Prevue Pet Products 7150 Kitty Power Paws Multi-Platform Cat Scratcher with Tassels - Natural, High-Quality Cat Scratching Post Review

First, the design of this scratching post is excellent. My cat loves it and uses it more than any other scratching post I've bought in the past (and there have been quite a few). But what could really spoil an absolutely excellent product is poor execution. Staples are visible on the scratching posts. There are gaps where the rope doesn't cover the cardboard underneath. And on the material from which the round pads are covered, protruding threads stick out. I think once my cat destroys it I can

Very good product. My kittens play with it and love scratching it every day. I had some initial major issues with the product.

Having never had a scratching post, they had to be taught to climb on it, but once they had it they were hooked. (Note: Cats are creatures of habit. Scratch, then try placing it where your cat normally scratches.) This…

I'm in my 60's and have vowed to NEVER buy another scratching post that requires assembly. Then I saw this one. I was so lucky to find one that was all sisal (no carpet). I just finished building it. Took me about 30 minutes - easy and I can barely hang the picture. It seems really solid and a bit bigger than I expected (okay) and a very good price. My new kitten won't be able to get into her fur house for another 3 weeks but I wanted to make sure it was acceptable (and the box was thrown in…
