Needs rubber feet on the bottom
by an Amazon.com user,
January 09, 2009
Review :
The bottom of this thing is hard plastic, so it has no resistance when placed on a hardwood floor. Seems well made, otherwise....
Cat loves it
by an Amazon.com user,

Review :
My cat loves this scratcher but the bottom isn't weighed down so it moves around on our tile floor when he's really going at it. It's a really annoying noise but a great scratcher. ...
My cat hates it
by an Amazon.com user,
December 13, 2008
Review :
3 out of 3 cats hate this post. They are no strangers to scratch posts, they've loved every option until I got this one. I've tried everything to get them to scratch it. I agree with previous reviewers: too flimsy, easily tips, the base is not wide enough. They are more interested in investigating the hollow space when it tips than actually scratching the darn thing. The rope is of good quality, though. ...

Review :
I am preparing to order my second cone post for Laci. She is an 8 lb. cat and has used her current one for 5 years and the threads are just now separating, at the top. So I think it's time for a new one.
I have read the reviews here. This cone has never tipped over and is just the right fit for Laci. She seems to love it and uses it often. A large cat might need a higher and more sturdy one. Of all the posts I have purchased for Her Highness, this is the only type she has ever...
Not for my cat
by an Amazon.com user,
October 30, 2008
Review :
My cat rarely used this scratching post. I got a different scratching post, also made of sisal but with a carpet base, put it right next to this one and he did use the new post. I ended up throwing this one away after a few months. I noticed that the rope was fraying a lot, despite him rarely using it. The base is too small and it tips over very easily, scaring the cat....
Best one if you know secret
by an Amazon.com user,
October 10, 2008
Review :
I understand the poor reviews because of a tipping over problem. However, this one works best for my cat because it is wider at the bottom. I solved the tipping over problem by placing a 4.4 lb plastic weight that goes on a barbell inside of the bottom opening. My cat weighs 15 lbs and it works great. I'm sure not everyone will have a set of weights to use but could substitute something else....
Good enough
by an Amazon.com user,
September 05, 2008
Review :
This works well for my cat. He is still a kitten, so time will tell how it will hold up to a 20 lb. mature cat! It is not as sturdy as the other one I have, but it does the job. It is better if you put it on carpet or a rug, because it can slide on bare floors. He likes to scratch the sisal part, but does not scratch the carpeted area of the post. All in all....it's ok! ...
Not for large cats
by an Amazon.com user,
August 29, 2008
Review :
I purchased the product as a replacement for an aging but well used sisal rope cone. My cat made a beeline for the post, but was quickly frustrated because the cone kept tipping over. The move from heavy cone to light plastic base was a big mistake by the manufacturer, and the resulting product has less value. I am planning to returnn the product to Amazon.com. This product is not suitable for 8lb. cats or larger....
Petmate Sisal Rope Cat Scratching Post
by an Amazon.com user,
July 30, 2008
Review :
I was surprised to find that this scratching post is made from a traffic cone. It is sturdy, but not very attractive in the home. I will buy a wood based post next time. ...
A cheaper option to other sissal rope scratching post
by an Amazon.com user,
July 23, 2008
Review :
Yes, this is a cheaper option, but one must also realize that it isn't very sturdy; my cat's claws have gotten caught a few times and he has knocked over the post in trying to detach himself from the rope. The more expensive models are sturdier, but they take up a lot of space as well, on the other hand. This is not a bad option if you're looking for something cheap and small, just be prepared to bend down and pick it up every now and then....
Cheap and effective for a small cat
by an Amazon.com user,
April 20, 2008
Review :
I have a small cat (less than 10lbs), and this post is adequate for her, but the complaints about this product are fully justified. The post will slide around when my cat scratches it because there is absolutely no weight in the base to stabilize it. A larger cat could easily pull this post over with a good tug. I still give it 3 stars because it is much more reasonably priced than most posts and the scratching surface seems to be made out of a durable material that my cat enjoys. However,...
Great Product, Great Service!

I ordered this product on a Thursday and received it on Saturday, with standard shipping! It is exactly what I ordered! My cats love it....
It doesnt take a rocket scientist
by an Amazon.com user,
January 25, 2008
Review :
I have been using this type of scratching post for years,its shape is
the best for the cat as they tend to drag down with their claws. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that you have to weight the
bottom for heavier cats..no biggy Still the best shape on the market,I have tried them all....
falls over way too easily
by an Amazon.com user,
January 21, 2008
Review :
Within minutes of bringing this home I was ready to return it. The base it too flimsy and light - so everytime the cats try to scratch it the whole thing tips over. I solved the problem temporarily by putting an 8 lb weight on the base. Hopefully Amazon will take this back so I can buy something decent!...
My kitties love this thing!
by an Amazon.com user,
December 02, 2007
Review :
I was a little sceptical about this scratching post after reading the other reviews...granted, my kittens are only 3 months old, but they do attack this thing -- both of them at once -- and it hasn't moved an inch. However, I do have this on carpeting, so I'm hoping that did the trick. It's pretty weighty in my opinion; I suppose the true test will be when the kittens are full grown. The sisal is the perfect scratching tool -- doesn't promote scratching furniture as the first poster said, and...
