Review on πŸ„ Suvuo Mushroom Cat Scratching Post - Natural Sisal Scratcher for Kittens & Cats, Indoor Cat Scratchers by David Kits

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Better for kittens than adults. You have to weigh it!

I love the design - it's very cute and unique. The material of the scratching part (mushrooms) is good quality sisal. Easy to assemble, seven minutes. However, this scratching post has two major drawbacks: 1) the base is *very* light and covered in cheap-looking plastic grass to fill an Easter basket, and 2) it's a lot shorter than you might expect. For 1) we had to add our own weight to the bottom of the base to prevent it from falling. We have a cat who likes to flop onto his side to scratch a pole. Because of this, the scratching post fell on him more than once. It never hurt him because the post is very light and very fast. But it's very annoying that a normal adult cat can knock it over so easily. It also frustrates the cat because it can't get a good scratch with the post running all over the place - which it does. Regarding 2) I blame myself for not having checked the measurements. I really expected this cat tree to be about 5 or 6 inches taller than it is. The larger mushroom doesn't even reach my knee. The smaller mushroom is so short that none of our cats bothered to use it. Perhaps this scratching post is intended for kittens and not adult cats - which explains why it's so light and much shorter than a regular scratching post.
