I already have Emery Cat scratchers, which my cats love and use all the time. But my most recent rescue cat also likes to stretch *UP* while scratching...as in scratching the furniture. Oh no!! Definitely cannot have that. So I ordered this item and hoped its tall height would satisfy his preference for standing on his hind legs while stretching upward to scratch. It worked!
All the cats love it, and in the two days since it arrived my newest cat has completely stopped attempting to scratch the furniture. I placed this scratching post right next to the oversized chair he had been targeting, rubbed some catnip on it, and next thing I knew he was happily scratching the post, not the chair.
It actually serves double, or even triple duty. For one thing, its base also provides an area the cats like to scratch. Also, I tried laying it on its side, which created a sloping angle and the cats liked that, too. I ended up with it back in its upright position next to the chair, as that seems the best choice for my "oh I'd like to scratch that furniture!" cat. :)
It's certainly taller than other scratching posts I've seen, but I wish it were even taller. My new boy is BIG and could easily use another foot (or more) height on this post when he stretches.
Oh...the toy that came attached to it? In less than 5 minutes--as documented by photos I was taking as my cats started checking out the new scratching post--its string broke and the toy was on the floor. Oh well, I didn't buy this post for its toy, so I really don't care, but lasting more than 5 minutes would've been nice anyway.

Both of my cats love this scratching post and the attached mouse definitely entices them to play with it.Two things to note:1. The 5 lb kitten likes to body slam it and it does topple over. If your kitty likes rough play, this might not be the best fit.2. The mouse sheds like crazy. There is consistently black fuzz all over our carpet around the post and just when you think it can possibly shed more, it does. At this point, the mouse is bald.Product is great if your kitty isn't deranged and you don't mind a fur-less mouse hanging around your living room.
