Description
Description Lifetime natural cedar scratching post for indoor cats. Handcrafted in the USA from a debarked, kiln-dried eastern white cedar tree with a naturally textured surface for everyday vertical scratching. The last post you will ever have to buy.
Material: Natural, untreated eastern white cedar log; approximately 4-inch post diameter. Stable base: 24-inch round solid-wood base, approximately 8 lb, with a padded underside to help protect hardwood and polished floors.
Size options: SK-28, SK-36, and SK-48 models with 28-inch, 36-inch, or 48-inch post heights. The 48-inch model is suitable for larger adult cats and the shorter models suit smaller spaces. Indoor use: Designed for indoor cats, including multi-cat homes, shelters, and rescue operations. Not designed for outdoor use.
Natural texture: Each cedar post has unique grain, knots, bark-like texture, and color variation. The wood is not painted or lacquered.
Maintenance: Do not soak the wood or use harsh cleaners. Rotate the post using the pre-drilled pilot holes as needed to distribute wear. Hardware and assembly instructions included. The heavy-duty cedar log and wide solid wood base are designed to minimize movement during scratching while providing a durable, space-conscious alternative to bulky cat furniture.

This scratching post is sk-48 , very large indeed.Arrived wrapped in thick plastic wrap which did not prevent damage to item very small dings not worth complaining to the company about considering I knew I was paying for a literal shaved kiln dried tree trunk/log. The base would feel more secure if it were heavier & thicker. The main scratching area came a bit split & the hole for the main fastening bolt was a bit too small though the item came w/ a paper that said it was inspected & that is a normal occurrence I feel that it could have been better sized. Needs 2 people to assemble as it is heavy and cumbersome to secure for the force needed to affix the bolt, I recommend thick gloves with grip as splinters are not surprising to incur. Steep price for such a workout lol however this type of scratching post is more expensive elsewhere.
My felines are still adjusting; its been a couple months since my purchase. The photos assembled get cut off sorry, Thanks for reading my review =]
It is fantastic! Totally sturdy!
My cat loves scratching raw wood so this was perfect. Would recommend
Well what's to say, my cat seems horrified from it she wont even go near it. I feel like i need to put rope around it and then maybe she will go near it. I should've just bought one with rope... now i will have to spend more money 💰
Hi Christine:
Sorry to hear you kitty is not liking her post. Did you follow all the tips for use you received? If not that's an issue.
Tips for use:
Kitties have scent glands in their paws. Getting your kitty’s scent on the tree is the key to successful lifetime use.
• Liquid spray on cat nip.
• Get involved. Place your tree close to where they’ve been scratching, not stuffed in a corner.
• Participate in making it a play toy, a new game encouraging your kitty to climb up the tree to the top. Red laser pointers are excellent for this.
• A toy tied to a string on the end of long pole or fishing pole taunting your kitty to jump up on the tree.
• Rubbing a toy of theirs, a blanket or bedding to get their scent on the tree.
• Take the unattached tree outside and roll it around on the grass. (If your grass is chemical free) outdoor smells smells are the best.
Getting their own scent on the tree is most important for years of healthy scratching.
Kind Regards,
Shoo-Kitty
Getting ready to order another one! After years of using a particle board in our garage, our cat lost his favorite place to scratch when we moved. He doesn't like cardboard or sisal - he had started to use the door frames! This is the answer for him.
