Customer Reviews
"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 it's paws around it and for a kitten, this makes for great climbing. Initially, you can place the post on it's 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."

FAQs
What cat owners ask before replacing a scratching post.
-
How do I know if my cat scratching post needs replacing?
Look for flattened, smooth sisal where fur and claws used to catch. If you're still unsure, check our guide on when to replace a cat scratching post.
-
Can I replace the sisal on a cat scratching post?
Yes, buy a replacement sisal for your cat scratching post. Rather than rewrapping the old post yourself, TopCat ships a pre-covered post ready to attach.
-
Are replacement cat scratching posts easy to install?

-
Can I replace just the base of a cat scratching post?

No, every replacement cat scratching post TopCat sells measures 32" tall to match the original design. It fits any TopCat base without modification.
