My cats use this scratching post a lot

My cats love to lie on this scratching post. It looked great in the picture but I really don't know why my cats like it so much. I think this is because they can access it from another scratching post I have. It's a scratching post straight up and down. Each platform is the same size as the one below it. This means that the cat has to climb the pillars to get from one platform to the other. My other cat tree has a larger base and gets smaller towards the top. This allows cats to jump from the bottom up without having to climb. It's useless to grab in the middle of a tree. Above the hole is a ladder that covers most of the hole. And the ladder is useless too. Unless you have a kitty that can't climb the pillar to the next level, the stairs will only get in the way. We covered the opening with a cat bed to make this platform a little usable. My cats like to lie in the crate (although it's very shallow) and on the top bunk (although it's on the small side). I'm not disappointed that I bought this scratching post, but wish there were other design options (bigger beds, different sized platforms, more judiciously placed climbing elements). My cats use wood and have not complained as far as I know. If you are looking for a scratching post that fits perfectly in a corner, then this is the scratching post for you. Otherwise you can skip this one.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I will be silent
