Cats need a scratching post that will allow them to get a full stretch. The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post has a 32" (81cm) post height which allows cats to stretch vertically while using the post (important for territorial marking purposes and for toning muscles). Fibrous and durable woven sisal naturally inspires scratching. The finest materials and workmanship guarantee this scratching post will remain attractive and useful for years. The base is designed with two pieces for extra durability.
