SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post

I have four fairly large cats (ranging from 6kg to 9kg) who have tested this product for me. This product sat in my Amazon shopping cart for some time while I pondered whether it was crazy to spend so much money on a scratching pole. After having had the pole for approximately three months now, I’m comfortable to say it was worth the money as my cats seem to love it and it’s a quality product. The pole is much taller than your average scratching pole (approximately 85cm from the base to the top) and very sturdy. It doesn’t show any signs of wobble despite my cats sitting on top of it, applying their amble weight to it while scratching and scratching while hanging upside down from the top of it (some pictures are included to show this). My cats are very destructive and I generally find that any scratching toy I purchase them starts showing wear and fluff almost immediately - I’ve included a picture to show the condition after three months of active use and it’s fairing really well. One downside to this product would be is that I’m not sure there’s a way to replace the scratching sections once worn and/ or destroyed - however, if the life of the product is lengthy I’m comfortable with this. One other thing I’d add is it took almost a week for my cats to show any interest in this product at all so don’t give up on it (and feel enraged about wasting your money) if your babies don’t show immediate interest !

Pesado e robusto. O meu gato de 7Kg consegue arranhar sem o derrubar e até subir lá para cima.

The product is good but the top is smooth and not covered with cat's covers . my cats slipped from it and they love to sit on top which they cant with this product so they just use the stand

L'idea dell' oggetto è tanto semplice quanto efficace. Il materiale e la cura sono scarsi. Il legno di base e testa è scarsissimo, la struttura non è perfettamente allineata, non ci sono in dotazione feltrini adesivi da posizionare sotto la base, gli spigoli sono vivi e fragili. Ho dovuto acquistare a parte feltrini e paraspigoli. Un oggetto valido ma troppo costoso per la sua fattura. Così come realizzato doveva costare almeno la metà.
