Why it matters
PuzzlePaw makes a gothic scratching post: sisal with a spider-web base and a dangling spider toy, about 26 in tall. It's a decor statement as much as a scratcher.
Hand wash.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Gothic decor
- Playful cats
- Small cats
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
- Distinctive design
- Spider toy
- Sisal
Cons
- About 26 in
- Light base
- Niche look
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.
