I had my doubts because I had had such difficulty in getting my cat Tutie to scratch anything but my sofa before I got the Purrfect Post. I started research on scratching because I moved into a new home an am going to be buying all new furniture shortly. Tutie started scratching the Purrfect Post exclusively the moment I set it into the middle of the living room in front of her favorite scratching spot on the sofa. She seems to love it and also uses it as a toy for climbing and wrestling. I now have absolutely no doubt that my future new furniture will stay safe from her claws and that I won't have to deal with the headache of clipping nails ever again! Thanks for the great product!

This is Ms Kitty who finally was able to be brought in from the ice and snow on Christmas day. She had had kittens in our back yards in May, and despite feeding her since then, she would not allow us to bring her indoors. She was introduced to your sisal scratching post mid January and uses it regularly, sometimes stretching full length to the top. We believe she was feral most of her life and seems to have to learn to play with toys, not at all like the chipmunks and mice she had been so adept at dealing with outside! It has helped to play with her around the post, probably her territory, and in introducing her to feline life in the warm, safe environment of indoors, even if it is still in our basement. You are probably aware of how difficult it is to photograph cats; this is the best we could do!

As you can see from the picture Emily loves her PurrFect Post.

Thanks for mailing a deluxe PurrFect Post all the way to the Highlands of Scotland. My cat Blossom loves it and to encourage her to use it I put some treats at the top of the post and encouraged her to climb up to get them. That's a good incentive for a hungry cat. She now loves using her new post. I must admit I have never come across a scratching post as sturdy and tall as this one. Thanks very much for all your help.

I ordered 3 of your cat posts about a month ago and my cats LOVE them! We only had one cat (and a dog) until 3 months ago when we found 4 stray kittens living at a McCoy's Lumber Yard in Austin, TX. We decided to take them home and of course we became attached to our cute kittens within a few hours and decided to keep them all! They are around 5 months right now and love your scratching posts! I've sent along three photographs of the kittens using your post that I hope you can use on your website. The first photograph shows a black and white cat sitting on top of the post who is Pickles (a girl) and the 2 boys down below are P.J. and Harry. The second photo is of P.J. sitting on top of the post with Harry down below and the last photograph is of Pickles actually using the scratching post. Our 4th kitten is named Ginger and while she also loves the scratching post she simply wasn't in the mood to be photographed the day I took these pictures! Thanks again for creating such a wonderful product! Best Wishes

We 4 would like to submit our sincere and wonderful thanks to your company for our most wonderful of scratching posts. See, Mommy got this new couch that was NOT approved for kitty scratching, and well, we didn't like our existing scratchers too well. Well, Grandma sent us a Mondo and an Angle and all 5 of us (4 kitties and Mommy) are THRILLED. We have the BEST scratching posts ever now and we all have EXCELLENT manners about only scratching our stuff now. Plus, Grandma got us some toys also, and we really like to kill Da Bird and Da Butterfly and Da Bug. Mommy says the only problem is that our claws get sharp extra fast now, so we are on a two week trimming schedule. But that's not too bad, and we are good kitties for our paw-dicures.

Our 3 cats have enjoyed their Purrfect Post for 6 years now! We have also fostered cats from a local rescue group, and often they are not scratching-post trained when they arrive. The Purrfect Post makes it easy to train them because they are drawn to it right away. Then we make sure the adopters know that the Purrfect Post is the one they should get for their home, to avoid any problems with furniture scratching right from the start. Your website is the place we always refer them to for tips on how to position the post and encourage their cat to use it exclusively. The Purrfect Post has moved with us multiple times and due to its sturdy construction was easy to take apart and put back together during our moves, but it is still as strong as the first day we got it. We think it is finally time to buy a replacement post for the Purrfect Post, and now I see you have the Mondo post, I think my cats will need one of those, too! Pictured is our 6 year old Purrfect Post, as you can see it has been much-loved. It has certainly been worth the price, it has lasted so long and provided so much fun for our cats!

I will try to take pix of my cat on the post. This post is the greatest. After a day or two of being leery, she scratched then stretched to her full length, previously impossible with short store-bought posts. Now she scratches, stretches then climbs to the top, bats off toys we put there and does it all day long. My cat loves this thing. Nice design.

Here are some pictures of our cat, Jade, enjoying her scratching post! I didn't realize how hard it would be to get good pictures! Thanks for a great product! I am a CVT and am glad that I didn't have to declaw Jade; she used her post from the very first day.

Our family recently moved in to the big city, and we left behind our cat-impervious microfiber couch and wood stump that had previously kept the cats away from the furniture. In our new, smaller, place with our new, smaller, non-microfiber couch, our cats were keeping themselves occupied by seeing which corner of the couch might give way first..... During the evening when my husband and I spend the most time with the cats, one of them would be going at the couch every five minutes or so. I ordered two purrfect scratching posts, and I haven't caught the cats scratching the couch even one time since. I'm really surprised just how effective they are - I assumed there would be simply a reduction in couch clawing, not total cessation. thanks for the peaceful evenings,

The post arrived today. I took a few pictures of my cat, Cartier, helping me unpack it.

Just wanted to say that you have a great product! The second I had the post set up, our cat, Tango, immediately began scratching at it! Since we got it, Tango has not scratched anything else. Attached is a pic of him enjoying your product.

Here are some pictures of my cat's reaction to the purrfect post. Angel liked the box. Dash liked the post.. and of course the CATNIP. My three cats use the purrfect post enough to keep their nails short. Before I got the post I had to cut my cat's nails.. not real fun!

I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with your business. It is not so common to find vendors that take such a good care of their customers’ satisfaction. We have already bought 2 Deluxe scratching posts from you, and since you are responding so well to our concerns, we are going to order a third one so that our cats will have almost one per room. Besides the problem we had lately which you have already corrected very courteously, we are pleased with your product. I should say that our two cats are extremely pleased with it!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm very pleased with my PurrFect Post! I recently adopted a cat, and getting him to use it was no problem at all. To give him a hint, I scratched it myself at the top of the post (to make "that" scratching sound) and he took to it right away. He even gives me that look of, "Are you sure I'm allowed to do this?" Attached is a picture of Zotz lounging next to his PurrFect Post. Getting an action shot has proved to be difficult. Thanks again, for a great product!

From the moment your package arrived my three cats got excited because they love boxes.Once the package was opened and unwrapped, they started scratching on the base of the post. First I assembled the purrfect post and the cats took turns scratching and climbing, then when I assembled the mondo they all took turns sitting on top of it. It's true that they can't walk past one without clawing at it!

Aslan is a Siberian Forest Cat. He is long and appears large due his three coats of fur, but weighs in at just 13 pounds. I have tried every type of scratcher, the post he had before I ordered the Mondo was at best 20 inches, and he had to lay down to use it, it didn't look comfortable for him and he certainly couldn't stretch out while using it. Now with the Mondo he is almost unsure of being able to stretch out and when he does he has that look of a little kid, "Hey Mom look at me, look at what I can do." Thank you, Gail and Aslan

My wife and I were very skeptical about this post actually doing the trick. After just 20 minutes, our cat Isabella fell in love with it and has not scratched another item in our home since! Thank you so much!

Hi! Thought you would like a picture of my two female blue-mink Tonkinese kittens, Sabrina and Samantha, using the PurrFect Post. They love their scratching post and use all the time!

Inky fell in love with her PurrFect Post the minute she saw it when she was 8 weeks old. She's a year old now and she still loves it and uses it several times eaach day. We're so pleased that we got it for her. We had new leather furniture when we adopted her and we didn't want to have her de-clawed. We're all so pleased that we bought a PurrFect Post instead - and in the year we've had Inky, we haven't had one scratch on our leather furniture - or any other furniture. We love the PurrFect Post as much as Inky does.

I received my PurFect Post Deluxe,assembled it,rubbed a little cat nip on the base,left the room to get a drink,and returned to find him already scratching like crazy! I will be ordering the PurrFect angle ASAP!Nothing makes you feel smarter than money well spent.

Hello! I received your Purrfect Post and both my kittens immediately LOVED it, even without the catnip. I wanted a sturdy post, since Murphy is a Maine Coon and will need a large post that will not tip over. This one is just what I wanted. There was no need to 'show them' what to do... The kittens immediately scratched and love to climb it. Thanks for a great product; I may get another one in the future for the upstairs! Thanks again and feel free to use the pictures of my cats on your website: the black and white one is Chaplin, the silver tabby is Murphy. Later note: The kitties are getting bigger every day, but they still love the scratching post. It is a wonderful product and both Murphy and Chaplin have never scratched on my furniture! Sincerely,

The Purrfect Post arrived today and immediately after I put it together, our cat (8-ball) started to play with it. She absolutely LOVES the sisal and has rubbed or scratched the post several times already (and it's only been here for 2 hours)!

Abby the 15 year old senior Siamese proves that you can teach an old cat new tricks! Abby started using the Purrfect Post this weekend! Your suggestion of putting it into the box with paper and the old carpeted post beside it, first upright and then on its side, did the trick! She put it altogether and I caught her scratching on the Purrfect Post on Saturday. It has happened several times now, but I am leaving the box, paper and old post on its side right there for awhile! Thanks so very much for working with Abby and me on this. She will be 15 years old on April 26th. As her episodes on the Purrfect Post get longer, I will have the opportunity to take her picture and send it to you! Abby no longer needs the box with paper and the old carpeted post on its side! I caught her leaning over the box to scratch up high with a good stretch...and away went the box and old post!!! Attached is a picture. The scenario that you see in the picture now happens with great regularity.

The Purrfect Post beats anything sold in a pet store at any price I've seen. My cats like it so much I'm ordering another. They like to perch on the top, and I have two cats, so I guess I need two posts!!

I bought your scratching post for my new kitten about a month ago. In the beginning he wasn't too sure about it. But he has started using it. It still has been difficult to get a picture of him using it. So I put one of his favorite little toy mice on the top, and he reached up to get the mouse. He has begun to just enjoy scratching on the post also. I am hoping that will keep him away from the furniture. I have attached a picture of Stone scratching on the post and reaching for his toy.

Since he is still a little guy we have left the three parts seperate and he is playing on the post and on the flat pads. You might enjoy seeing a new kitty on such a big pole.

The post is a great success, both for scratching and giving access to new heights. I have two Japanese Bobtails and two Maine Coons. The Bobs are natural athletes and have seen the top of the bookcase before but in the case of my Maine Coons, the bookcase was un-chartered territory. No more.

Thank you for the post, it arrived today. Note: Molly began using the scratching post literally two seconds after it was assembled, even before the catnip was sprinkled on it. Thanks!

Here are some pictures of our Siamese kittens, Max and Shane, using the PurrFect Post. They love it!

As you can see, Gracie is a social climber.

I had to share with you just how thrilled we are with the scratching post we ordered from you. Our 6 year old indoor only cat, Orion, has never been a destructive scratcher, so we did not have him declawed. Through the years we have spend quite a bit of money purchasing multiple scratching posts and climbing toys and he has never been interested in any of them for more than 30 seconds. We recently moved to a new home and had two brand new sofas which Orion decided to target immediately. I was very skeptical about your product, but figured that at least I could get a refund if he was not interested in it. Turns out that he LOVES the scratching post!! He uses it through out the day and we have even caught him sleeping around the base of it! He loves to lounge at the base and scratch on it constantly. He seems to have the most fun when he is lying on his side, pulling himself around and around the post--- he is hilarious to watch! He uses the post all the time....and we cannot thank you enough for designing it! In the last six years, we have NEVER seen this cat take an interest in any cat post---but this one did the trick. It sure saved our new furniture from becoming the most expensive scratching posts ever. Thank you!

This is the best post ever. I have 5 of these throughout my home and they all look as new as the first day we got them about 8 months ago. The cats love these posts and they still look untouched. The company shipped these really fast for me as well as they knew I was in a hurry for them. Great Company, Great Product!!!!

Best scratching post I have ever seen. Dolly started using it as soon as I took it out of the box, without the catnip. She is a non-stop kitten so it took a long time to get a photo of her on the post.

Dear Dr. Shelling, The attached pics are of our Burmese, Scout. He snubbed the scratching pole (His brother Mandy loves that one) but took to the incline after a week, which made the furniture happy. My wife, Pat, said you wanted a picture. Thanks for your help,

Dear PurrFect Post, I recently bought the PurrFect Post and PurrFect Angle for my newly adopted two year old beautiful calico cat! Her name is Cailyn. She came from a local animal control shelter and is a bundle of energy! I fell in love with her at first sight and nothing but the best will do for my cat, hence PurrFect Post! Attached is a picture of Cailyn truly enjoying her new post! As you can see, she really enjoys digging her claws in deep and even put a couple of scratches into the top of the post! Hey, that's OK, that's what the post is for!

Dear Dr. Schelling, This post is fabulous. As you can see my new baby is enjoying it immensely. I have been trying to get a better picture but he is so quick. I had a cat toy that looks like a mitten with various pom pom's hanging from the fingers. I placed it over the top to get him used to it and now he is always playing there. We adopted him from the Humane Society two weeks ago. He is seven months old and quite the character. I have two older cats and they don't want anything to do with him. His name is Sampson. My husband and I are both retired so I have lots of time to spend with him and keep him away from furniture. I thought I would put a notice up at my vets about the post. Do you have any pamphlets I could distribute? Thanks again, Sampson is very happy with his post.

I got my Purrfect Post this afternoon, and Lucy Lou started climbing immediately. She loves to retrieve the rope from the top. Thanks for the great product!

Just wanted to let you know that my cat loves her purrfect post. She was a stray cat that adopted us one day and lived on our front porch for several months looking at our dogs thru the front glass door. Then I asked my husband if we could bring her in but we were concerned about her scratching our furniture. I searched and searched to find the best scratching post and after reading several reviews decided on yours and have been extremely happy with it. The first day I brought her inside, I carried her over to the post and she immediately took to it and has never scratched our furniture. The first thing she does after napping is go over to the post and scratches away. I tell everyone who has a problem with their cat scratching their furniture to get the Purrfect Post. Every cat owner should have at least one. Thank You so much for keeping my furniture from being torn to shreds.

Your package arrived yesterday and Allie and Ipo enjoyed their new post as soon as their humans could set up. Here are photos of their first Purrfect Post poses. Allie and Ipo (Sweetheart in Hawaiian) also want you to know that their Purrfect post is "no kai oi" (the best!!!) and their humans will be spreading their princesses' scratching luxury to other Hawaiian feline fanciers. This is the best cat post in the universe. Aloha kakou (aloha to all) and pray for surf. Mahalo (thank you) and aloha, P.S. Mahalo too for the catnip. What a wonderful surprise.

This is my Nik. He was thrown onto I-4 at 5 weeks old. A few cars drove over him but didn't hit him. I stopped to pick him up. His chin was scraped very badly but he was okay. He has brought my family and I so much joy! This picture was taken when he was 7 weeks old. His scar can still be seen on his little chin. Your website is great! Thank you for caring about these little miracles! Nik absolutely loves his purrfect post. It's not very hard to catch him using it. He must sharpen his claws 10 times a day. No more scratching on other things. Here is a photo of him using it! Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful product.

We ordered our purrfect post a few days ago and it arrived promptly. Our cat, Dory, loves it and has taken to climbing it like a tree. I've included a picture of her in the act chasing a feather toy.

I was amazed at how Max responded to the scratching post! He had previously scratched my carpet in my apartment, but since I moved, I didn't want that to happen again so I invested in this post. And wow! I no sooner got it out of the box than he was scratching the base of it before I even put it together! He now loves to scratch the base and the post almost every time he walks by it. Thank you so much for making a post that cats automatically love and will use. It makes me happy to know that he is doing something he loves in a constructive way.

Dr. Schelling, We have Maizy, a 2-yr.-old, 15-lb. female and Max, a 10-month-old, 9-lb. male that play very aggresively and both like to scratch a lot. We've tried different things and they work for a short time, but then they lose interest and go back to their normal routine. Other posts we have bought get tipped over or are not stable enough and they don't want to use them. I can tell that there was more than just some wood and fabric behind this post, i.e. it was well thought out. I put some catnip on it, but I really didn't need to. They have taken to it and even fight over who gets to use it, with the Maizy always winning for now. They have not been scratching anything in that area except the post. To my surprise it has not even come close to tipping over even on soft carpet. Thanks for such a good product.

My cat Lady received her PurrFect Post on 5.9, the day that she turned 12 weeks old. As you can see, she love her Post. Thank you for making such a good product. Your Customer for life, Lady.

The 1st two pictures were taken within 10 minutes of putting the post together, the final one was 24hrs later and a second after I pressed the camera button she had all four legs on the post!

We adopted our 2 kittens in July 07, Ida & Jefferson are brother & sister. I thought have 2 would be great company for each other & also keep them out of trouble. Well they are great company for each other,but there cats, so they do love to scratch. I purchased scratching posts at the chain stores,but they didn't seam to like them. Then I found The Purrfect Post, & boy did they LOVE it. Ida jumped on it the second I put it together. Jefferson was a little shy as a kitten & would follow his sister's lead, when he saw that she liked it, he jump right into it which her. It is by far the best post on the market. I highly recommend it.Thanks!

I'm posting this testimonial because others' testimonials were so helpful to me in choosing this product. I bought the sisal scratching post along with the wooden angled corrugated cardboard scratcher for my little guys for Christmas. I was worried because Julius is about 22 lbs (a giant Maine Coon). The sisal scratching post is tall enough that both little Sappho and Big JJ can use it, and Sappho actually CLIMBS the thing as if it were a tree. She LOVES it. The angled scratcher isn't as wildly popular, but they use that as well. A warning! My kitties did NOT take to the scratcher right away. I rubbed it with cat nip, I put it in the middle of the room, I tried to play with them around it, putting toys on the base. NOTHIN'. I was really worried. It was a splurge for me and I wanted them to love it as much as I (as a person with a little taste - not too fond of the ugly carpeted scratchers from Petco) loved it. Well, the short story is that somehow they started to experiment with it and little by little it became their favorite thing. So, for any of you who have this situation, sit tight and relax, keep putting cat nip on it. Try putting their favorite little stuffed toys on the top of it -- especially with a little tail hanging over the side -- and soon you'll have very happy cat(s).

Our four cats love their purrfect posts! Thanks!

We are delighted to report that our two Devon Rexes (and their two tortoise shell "sisters") are enjoying their brand new Purrfect Post ... do include us in your testimonials site! Thanks again and keep up the good work!
