Find the Right Cat Scratching Post for Your Cat
Every cat scratches differently, which is why TopCat offers a range of cat scratching post styles. Here's a quick look at each option so you can pick the best fit.
Sisal Cat Scratching Posts
Our sisal scratching post combines a tall vertical post with a built-in flat surface, giving your cat two scratching angles in one sturdy unit. It's covered in tightly woven sisal fabric and framed with hardwood.
- Sisal-covered base and post
- Loaded with organic catnip
- Round design adds extra surface area
Vinyl Base Cat Scratching Posts
The vinyl base scratching post keeps our signature 32-inch sisal-covered post but sits on a durable, maple-grain-finished vinyl base that resists warping and rocking over years of daily use.
- 16 x 16 inch vinyl base
- Recessed toy shelf on top
- Metal attachment system prevents wobble
Flat Cat Scratcher
Some cats prefer scratching low to the ground. Our flat cat scratcher offers a horizontal sisal surface framed in solid hardwood, giving floor-loving cats a dedicated space of their own.
- 16 x 16 inch square design
- Contains generous organic catnip
- Works on carpet, tile, or hardwood floors

Our Story (From a Local Rescue Project to TopCat Products)
TopCat Products started small, building scratching posts for a local rescue organization. Once those first posts caught on with cats and owners alike, what began as a side project quickly grew into a full-time business.
Today, cat scratching posts are the only thing TopCat Products makes. Every post is manufactured at our facility in Tennessee, with no middleman involved, so you get a well-built post at a fair price, backed by decades of hands-on experience.

A Better Alternative to
Declawing
We are strongly opposed to declawing, and TopCat was founded as a humane alternative. Scratching is instinctive for cats, and a sturdy post gives them an appropriate outlet, protecting your furniture without a painful procedure.
Give Your Cat a Better Place to Scratch
A dedicated scratching post keeps your cat's claws healthy while giving your furniture a break from daily wear. Instead of fighting your cat's natural instincts, give them a spot built specifically for the job, and everyone wins.
Why Cat Owners Choose TopCat Scratching Posts
TopCat posts are built differently from what you'll find at a typical pet store, combining smart engineering with materials cats genuinely enjoy scratching. A hollow tube design keeps weight low for stability, while tightly woven sisal stays soft instead of fraying like rope. At 32 inches tall, cats get a full stretch for healthy muscle tone.
Every post is made right here in the USA, and when the sisal eventually wears down, replacement parts mean you never have to buy a whole new base. Here's what sets us apart from cheaper, mass-produced alternatives on the market today.
Built for Serious Scratching
A hollow tube and thicker base keep the weight low, so the post stays steady during heavy scratching sessions.
Cat-Friendly Woven Sisal
We use tightly woven sisal cat scratching post fabric instead of rope, so the surface stays soft and appealing scratch after scratch.
Made in the USA
Every post is built at our facility in Tennessee, with no middleman, at a fair price.
Replacement Parts Available
When the sisal wears down, order a replacement post instead of buying an entirely new base.

Trusted by Cat Experts, Rescues & Cat Owners
"The scratching post that I highly recommend is made by TopCat Products. It's sisal-covered, and the fabric is very tight and well done. The post is round so it's easy for a cat to get its paws around it and for a kitten, this makes for great climbing. Initially, you can place the post on its side and play with your kitty as he gets used to the feel of it. I think this post is the best out there. Another thing I like about the TopCat design is that it's hollow inside. This makes for an incredible sound when the kitties scratch it. I found that my kitties come running from the far ends of the house if they hear me running my nails along the sisal."

Cat Scratching Post FAQs
The questions cat owners ask us most, answered.
Why do cats need scratching posts?
Scratching is instinctive for cats. It helps them stretch, mark territory, and maintain healthy claws. A dedicated post gives them an appropriate outlet instead of your furniture.
What is the best material for a cat scratching post?
Woven sisal fabric holds up well to repeated scratching and doesn't fray into sharp fibers the way sisal rope can, making it a durable, cat-friendly choice.
Are sisal scratching posts good for cats?
Yes. Sisal's rough texture closely mimics tree bark, giving cats a satisfying surface to dig their claws into while helping shed the outer claw sheath.
How tall should a cat scratching post be?
Cats scratch best when they can fully extend their body, so a taller post, around 32 inches, lets them stretch and align their spine comfortably.
How do I stop my cat from scratching furniture?
Place a sturdy scratching post near the furniture your cat targets, and use a toy to guide them toward it rather than forcing their paws onto it.
Where should I place a cat scratching post?
Position it near where your cat already scratches or naps, in a visible, high-traffic area so it becomes part of their daily routine.
Do cats prefer vertical or horizontal scratchers?
It varies by cat. Some prefer standing to stretch vertically, while others like a flat surface, which is why many owners offer both.
When should I replace a cat scratching post?
Once the sisal wears thin or loses its texture, usually within 2 years in a single-cat home, it's time for a replacement.
