    SmartCat The Ultimate 32-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post Gray

    Reach for the stars (and scratch a little when you get there)! The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post has a 32″ post height that allows cats to get a full stretch tone their muscles and mark their territory without clawing walls or curtains. It’s covered in a fibrous woven sisal that won’t snag nails like carpet-covered scratch posts.

    • Sturdy 16″ x 16″ base keeps post from tipping and wobbling.
    • 32″ post height allows your cat to stretch vertically while using the post (important for territorial marking purposes and for toning muscles).
    • Fibrous and durable woven sisal naturally inspires scratching and relieves cat’s stress without snagging cats’ nails.
    • Attractive and neutrally toned to fit in with any home decor.
    • Assembles quickly and easily with two included screws.

    Instructions

    • Place the post in a room where the cat spends a lot of time. Cats often like to stretch and scratch when they wake up from a nap.
    • To introduce the post to your cat try using catnip as a lure. (For most cats a lure is unnecessary but fun.) Rub catnip onto the sisal material and call the cat over to the post.
    • Scratch your nails along the surface of the material. This will attract the cat and at the same time teach him where to scratch.
    • After your cat begins to scratch praise him and give him a food treat. (Small kittens can be trained to climb the post by showing them food treats and placing it at the top of the post.
    • If your cat has already been scratching a piece of furniture place the post directly in front of it.
    • Temporarily cover the previously scratched areas with a few strips of double-sided carpet tape or clear double-sided tape strips that are designed for this purpose. This will help redirect your cat's scratching activities to the post.
