (where they had been scratching to my distress). Both cats have been using the post, and have let the sofa be.
