The most important thing of all is that it be TALL enough that she can get a good stretch in when she scratches. Petsmart sells these for $15. Tall is good. And stable. If kitty s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s out for the first time and knocks the whole thing over, he won't be too crazy about his new scratching post anymore. Has anyone tried those ones that lie on the floor; they're cardboard like the turbo- scratcher, but shaped wavy like a roller coaster track? Trying to decide if buying one will just net me a $20 decorative item that the cats won't touch. And turbo scratches are very popular around here also. Sherry |

Sherry We have 2 turbo scratchers, a couple plain ones that look like 2x4s, and one that looks like a couch. Those are all cardboard scratchers. We also have 5 cat trees. One is a simple one to the ceiling with 3 shelves. Another is fancier and goes almost to the ceiling. Two in my bedroom are about 4 feet tall with 3 levels. And another one, next to my computer, is the same height as my computer desk with one straight post and one diagonal post. That one is what keeps Quinn from walking across my keyboard all the time. She can sit next to me without being in the way. I also have two jumbo cubs that are fully carpeted, and very strong. They double as furniture since they are strong enough for humans to sit on. Jay Jay really enjoys sleeping in them, and he can defend himself if Chase tries to harass him. |

An excellent point, and in fact our kitten knocked hers over several times until I put some weights on it.
