Basic Kitten Scratching Post With Top Perch and Two Hanging Ball Toys

Sometimes a simple scratching post is all a kitten needs. This one has a tightly wound sisal post on a square plush base, topped with a small platform with two fuzzy pom-pom balls hanging from it. It's 15.4 inches tall and weighs under 2 lb, so it's easy to move from room to room as your kitten figures out its favorite spots.

Please note: this post is sized for kittens and small adult cats. Larger cats will need a taller, heavier post to stretch out fully while scratching.

Start Good Scratching Habits Early

The sooner a kitten learns where it's allowed to scratch, the easier life is for your furniture. A small, inexpensive post like this one lets you put a scratching spot in every room your kitten uses, by the bed, next to the couch or near the litter box area. The hanging balls draw your kitten over to the post, and the sisal is right there when the urge to scratch hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it tall enough for my cat?

At 15.4 inches, it suits kittens and small cats. Adult cats usually prefer a post tall enough to stretch their full body length.

Can my cat sit on the top?

Small kittens can perch on it, but the platform is small and the post is light, so it's mainly a toy holder for older cats.

Will it tip over?

It's lightweight, so energetic cats may push it. Placing it against a wall or in a corner keeps it steadier.

Does it need assembly?

Expect simple assembly. The post screws onto the base and platform.
