North American Pet 26" Carpeted Cat Scratching Post Furniture

This is a great height for my bigger, full grown cats. Most scratchers are not as tall so they can't stretch and scratch at the same time. This one allows for both! Additionally, it's sturdy and doesn't get top heavy and fall over...which scares them and they won't try again. Lastly, the price is awesome so I'm going to buy 2 more because it's frequently out of stock.

The height is perfect but the product is so lightweight I had to place a 5lb weight on the base so that it wouldn't fall over on my cat when he uses it. I have an average size purebred Sphynx, his last scratcher from Petco lasted 2 years. I definitely will not purchase this brand in the future.

Bought two of these (have two cats) and they are well made for the price! My cats use them every day and the posts are holding up well! The color is the same as in the photo.

As others have noted, this is a nice TALL carpeted post, and seems to be the only one available these days. My two cats rejected the Smart Cat Ultimate sisal post I bought them a few months ago, so I got this one to replace their 12-year-old (!) worn-smooth carpeted post (which was made by North American Pets, as is the one on this page). But as others have also noted, that flat cap on the top really ruins the post. The poor cats reach up high to dig their claws into the top, but when they encounter the plastic cap, they drop back down without using the post. One cat has been tentatively scratching at the middle and the base of the post but then will move away and do a full-length scratch on a rug. So I've had to buy a runner rug for them to use, since they don't like either of their two new posts. Except for the cap, though, this post is well made, so I recommend it to people with small cats or cats who don’t seem to need a full-out stretch when they scratch. If the company makes cap-less versions, I hope Walmart will stock them. (By the way: I needed to have the post delivered to me, and Walmart sent it very quickly and in sturdy packaging. Great service! I'm going to order from them rather than Amazon when possible.)

The top is actually a plastic cover and not carpeted as shown in the photo. Not only does it prevent my cat from scratching at the top, but it looks very cheap. I ordered 5 of these, and they came in one large box, but then one post was sat on my porch as is and not wrapped. If there had been wet weather, then this would have been ruined and not able to come in my house. Very disappointed in the "wrapping" or lack of. Picture shows the plastic top as well as how the post arrived at my home.
