XXL cat scratching post for large cats, 81 cm post, wide base, hanging ball, sisal or carpet

The XXL scratching post that protects your sofa: 81 cm for a full-length stretch

A cat scratches to keep its claws in shape, stretch and mark its territory; if it has nothing better, it will be the sofa. This 81 cm XXL scratching post lets your cat scratch standing up, at full length, and its wide base keeps it steady even when your cat hangs on to it.

Key points

• 81 cm tall: room for a full-length stretch, even for a large cat
• Two-part post: 12.5 cm wide at the bottom, 9.5 cm at the top, topped with a small platform
• Your choice of covering: woven sisal (beige or black) or carpet (green)
• 38.5 x 38.5 cm base, thick, for stability; 4.8 kg in total
• Hanging pompom ball, removable, for play

Which cat is it for?

For all indoor cats, and especially those that scratch standing up while stretching: an 81 cm post gives them all the length they need. Sisal stands up to claws for a long time; carpet, softer, appeals to cats that go for rugs.

Setting it up

1. Assemble the post on the base with the tool supplied.
2. Put it where your cat already scratches, or near where it sleeps: many cats scratch when they wake up.
3. Rub a little catnip on the post and reward your cat when it uses it.

Is it stable?
Its 38.5 cm base and 4.8 kg keep it firmly in place; buyers find it sturdy and heavy. For a very heavy cat that throws itself at it, set it against a wall.

Sisal or carpet?
Sisal stands up better to claws; one buyer likes that it doesn't get messy when the cats scratch. The green carpet is softer under the paws.

Is it tall enough for a large cat?
At 81 cm, an adult cat can stretch out at full length; one buyer would still have liked it a little taller. To climb higher, see our cat trees.

What is an XXL scratching post?
A scratching post tall and stable enough for a large cat: a post that is taller than the cat standing with its front legs stretched, on a heavy base that does not tip. Many scratching posts are no taller than 50 to 60 cm; this one reaches 81 cm on a 38.5 cm base.

Is it suitable for a Maine Coon?
A Maine Coon stretches higher than an average cat: 81 cm gives it room to scratch with its front legs fully stretched. To climb and sleep up high, see our 210 cm cat tree.

Why an 81 cm post?
Because a cat scratches stretched out at full length: the post must exceed its standing height, 60 to 70 cm for an average cat, more for a large one. Height, stability and placement: our guide cat tree: which one to choose.

How tall should a scratching post be for it to leave the sofa alone?
Taller than the cat standing up with its front legs stretched: at least 60 cm for an adult, and the surveys find less damage above 90 cm. Stable, in sisal, placed near its bed or against the scratched area. Our article on the cat that scratches the sofa.
