Lean-it Scratching Post Wide 20-Inch, Colors May Vary

This is about the best and long lasting scratch pad on the market for the price. First off, it isn’t cardboard which means it lasts longer than a week. In fact, it’s a kind of carpet material which lasts a couple of years and that is having four cats using it daily. I don’t lean it and it works out better flat. When one side gets cruddy and finally starts to break down I just flip it over. This extends the use to another year or so. It is also the best priced for the amount of use. My cats love it. All of them. Lol. I have bought both the longer and the 20 inch one. I rather the shorter ,wider one to the longer, narrower one. I have bought about four of these over the years. When I had the cardboard ones, I was having to buy them over and over over weeks. I will NEVER buy another corrugated one again. Waste of money. If you have cats, this is the one for you to buy. But for some reason it is hard to find on Amazon. I had to do a lookup on my past orders to reorder it.

My cats do love these and they give them an alternative to scratching the couch. However, they do often fall over and we keep having to stand them back up. We have cats who prefer vertical scratching so that is an issue.

I have bought several of these scratching posts. They are placed flat on the floor near the entrance to every hallway and every room. My cats always go directly to these posts and scratch to leave their scent. When the sun is shining on these posts, the cats will rub them then cuddle and nap on them. Finally, they are no longer tearing up the rugs or the door frames. And my cats could not care less about the colors, so I have learned to ignore the random colors that may or may not blend in with my decor. These are a must-have for cats to safely sharpen their claws and to mark their territory. I have had these for a long time and they are still in perfect condition - claw proof!

I am so desperate to save my walls I’m trying everything to occupy my young kitten who is enjoying my walls and door frames too much. I purchased this scratching post because it is portable and thought I could take it upstairs at night for her to scratch on. She does scratch on it sometimes, but it is so lightweight and wobbly it’s not her favorite (that’s reserved for my walls). I have tried placing it flat down on the floor but she won’t scratch it in that position. To her it’s just a ladder. As of late, I have used it to block the corner of the wall to the stairs to keep her from scratching there. It works great as a blockade and so for now I’m getting my monies worth. So it’s not the best scratching post on the market, but it isn’t the worst.

The media could not be loaded.  My cats LOVE this thing. They LOVE scratching my carpet so I got this to give them something carpety to scratch. They prefer it to their other scratch tower for sure! The only thing is that ir doesn’t stand or lean, but my cats are perfectly fine with it laying on the ground— especially Sapphire (she loves laying on rectangles and squares specifically so this is a double bonus for her)

I once had this scratcher for a while when it came with a foster cat, and I'd say it is one of the best horizontal scratcher I have ever tried.I am recently pet sitting two cats (they are at my home) and after I stopped them from scratching the futon, they soon start scratch on my carpet. I noticed that although they use the vertical scratchers I have for my own cats, they do like horizontal surfaces as well so I bought this scratcher to try. And it worked! One cat immediately stopped scratching my carpet and started using it. The other is still figure it out (she is slow on pretty much everything except eating) and I still have to watch her and stop her when she scratches on the carpet. A great buy and saved my carpet! I also have horizontal cardboard scratchers that my own cats love, but i have to pick up the shredded papers after them. The carpet cover makes things much easier for me, and from my foster experience I know it will be very sturdy and last a very long time.I was not planning on leaning it against the wall or furniture so not sure how what works. I am reluctant to try it, because if it falls and falls on the cats once, they may not want to try it again. If your cat likes to scratch on vertical surfaces, I'd just get a scratch post or other vertical scratchers.

Cat never took to it!

And not just a little green but like lighter than army green. Which I don’t really care about and the cats done seem to care. But I like this because it’s not getting ripped apart and thrown around the apartment like their traditional scratching posts

My cat loves it and it is wide enough for him to lay on it. Doesn’t stand against wall well but cat prefer it on floor.

Al principio mi gatita ni cuenta se daba de su existencia. Tuve que utilizar catnip y enseñarle a usarlo; cada vez que la veía rascar el sillón inmediatamente iba y la ponía sobre el rascador y así un día le entendió. Ahora ya sabe usarlo y hasta lo muerde de las esquinas.

Bought this to stop my cat destroying the sofa, placed it over the spot that was being used as a clawing spot Cat won't go near the board but will still claw under the board on the sofa!Cat's prerogatives!Otherwise it would have been great if it was used.

本来は26インチの長さを希望していましたが、無かったので20インチにしました。15センチ近く短めですが、猫も使い勝手は良いようです。

Don't get me wrong, its a nice scratcher. But tell me, why is it that my cats don't care how nice the scratcher is, or what it's covered in to make it tempting for them to scratch, they still prefer my bed, my floorboards and anything else they're NOT supposed to scratch on. I believe these scratching boards need something potent to be sprayed on them to encourage a cat's to become addicted so they never leave the scratching post. It leans well against the wall, doesn't leave marks, stays where you put it. My cats have ruined my flat and my possessions and this was my last hope. I have dreams of where I am kneeling by the post and teaching them how to use it. Once again, nice sturdy scratching post for normal cats! Just not mine.
