Which one should you buy?

The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post is our top pick: at 81cm it is tall enough for a full body stretch, the woven sisal is listed as durable, and the 40cm square base is listed as eliminating tipping and wobbling. It also has more than 27,000 Amazon AU ratings. For value, the ANWA 32 inch 3 in 1 sisal post gives you near identical height and three built in toys. The Kazoo Cat Scratch Post is the compact option, a small post that gives a kitten or small cat somewhere to claw that is not your sofa.
