Sisal Cat Scratching Post with Ball Track and Hanging Pompom

This piece gives a cat two things to do in one footprint. The tall post is tightly wrapped in natural sisal rope for scratching, and a soft pompom ball hangs from the top to swat at. Below it, the oval wooden base holds a two-level ball track with four wooden balls that roll and knock as a cat paws them, plus a round platform that can double as a perch.

The whole unit stands 17.7 in (45 cm) tall, with a post height of 15 in (38 cm) and a hanging ball that drops 7.9 in (20 cm). The base is 15 x 9.8 in (38 x 25 cm), and the round platform is 5.9 in (15 cm) across. It weighs 4.76 lb (2.16 kg), so it is steady enough to stay put but still easy to carry from room to room. It arrives in a box, with clear instructions and the tools for assembly included, and it is built from solid wood.

At 17.7 in tall, it suits a smaller cat or a kitten better than a big climber. Sisal frays gradually with scratching, and a wooden ball track can get scuffed, so give it a wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth when it collects dust.
