PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratching Post | Available in 18” & 24” | Multiple Angle Cat Scratching Pad; 6 Usable Sides. Scratch; Play; & Perch | 100% Recyclable Cardboard Lounge

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.

Sturdy built, perfect size for our kitten, she loves the comfort of scratching, loves to fall asleep in the middle part, must be a good smell for cats to scratch, the functionality of it is great for them to reach all angles to scratch! This is our second time purchasing, the first one was the larger size for our adult cat. This time we purchased a smaller one for our kitten. Surely peony be the last purchase, cats love it!

I have 4 cats. I have 3 separate living areas in my home. All 3 have chairs and couches whose backs and arms are stringy and shredded. All 4 cats LOVE to shred furniture NO MATTER what method I use to attempt to curb their scratching. Sticky tape on furniture, scented oils, plug ins to soothe a cats needs to mark, even your grandma's flexible clear plastic from the 1970's!!!! Nothing worked even for a day. They either scratched through the plastic or tape, or went underneath and shredded the underside by dragging themselves on their backs using their claws embedded into my furniture's soft underbelly or waited for the scent to become part of their learned environment and went at the furniture again. Then one day while I was in my Crazy Cat Lady chat group,lamenting my distress at how embarrassed I was to have people over anymore, 1 lone voice in the dark suggested these little cardboard nuggets of luscious awesomeness. Pricey? Sticker shock at 1st, but she pointed out you not only rotate all 3 sides BUT you then flip them upside down (cats hit the top to get full effect of the stretch) so they really last a lot longer than you think. I have one in each room at the edge of the furniture (not attractive, I know, but better looking than shreds of fabric and bare wood with batting, i will say) and from the INSTANT I set these out, the cats stopped using the furniture! I kid you not. To prove how long they last, I purchased them in February and it is October and I am just starting to flip them upside down after having rotated all 3 sides. I have had the flat cardboard ones that you pay $6-10 for & last only 2 months so I think this is a bargain. I got up the courage after sampling these for 3 months on ratty cat shred furniture and spent money on Pottery Barn chairs and the cats have YET to touch them. My CCL friend did say to treat with catnip rubbed not sprinkled on every 3 or 4 days for the first 2 or 3 months but I forgot after a week and have probably not added catnip in 3 months now.Prior to this, I was like Pavlov's dog pre-conditioned to a sound...cat claws scratching at something caused me to yell STOP!! From wherever I was in my house and would cause our Labrador (a.k.a. thought police) to go running after offending cat. It has been a learning curve for her as well. She has had to learn kitties have appropriate scratching places. 😍

Out of all the scratchers I have gotten, including other PetFusion scratchers, this triangle shaped one has been the favorite of my four cats. Only problem is, they like it a little too much. I have a couple other scratchers in the house, but this one gets the most use.I have bought two of these scratchers now. The first one lasted maybe less than 6 months before I had to trash it. You can rotate the scratcher which helps reduce the wear on the scratcher, but once all 3 sides have been obliterated, it's pretty much useless. Also, this scratcher is pretty messy. A pile of cardboard debris will quickly pile up around the scratcher depending on how much use it gets. I vacuum it up once a week when I vacuum the rest of the house, but for any neat-freaks it may be an issue for them.$40 isn't cheap for a scratcher that may not last super long it you have multiple cats in the household, so that's why I can't give it 5-stars, but my cats definitely would!

The cardboard has held up exceptionally well. I have 2 cats that use this daily and have for months. It was well worth the extra money.
