Insights from real Pet Parents
AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Kittens seem to adore this scratching post, spending hours playing with the balls and scratching away. However, some cats aren't as impressed, with the post sometimes toppling over or the sisal fraying too quickly. Despite these hiccups, many find it a great purchase for kittens due to its size and affordability. Overall, it's a hit for playful kittens, though sturdiness might be an issue for larger cats.

Lasted 4 months for 2 senior cats
The rope is low quality, was torn from the post within 3 months and I replaced it today with a different one. My cats are elderly and not very active so not from excessive wear.

Useless
Both cats will not go even near it. I’ve tried sprinkling cat nip, leaving treats around it change positions but they will it touch it. They are just not interested.
They prefer using other scratch posts

Cats love it but flawed design
Had several of these now and the cats love them but they just aren’t up to the job.. after a few months the posts come away from the flimsy mdF!

Cats loved it. So did the puppy - grr!!
My kitten and 3yr old selkirks love this! The base is heavy enough for now.
My mum's puppy also loved it. And less than 30 mins into opening it, ate the feathers off it, and will likely destroy it. Very upset :(

Great toy for kittens, and some older cats
My kitten loved this when he was 12 weeks old. Now at 8 months & 5kg it is too small for him as a scratch post but he still plays with the balls when he feels like it!
My 15 year old cat surprisingly likes the wooden ball but never used the scratch post.

Cat not interested..
Put a lot of catnip all over it and Oscar is still not interested in it at all. Never saw his play with neither the balls nor the feathery toy.

Cat not interested..
Unfortunately Oscar wasn't interested in this scratching post. He prefers horizontal ones... or the couch.
Fantastic toy
My kittens absolutely love this toy!!
Great for kittens
Cats have outgrown but kitten loved this post

Great quality and value.
I am so impressed with the quality of this scratching post/toy, especially for the price. It is very sturdy and well finished. The balls are made of wood and the base is MDF. It has been a huge success with my two kittens. They love climbing up the scratching post and sitting on the top and have had hours of fun playing with the two balls in the tracks, playing as a team or one at a time. Definitely one of their favourite toys out of dozens that they have!
Buying Another!
Our cat LOVES this post. We’d just bought her another that she wouldn’t go near but she was straight on this playing with the base and happily scratching away. We’re going to buy 1 more for another room!

super item
our cat loves these .there great as a post but also amusing fun.i waiting for stock as my neighbour wants 2 .
Great post....
Kitten and older cat both love it ... the scratching and the balls going round... and about to buy again 😻 it's a great price point so wouldn't mind paying a bit more...
Sisal could do with being more tightly wound so that 2/ 3 in. of tube doesn't show after a few goes...
And the base could do with being heavier... Not an uncommon problem so I now save bases for future use. Perfect 😍
Very good quality
The quality of the scratch post is far better than I expected. The edges of the rails are very smooth and won't hurt my kitten's paws. It is quite strong and heavy for its size. The two little balls are solid and you won't hear any noise when they are moving. I am really happy about it!
Play & scratch!
Mr Max plays with his scratch post most days! He loves it, and his latest trick is to sit on top of it! This is amazing because Mr Max is a large, heavy cat, here's the photo! Adorable!

Excellent
Got it out and 2 cats already showing interest. Quickly screwed the 2 parts together and put it on the floor. Straight away they were playing with the two balls in the base, then the feather. Both cats liked this a lot. They are 6 years old and seem to be more discerning than they were as kittens but this seemed to stimulate them immediately. The quality for the price is fantastic. I'm getting another for future use.

Doesn't work
Doesn't work for adult cats because it's too short in length and unstable.

Could easily be a hit if there was a fixed non-slip mat underneath (which, importantly, can't be seen).
All three of my cats, aged 16, 8, and the kitten, immediately started using every part of the scratching post and the balls 😊
Unfortunately, it's far from stable, makes a lot of noise when in use, and tips over very easily, which none of us are happy about 🙄
On top of that, it's made a lot of big dents in the wooden floor 🪣
So only 3 stars from me.
I think the price should be increased and that a proper non-slip rubber mat should be fitted underneath instead of those four useless little round bits 😉

Dangerous
Dangerous because the cord comes off and breaks, the toy is attached to an elastic band that can act like a tourniquet, and the feathers come off and could be swallowed!

Good idea, but..
It wobbles when my cat scratches it, and she doesn't seem interested in it.

Accessory
My cat already has a big 3-storey scratching post and 3 others besides this one, but I bought this because of the balls and so she can scratch on even more surfaces, which helps protect the furniture. For me, it doesn't tip over, it's low, but if your cat only scratches while stretching up, I wouldn't recommend it. However, my cat scratches in many different ways, so I'm satisfied with the product. She loves chasing the balls whenever she passes by. :)

Super popular! However, I had to cut off the feathers because my cat tried to eat them.

Scratching post/play toy
Very nice and easy to assemble. Unfortunately, Bloom still hasn't shown any interest in it; she prefers to scratch her claws on the sofa and play with a piece of yarn. For now, it's just serving as decoration.

Really good!
An ideal post for smaller kittens, although even a bigger one had a great time with it until he knocked it over. The balls are awesome, and the hanging toy is even better!

Cats love it
High quality, easy to assemble, and all 4 cats love it (which, unfortunately, isn’t always the case—I’ve had to give away a lot of things before because the 4 cats just weren’t interested).

Cat tree scratches and play
The quality is good, but my cat isn't very interested in it, even though she's usually very playful. However, she loves the tall scratching post.
