Why it matters
PAWSCRAT's post uses a 5.5 in diameter sisal column, the thickest we list, standing 32 in tall. A thick post feels like a tree trunk and gives big cats plenty to dig into.
Hand wash only.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Strong scratchers
- Large cats
- Multi-cat homes
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
- 5.5 in column
- 32 in
- Lots of surface
Cons
- Heavy
- Pricier
- Plain
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.
