Works Wonderfully!
Date: December 5, 2005
"This product has been a life saver for me. My cat used to claw the furniture, shred hampers, baskets and even wood throughout the house. The sisal scratcher seems to take care of his scratching problem and I haven't had to worry since he first tried it out."

Your furniture will thank you
Date: November 28, 2005
"I cant tell you how much my 3 cats love these things. I hang them near my furniture and they go after that than the furniture. I have tried other similar items, but they dont enjoy them as much. Definite must for the cat scratching family."

Not a Hit
Date: January 15, 2009
"My cat likes the bell, but that's about it. I set it up next to the couch he has been scratching and he completely ignores it. I've tried for 2 weeks to get him to use it with no results."

Okay product
Date: April 9, 2008
"My cat loves to do her paws on things. For her birthday I decided to buy this for her. She only uses it occasionally. Oh-well, I guess you never know if your pet will like something unless you try them out."

Good Idea, But Just Doesn't Work
Date: March 7, 2008
"I have two big cats who love to scratch and when I saw this I thought it looked like a pretty good idea....wrong! I first hung it on my door and it was so long I had to tie it, then my cats tried using it and they got frustrated with it very fast because it would stay still! So we tried putting it on the floor but it still moved all over because they are so big. I'm thinking of mounting it to a piece of wood or something and then mounting the wood to the wall. I'm also going back for a real cat scratcher/condo for them next time I get paid!"

Good Scratcher When Attached to a Wall
Date: November 2, 2007
"I use this scratching post to attach directly to the wall. Just drill a couple of holes near the top and attach using couple of screws and anchors.
The kitties love it!
Doesn't work well if attached to a door handle because it moves around too much. I don't know of any cat that would like that."

Not that effective
Date: October 31, 2007
"I bought this product thinking that my cat would like the sisal and would love to stretch his claws as it hangs on the door. He has barely touched it. We have resorted to just leaving it on the ground, but even then he prefers the cardboard scratchers to this. I wouldn't bother spending money on this product when the cheaper cardboard version is more ideal for them."

Great Scratcher!
Date: October 27, 2007
"This is a great scratching post! Good quality! Flat profile allows it to sit or lay well & stable against other objects or door &/or to use as a mini stair in a cage!
My new baby kitty loves this scratching post for climbing in her play pen and clawing. I'm getting a 2nd one for other areas in the house and for my 1st older cat!

Not interested.
Date: May 24, 2007
"My cat was not interested in this at all. Very disappointing. Even with catnip on it and I even put her paws on it and did a scratching motion, but she never caught on or liked the feeling."

It's Okay but...
Date: October 24, 2006
"Its okay but my cat won’t use it when it’s on the door. I have to put it on the floor and even then it still moves around too much for her to get a good scratching out of it. Though she seems to like it enough, she still uses my couch and the carpet in my kitchen! I won’t buy this product again, in fact, on my next paycheck I’m going to buy a REAL scratching post!!!"

Great Product

"I currently have three of these at my house. My cats love them, however I lay them on the floor rather than hang them. I highly recommend this product."

Quite the door BANGER, not hanger
Date: September 7, 2006
"I bought this for my upstairs bedroom, since I didn't have room for the type of freestanding scratching posts my two cats love downstairs. Unfortunately, since it only hangs on the doorknob, it doesn't stay still when they try to scratch. The older cat ignored it after figuring this out, but the younger cat liked to go bat at it and thump it around on the door. At 3am. In my bedroom. Needless to say, this scratcher went in the TRASH."

Sisal Cat Scratcher
Date: June 5, 2006
"My cat loves it and leaves our furniture alone! We actually hook it around the legs of our furniture, so it won't move and lay it on the floor for our cat and he tears it up! He loves the catnip that comes with it, I think it initially helps him break in his new scratcher. We go through one in about 2 months, he uses it so much! It's well worth it though because it saves our furniture!"

"My cat loves this product although I had to put it on the floor. It bangs things and scares her when it's hanging. On the floor, she loves it. She goes to it first thing everytime she wakes up and scratches, and she sleeps or sits on it much of the day. It has become her "safe" space in my apartment. The only flaw I can see in it is that I've had it 8 months and she's beginning to unravel it. I am buying another, however, because she does love it."

Cat Scratcher
Date: May 8, 2006
"This product, to me, was better suited to be on the floor. It wouldn't stay still long enough for my cat to latch onto it. Also, after he had scratched it so many times, the rope unwound. I wasn't extremely satisfied with it."
