 The Best Cat Scratching Post I Have Ever Purchased! April 18, 2006

Have your cats clawed your furniture a little? Maybe a lot? We have 9 cats, and our furniture was being clawed to the point where we had to make repairs. If the clawing had continued it would mean replacing some furniture pieces. That gets expensive!! Well, I found these cat scratching posts and bought two of them. Wonder of wonders, our cats use these wonderful scratching posts exclusively. No more damage to our furniture. Our cats love the height of the posts as they can stand and reach to claw the posts like they used to like to do with our furniture. Average height scratching posts just did not satisfy our cats' urge to stretch tall and scratch or claw at the same time. With these posts, they can satisfy that urge to their hearts' content. These posts may seem more expensive than the average post, but believe me, the furniture you were thinking you would have to replace is going to be much more expensive. These posts are attractive with any decor, and stand the test of use over time. I would happily buy these scratching posts again. But they are durable, and I don't need to do that. They have paid for themselves many times over. I highly recommend them to anyone with cats who are tearing up the furniture. These posts stop that activity completely, in my experience. Give them a try, and you'll see!
Smart Cat Ultimate Scratching Post--the BEST!!! August 29, 2006

My cats love this thing! It is tall enough for them to stretch out and scratch their little hearts out, and they climb all over it and even sit on top of it! Well worth the mony spent! And it has a wide base, so the thing doesnt even tilt when they attack it full force running full speed from across the room!
Every cat owner should get one of these for their cats. Declawing is cruel and who needs it with an awesome scratching post like this? I plan on ordering two more for other rooms in my house.
Update: June 2009...it has been three years and this scratching post is still standing. In fact, it still looks almost brand new. my cats use it daily =) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Best scratching post! August 24, 2006

My two cats love these posts! They use them regularly. We have three. Doesn't tip, and the cats can stretch. For those who cannot seem to get your cats to use this post, try placing it in a strategic location. Some cats like to make a grand entrance upon entering a room, so position the post accordingly. Also, do not overdo the enticing, as cats prefer making their own decisions. These posts are the best investment we've made for our cats to play out their scratching instincts.

A quality product that can take the playfulness of an 8 1/2 pound cat. We have another scratching post that's made of 3/8" plywood, has a cardboard tube attached and it's completely covered with cut-pile carpet. The "Ultimate" is made of a very heavy construction with a sisel-wrapped post. The sisel is far superior to cut-pile carpet in removing the outer layer of a cat's nail - and cats love it.
This is a one-time purchase, as the sisel can be replaced after a lot of wear & tear. It may seem a little pricey but there's a huge difference when you compare it to the junk you have to continually replace.
Simple but effective November 6, 2007

This is a simple but well made scratching post that you need to put together. It took me literally less than 2 minutes with a screwdriver and it was ready to go. I may be lucky, but my 2 cats took right to it immediately and scratched to their heart's content. The instructions suggested placing in front of something they are currently scratching. I did put it in front of the (NEW!) couch that they had started to go after. Now, they no longer scratch the chair, couch or mattress. I hadn't known that cats needed to stretch and scratch and I should have had one a long time ago. They are obviously content with a place to fully stretch and scratch and I no longer worry about having things shredded. This post is worth the money and I'm happy with it.
