3-sided cat scratching post

It took my young, indoor cat a week or two to lose her suspicion of this new item but now she LOVES it. She used every angle of it for scratching, stretching, playing and sometimes just relaxing in the middle. It has some kind of catnip soaked right in and she rubs her cheek, chin and forehead all over every surface of it. She's even made up new kitteh games to play and taught us the rules. She likes us to put her toys on top and wait for her to stalk them, hunt them and eventually kill them by knocking them down. We humans must "reset the pins" as in bowling. This Scratcher is very well-built and should last a good long time. It's more a piece of furniture! When our cat uses up the two sides that are currently facing up, we can just flip over to the bottom and she has a whole new surface to shred to bits! This is a small business, and I hope the continue to gently expand their product line. I plan to purchase another of their products soon, the curvy one, The PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge. [Superior Cardboard & Construction]. Beware of cheaper copycats' with 'unverified' reviews My cat is a long kitty, if you know what I mean and so we bought the Large size. When we first saw it out of the box, I thought I'd made a mistake but she REALLY loves the size. She can sink her front claws into the top and do a real seemingly pleasurably lumbar stretch. She'll even move side to side, like she's working her obliques! She loves her new Scratching post and Kitteh-Kat Pilates machine. She also likes to walk through the opening in the middle or toss her toys in the middle. She's going to get a few years out of this for sure. Update august 2022: as a matter of fact, she got several years out of this but so loved her other Loungers that she stopped paying attention to this one. We gave it to a Multi-cat household a couple of years ago and those kitties are giving the thing a serious workout. It's very sturdy. SO far, none of the cats have managed to strip the Triangle scratcher of all its cardboard scratching surface. when we had it, we just rotated the surface every few months so no one side took a beating. In the time we have had this product, we have bought 4 more of the large loungers as gifts for other households with multiple cats and those cats use the long, larger lounger as what I call a "Double-Decker Nap Mo-Sheen" LOL. Those cats enjoy sleeping on it as if it were a bunk bed. One household still has the original 2 I bought and the other households still have their originals too. If there is any downside, and this isn't much of one - it is the fact that you may need to sweep a little more often or use a handheld duster-buster type vacuum every two or 3 days to suck up all the itty bitty pieces of cardboard the cats make from digging their claws deep into the surface. when one side gets a good workout, we flip it over and let the cat have at the other side. Our cat doesn't care to sleep or scratch in the underneath of the big lounger and so we store old newspapers there for a week until recycling time comes around. In the other households with more than one cat, the cats love the underside of the "bunk" for sleeping. So just keep the scratching bits up off the floor and you'll be a happy cat parent cuz it helps prevent them from scratching furniture legs, couches and so forth. Although we don't have to do it very often, we occasionally "recharge" all 3 of these scratcher products by rubbing a little fresh, organic catnip into the surface. It helps keep the cat interested in the scratcher/lounger and we can sometimes rub it in an area she hasn't been paying equal attention to with her claws. This will usually encourage her to have at the unused area with her sharp claws and help dull them. These are wonderful products from a wonderful company. The scratchers are long-lasting pieces of furniture. we only ever had one wear out and we sawed it in half and placed the half pieces elsewhere in the house where our cat found them and loved the easy access to a new scratching surface. She's a tall cat and a long cat, so maybe she just didn't feel like squeezing under there to rip up the interior. we just used a hacksaw and it created a whole new toy for her. we love these things. It makes the perfect gift for a home with a new kitten or a loved one who has a cat who is bored with their current playthings.

My cats love their Pet Fusion scratcher shaped like an infinity symbol, but still scratched at the tall bar chairs and couch. I decided to add this vertical scratcher to my home in hopes that they'll stretch/scratch at this instead of the furniture. PROS: Both cats took to this immediately without coaxing Attractive design Durable Doubles for play time (Kitties were jumping through the hole) CONS: Slides on hardwood floors, even with the rubber stickers they give you for the bottom (I just got a cheap rubber mat for underneath) Wish this came in the dark brown color like my other Pet Fusion scratcher [SEE UPDATE BELOW] Size is okay, but would love for it to be even taller so my cats get a full stretch [SEE UPDATE BELOW] My cats still scratch at the furniture, but much less so. I think my cats would stop completely if Pet Fusion made one of those standard tall scratching posts in this material. UPDATE 08/24/2016: I'm updating my review from 4 to 5 stars. Pet Fusion now makes this in a larger version, and in a darker brown. It's great to have options!! I have the taller one and bought a replacement for this smaller one so that my two kitties can alternate as they please. These really do last a very long time. Originally I was annoyed at them sliding a bit, but the cats actually turn that into a game. It's kind of fun to see where the scratchers end up in the morning. One cat also loves sliding a hair tie back and forth under the scratcher. (The sides of the triangle curve in a bit to allow this.) It's awesome that the scratchers double as an entertainment center.

Cats were in Egypt. Egypt has pyramids. This thing looks like a pyramid. You follow me? Bring this baby home today and not only will you unlock the mysteries of Kah Mun Rah, but you'll keep your cats off your couch too. For years the wife and I suffered in silence as our felines disembowled any couch that crossed their path. In vain was the motley assortment of scratching posts and mystical deterrent brews I brought home. At last, I had had enough, and after a night of heavy milk-drinking and copious catnip huffing I found myself face-down in the litter-box of despair. But as my wife scooped the last of my clumped up tears from our cat's indoor outhouse, I decided to give Amazon a try. That's when I found this. Like the all-seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill, I could see that all other products were not only inferior to this, but like mere pyramid building slaves in comparison. I had to have it. And I did have it. And I do have it. And so should you. The cat immediately fell head over dew-claws in love with it. With 3 sides, she can scratch one for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner. Every morning we roll a 3-sided die to see which side she'll start with. Sometimes she'll lay in the middle and close one eye. Oh yeah. We get it. It's crazy powerful. And crazy essential. Now whenever she tries to maul the couch, we just give her a little wink and she remembers...the power, the mystery, the intensity of this all-seeing scratching post. How was this thing made?! Was it UFO's? Was it some sort of alien technology? Was it demons? Perhaps we'll never know. BUT KNOW THIS: this thing works. Seriously. The cat loves it.

I bought two for my cat who admittedly isn't the worst for scratching furniture but over the years she has scratched a couch and carpets etc to sharpen those claws. She never liked the hard sisal scratching boards. I have one of these upstairs and one downstairs and she absolutely loves them! I have never seen her scratching anything else in the house since we got them. The product is very good quality and sturdy, and the cardboard feels solid and does not fall to pieces after a few weeks as you might expect. The beauty of the triangular shape also means there is always a fresh spot for her to scratch. I would highly recommend this product/brand to any cat owner

Note: Updates at the bottom of the review. This cat scratcher is quite attractive and is single-handedly saving the corner of our couch. I wedged it on the corner and the cats are satisfied to scratch it instead of trying to get through the centre hole to the couch. (The moment I remove it, though, the couch instantly recaptures their imagination.) It’s quite an attractive scratcher. I chose the largest model and it allows our cats to stretch out almost completely and then drag their claws down in a very satisfying way. They also enjoy perching on top of it for some reason, even though that can’t possibly be comfortable. I’m glad they are getting a lot of use out of it because I did find it quite expensive. FYI, this scratcher arrived in a gigantic box. I mention it for anyone going to pick it up at a post office. While not extremely heavy, you’ll probably want to grab a cart or trolley if you need to carry it more than a few feet to your vehicle. Update December 2019: We’ve now had this cat scratcher for over a year and it’s easily the best we’ve ever owned. The cats continue to use and abuse it daily, yet it’s holding up incredibly well. If it ever wears out, we’ll definitely purchase another one. Update January 2021: This is the cat scratcher that won’t die. I want to buy the cats a new one from the same brand to change things up in our decor, but I can’t justify it. This one is still in such great shape and they continue to use it regularly!

Petit, adapté aux chaton. Mon chat est un sacré de Birmanie de 2 ans et le boude car trop petit, il ne peut pas s’étendre ni rentrer dans l’alcove. Sinon produit de qualité c’est pourquoi je mets 5 étoiles. J’aurais dû mieux lire le descriptif. Déçue

El etólogo gatuno nos dijo que era mejor que los rascadores fueran verticales (teníamos un felpudo que usaba nuestro gato con gusto) así que decidimos comprar éste pensando que, al ser de cartón, quizá se gastaría pronto (en caso de que no terminara de convencer a nuestra mascota) y al tener 3 caras, podríamos usarlo más tiempo pese a ser de cartón. A mi gato le encanta, ya casi no usa el otro (alguna vez pero muy de vez en cuando) y, sorpresa para nosotros, está durando un montón. El único inconveniente es que cuando se rasca, siempre tengo que barrer trocitos pequeños de cartón pero, teniendo mascotas, ya se sabe que toca limpiar más jajaja. Además, lo tenemos cerquita de una ventana y le encanta subirse para cotillear un poco.

Prodotto veramente di ottima fattura. Robusto e grande, calcolando che ho 3 gatti di cui 1 iperattivo. Ci giocano, si fanno le unghie e ci dormono più che volentieri. Sicuramente ne comprerò un altro prossimamente. Spedizione eccellente e imballaggio curato. Consigliato
