Unleash Natural Instincts: Cats have an innate need to scratch. With this Cat Post, you will provide the perfect outlet for this instinct. Let your cat indulge in this behaviour and encourage them to sharpen their claws, tone muscle and relieve stress.

Product Detail:
Choose from the finest South American sisal, English cotton or black softline rope. Sisal is a durable material that will last a long time and can be used inside and outside the home. We choose to keep our sisal natural, so the rope has not been through any bleaching process. As a result of this, the sisal does retain a natural odour. This odour will dissipate over time but if you would prefer an odour-free product, we would recommend either the cotton or softline option. Being a natural product, there will always be slight colour variations and imperfections in the sisal.
Cotton is a much softer material that is more suited to indoor-only cats. It is gentle on a cat's paw but isn't as durable as sisal, and should only be installed inside the home. The last option is softline, which is a material that is used in the yacht industry. It has all the appearances of sisal but is a man-made product. This rope is waterproof and does not stretch, making this an ideal option for outdoor installations.
The scratching cylinder can also be rotated or replaced once the rope has become worn. A video can be found on Catipilla's YouTube channel which will show you how to do this.
The 50cm / 20 inch, 60cm / 24 inch and 75cm / 30 inch are our standard-sized posts that are perfect for all adult cats. The 35cm / 14 inch post is our smaller-sized scratcher that is designed for kittens.
An inner core of ABS gives this unit considerable strength and longevity, even in an outdoor environment. If you want to mount the sisal variant outside where the scratching surface may become wet, we recommend installing it in an area with good air circulation. This will allow the unit to dry between showers. Otherwise, like all natural ropes, the sisal may develop mould if it remains damp for an extended period. You can apply preservatives onto the rope to deter the formation of the mould but we prefer to keep our materials natural.
The mounting caps come in three colours - Black, Grey and White. Please select whichever colour suits your home. All cap variants are suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
Additional wall fixings can be purchased if you want to be able to dynamically change the location of your scratching post around the home. Please message us if you require extra fixings.
If you want to replace your scratching cylinder, get in touch with us through Etsy and we will point you in the direction of where our replacement lengths can be purchased.
Screws will be supplied in your order, along with an installation guide. If you would prefer to see the installation process before receiving the product, a short installation video can be found by typing 'Catipilla Installation Video' into YouTube. You will find a step-by-step guide that takes you through the process of mounting this unit to the wall. Estimated installation time is 15 - 20 minutes.
