Sisal Cat Scratching Posts

1. Sisal is not a common material found throughout your house and therefore you probably don't have furniture made out of sisal or have sisal on your stairs.  Carpet on the other hand is probably on your stairs and is probably on your floor.  So as far as the cat is concerned, the carpet on your scratching post and the carpet on your stairs is the same and both fair game.  
2. Carpet is just ugly - stop using it.
3. Cat climbing trees with sisal allow cats to climb more easily, not to mention that sisal seems to last about 3 times as long as carpet.
4. Carpet scratching posts are probably one of the big reasons why people declaw cats and also one of the reasons they get rid of them - because they are taught destructive behavior.  If I could eliminate carpet scratching posts I would.
5. They are UGLY - yes, again!!

We all know that cats do love scratching and marking their own territories at the house. They do scratch to remove old sheaths from their claws and also to exercise and tone their muscles. Scratching also reduces stress, frustration and boredom. We also know that cats do love high places. So, SmartCat would like give our cats something new to experience...

TopCat Products is one a company who specializes in the production of sisal scratching posts for cats. It is a company who's main goal is to create a cat post that is sturdy enough to provide a substitute for your home furnishings and for frequent scratching.

TopCat chooses the best of the best features from other posts and then adds several and more quality-based improvements. TopCat's designs are so effective and efficient that other companies have tried to produce or copy the same designs. To prevent this, all of the company's cat scratching posts are manufactured in their facility in Tennessee, USA - love products made in the USA!

TopCat uses a hollow tube and a thicker base which concentrates more weight where it is needed - at the bottom of the scratching post. The round design is larger than the square posts which gives more surface area and distributes the activity of scratching more evenly.

• Maple grain vinyl or oak framed sisal covered 16" square base

• Lasts longer than square cat scratching pole
• Unique recessed top, a great place for cat toys
• Made to work/complement with carpet, tile or hardwood floors
• Strong metal to metal attachment system prevents "wobble"

• Similar to the felix Katnip Tree, Karate Kat or Ultimate Post but with several quality improvements
• Replacement posts available for previous TopCat Customers
• Made from the finest furniture grade materials available
• No chemicals, wood stains or paint

If you are an animal shelter, TopCat Scratching Posts will offer you a deal where you can sell them in your shelter and make a small profit for your organization, so you can buy food and what not thereafter.

The posts and the flat scratcher are made of woven sisal.  They are 32" tall, the tallest  post you will find anywhere, which gives kitties like Ragdolls Cats plenty of room to stretch out.

You can choose from a maple grain vinyl or oak framed sisal covered 16" square base.  The posts contain a generous portion of organic catnip, helps create immediate interest.  Also, the round design (as opposed to a square one) has more scratching surface than square posts.

There's also a unique recessed top, which is great for your kitty to sit on top of or a great place to put cat toys to encourage more scratching.  It is made to work on carpet, tile or hardwood floors (will not slide) and has a strong metal to metal attachment system which helps prevent "wobbling". 

You may be wondering if it is difficult to assemble - it's not and for that matter it is also easy to disassemble (no tools required). 

What's best of all?  You can order replacement posts!!
