Inclined sisal scratching post - a favorite of kitties who love the feel of sisal rope

Not all cats like a vertical scratching post, so the incline scratcher was created! If your cat ignores a traditional vertical scratching post, this sisal scratcher may be just what they've been craving!

Why offer your cat a carpeted scratching post that will just confuse your kitty as to which surfaces in your home are meant for scratching? Cats that use carpeted cat trees won’t understand if you scold them while they scratch your carpeted floor. To them it’s all the same. Our scratching posts and cat trees have rough wood and sisal surfaces to encourage your cat's natural need to scratch without "training" your cat to scratch on inappropriate items in your home.

Does your cat prefer to scratch vertically or horizontally? We have traditional scratching posts and horizontal scratchers too!

Features:

• Dimensions:
  17” L x 8” W x 14” H
• No tip design ensures stability
• Tightly wound natural sisal - best for aggressive scratchers.  Better for their claws -- and your sofa!
• Sisal is a natural plant fiber that makes a very durable rope.
• Post is birch with the bark removed and is finely sanded, then sealed with an environmentally safe, non-toxic clear coat.
• Clear coat on the post has several advantages -
  Longer life - the wood is much less susceptible to cracking in dry conditions.
  Easier to clean - the satin finish can be wiped with a damp cloth.
  Enhanced beauty - it brings out the colors of the wood, highlighting its natural beauty.
• Rubber bumper feet for no slip on hard floors
• No exposed hardware - your kitty will thank you!
• Made using non toxic Elmers wood glue and fasteners applied from underneath so they are not visible or accessible to cats
• Base is made from rough textured pine, giving your cats the rough texture they crave
• All solid wood, absolutely no particle board or plywood.
• Wood is natural and untreated (why is this important?)
• Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:
  
  • Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots. Much of the wood is from trees downed by storms or from thinning operations to improve forest health
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
    
  • No chemical treatments, preventing harsh chemicals from leeching into the ground and water supplies.
  • Clear finish on the post (base and scratcher are unfinished) is a water-borne acrylic finish that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It has no odor and is safe for children's products as well as for pet products.
  • Absolutely no carpet - carpet is made from petrochemicals - 'nuff said!
  • Wood biodegrades - At the end of its long and useful life, wood won’t occupy any landfill space. Wood breaks down very quickly in landfills, less than 25 years. Plastics can take up to a millennium to decompose.
