Somewhere Better Than the Sofa Arm

Cats scratch to stretch their shoulders and mark territory — they are not being difficult. Give them a vertical post wrapped in natural sisal near the spot they already use, and most will switch to it within a week. The ball on a string turns it into a play station rather than just furniture.

Key Features

• Natural sisal rope — the texture cats actually prefer
• Tall enough for a full stretch, which is what makes a post work
• Weighted base so it does not tip when your cat leans into it
• Dangling ball on elastic for batting and pouncing
• Soft velvet base mat for a rest afterwards
• Assembles in minutes with the supplied screws

• Material: natural sisal rope, velvet-covered particle board base, plastic ball

• Assembly: required, tools and fixings included

In the Box

• 1 × scratching post
• 1 × hanging ball toy

Please Note

• Put it beside the furniture your cat already scratches rather than in a spare room — that is what makes them switch.
• Sisal sheds fibres as it is used. That is normal, and a post that looks worn is one your cat likes.
• Tighten the base screws after a few weeks of use.
• Supervise play with the hanging ball and remove it if the elastic frays.
• Measurements are approximate and the grey shade may vary slightly from the photos.
