Amazon Basics Sturdy Cat Scratching Post for Indoor Cats & Kittens, Classic Single Post with Sisal Rope, Jute Fiber, Wood Base, Large (35.4"H), Brown

Game changer! The cats love it's height. Kittens to adults. My new couch will survive now! Quit scrolling and grab one. I'm getting another, maybe two more. All the cats use it. Have many cats and it's survived a lot of scratching to! Bought 4 months ago still in good shape. Sturdy wide base, I was skeptical, but it's a good product. "Fitz" loves to climb it.

TL;DR: big stretches, fun to climb, cat approved and highly recommended. I have two 4-year-old cats with opposite personalities. They have never had an official scratching post (besides the 4 on the legs of their tower and our couches if that counts) so I decided to do some research. Square scratching posts are best for cats to get a full stretch in with their scratches. The first few I saw were $50+ so I am glad I found this one. It is extremely sturdy, tall, well-made. It comes with a little fuzzy ball attachment and an extra in case that one is destroyed. It is easy and quick to assemble. The brown parts are very soft. My cats took a bit to actually use it since it was their first experience with one, but once they did, they fell in love. Bean (pictured) loves bug stretches and getting a good scratch in. She is also very proud of herself for jumping up top. Overall, highly recommended for quality, price, and enjoyment.

A two week slow boat from Cambodia but excellent product. Sturdy. Big. My cat hangs from it like a tree a grabs a mouse from the platform with ease. Her look of gratitude is enough. The rope wrapped posts are nice until the rope breaks. Then it unravels over time. These are a solid material that hold up under razor claws. I need a 15' one to reach to the ceiling. She'll climb it like a tree and hang like a squirrel.

I have a Maine Coon that just loves to show off his handsome looks by modeling on top for this pic. This is my second scratching post like this and I love how the last one lasted two years and Henry and my other cats are still shredding the post daily, or at least until my new one comes in this Thursday. Amazon makes a really good solid post that does not tip over. The carpeted base gives them the traction they need for vigorous 'workouts'. This is not one of those post with the siscal going around and around, causing nails to come off before they were meant to and me finding their little bloody paw prints. So that one went into the trash immediately, and I went back to what I know works best for my cats. Most of my cats are large, except for one, and this post takes a daily beating. The only thing that would make this post better is if it had 4 more feet of height, since Henry loves to climb on it and just hang there, real chill. I highly recommend this particular post because it has the fiber mat that wraps around it, not causing damage to their paws. No rope going around on this post. This post is Henry approved. Can't get a more solid reaction then that. Henry is quite stubborn about what he likes and does not like. Actually Henry is just stubborn, but so is this post. It just keeps on keeping on. Edit; I got the scratching post and my cats just love it. The only thing that can make this post better is getting a seat for Henry to sit in, since he loves climbing on top. This post is just as awesome as the first one was. I am very pleased with howuch my cats love it and the fact it never tips over which is saying a lot when the cats are rambunctious and there are three on it trying to get to the top first. I still say if this post were 4 feet taller, my cats could climb a bit before reaching the top platform. I really have to get a seat for it. Maybe then two could be on top at the same time. Give this post a try if you have large cats, you won't be sorry and your cats will indeed love it. Amazon makes a great product!

I own three cats, one of which (1.5 year only Maine Coon) has always taken a liking to our bedroom curtains. I needed something large and wide to help him get his urge to stretch and scratch out. This turned out perfect! I was looking for something tall and wide, and this turned out larger than I thought! It's sturdy enough for my 12lb hour cats to climb and sit on top of, and has stood up to our larger cat playing with and scratching. The set up was slightly annoying when attaching the base to the trunk of the scratcher, but nothing one person can't handle. Took me about 30minutes altogether to build it solo. The picture instructions were easy enough to follow, and it even comes with a wall attachment for extra stability if you need it. My boys took to it immediately, and love playing with the ball on a string. The wide trunk is perfect, and my cats can comfortably fit two paws on it. The best part, it's distracted my larger cat away from my curtains, for the most part 🤣 Overall, 100% worth it and at a great price point. Considering buying another more for other rooms in the future.

The Amazon Basics Cat Scratching Post is a simple, sturdy option that works great for both cats and kittens. At 35.4 inches tall, it’s high enough for cats to fully stretch while scratching, which helps satisfy their natural instincts and keeps them from going after furniture. The sisal rope material is durable and gives them the rough texture they love, and the neutral brown design blends easily into most home spaces. It was quick to assemble and feels stable for everyday use without taking up much room. My cat took to it right away and uses it daily, which has definitely reduced unwanted scratching elsewhere. Overall, it’s a great value if you’re looking for a basic, reliable scratching post that gets the job done without any extra fuss.

Amazing item! Upon moving to my new apartment, my cats started scratching my bed and occassionally my rugs. That's when I found this product that I didn't knew I needed. My cats not only completely stopped scratching anything they shouldn't be and now faithfully go straight to this amazing scratching post to scratch. Its super sturdy, I haven't noticed any wobbling while they scratch it because it is tall and well built. I have 2 adult indoor cats and they both use this scratcher. I've had it for maybe a month or alittle less and there isnt any sign of wear. Love this scratcher and am so glad I found it!

Just as pictured. So. I had bought the Amazon one looooong time ago. It has wood not fluffy on the bottom and top and honestly I think it was heavier. The difference I notice is that it does wobble a fair amount. And I don’t mean wobble just on its own. My cats like to jump from it up onto something else. They will climb it and jump off. During this jump off I notice the stand will wobble the opposite way a great deal enough I was a bit like hmm I need to secure this more. It’s located near where I workout so I have 2 sets of big 8lbs red weights and I just put it on the side towards the jump direction and it doesn’t wobble at all. It’s perfect to jump from. I think there was a string and nail to maybe keep it onto a wall? I’m not sure. The instructions were terrible.. but it’s fairly straightforward. The top screw you need to make sure the top has the “smaller side” upwards. So the longest part will screw into the top of the stand. I like the addition of the fluff vs the old. The weight obviously was better and a bit sturdier due to that. Again adding my weights to one side fixed it. It is much cheaper I think the other is about $50 and this is like $36 so that is nice. There’s an odd lip of the sisal on one side. The old wood one I have is fully box shaped, no lip. No real drawback I notice just odd. This seems nice so far. The other one I had I’ve probably had for like 5-6years now.

Best cat scratcher I've ever had. My cat is not a fan of cat trees or usual toys, but she goes crazy on this thing and it holds up! Very sturdy (especially for the price) plus it's pretty cute ;) Definitely recommend

I have two ragdoll cats who absolutely love this scratching post! They fought over it at first but now they take their turns on it, and both love sitting on top! It is absolutely massive, so lots of surface area for scratching!! It’s got a sturdy base too so when they are playing and running and jumping on top, it very rarely tips over. Great value for money and now the focal point of our living room!!

Ich habe den Amazon Basics Kratzbaum (ca. 40 × 40 × 90 cm) einige Wochen in Gebrauch und möchte meine Eindrücke teilen. Qualität & Material: Der Kratzbaum wirkt robust verarbeitet – die Basis ist schwer genug, dass er auch bei kräftigem Bespringen stabil bleibt. Der Teppich‐Bezug fühlt sich angenehm an und ist weich genug für Pfoten, strapaziert aber auch nicht zu schnell. Krallenpflege & Kratzverhalten: Meine Katzen nutzen vor allem den Teppich und die Seitenflächen intensiv zum Kratzen. Das Material bietet genug Widerstand, ohne die Krallen übermäßig zu beschädigen. Es erfüllt seinen Zweck, Möbel und Teppiche zu schonen. Komfort & Nutzung: Die Höhe ist sehr praktisch: Oben kann eine Katze „überwachen“, und unten gibt es genügend Fläche zum Liegen oder Springen. Meine Katzen nutzen beide Ebenen – sowohl zum Ausruhen als auch zum Spielen. Aufbau & Handhabung: Der Kratzbaum ließ sich relativ einfach aufbauen; alle Teile waren dabei und passten gut. Wichtig finde ich, ihn gleich auf einem festen, ebenen Boden zu platzieren, damit nichts wackelt. Optik & Integration ins Zuhause: Das braune Teppichdesign ist neutral und fügt sich gut in Wohnbereiche ein, besonders wenn du warme Holztöne oder Erdtöne im Raum hast. Er fällt auf, aber nicht störend. Verbesserungsvorschläge: Einige Stellen könnten mit der Zeit stärker beansprucht sein – z. B. die Teppichfläche. Eine Option mit austauschbaren Teilen wäre toll, damit man z. B. die obere Liegefläche nach Jahren ersetzen kann. Fazit: Für Katzenbesitzer, die einen großen, stabilen Kratzbaum suchen, der sowohl zum Kratzen als auch zum Entspannen taugt, ist dieses Modell eine gute Wahl. Meine Katzen fühlen sich offensichtlich wohl damit – ich würde ihn wieder kaufen.

Mycket fin och hög och mina katter använder den dagligen.
