Why it matters
Karolpar's YY101 has a wide 4.3 in sisal column, more scratching area than thin posts, on a 15.8 in base, standing 34 in.
It suits cats of all sizes.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Large cats
- Heavy scratchers
- Living rooms
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that only scratch carpet (try a flat mat)
- Very large cats on small posts
- Owners expecting a scratcher to last forever
Pros and cons
Pros
- Wide column
- 34 in
- Natural sisal
Cons
- Base weight
- Plain look
- Assembly
Limitations to weigh
- Put scratchers where your cat already scratches: by doors, beds and the arm of the sofa.
- A post should let your cat stretch fully upright; most adults need 30 in or more.
- A pinch of catnip or a wand toy dragged across the surface helps a cat find it.
