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. Why do cats scratch? To remove old nail sheaths from the claws. To exercise and tone muscles. To relieve stress, frustration and boredom. To warm up for a vigorous play session. To mark territory. SmartCat Training Tips Place the post in a room where the cat spends a lot of time. Cats often like to stretch and scratch when they wake up from a nap. To introduce the post to your cat try using catnip as a lure (for most cats a lure is unnecessary, but fun).

Customer Review: Smart Cat Ultimate Scratching Post--the BEST!!!
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.
Customer Review: Best scratching post!
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 mad for our cats to play out their scratching instincts.
