Overview

["The Cat Craft Bobcat Scratcher stands 41.73 inches tall, the tallest post covered here, on a wide 19.25 by 19.25 inch base. Instead of sisal, it's covered in a faux fur, carpet-style surface, and it ships with replaceable toys attached.", "At 10.8 pounds and with that wide footprint, it's built to stay stable even with a large cat leaning or stretching against it. The height gives tall or large cats plenty of room to fully extend when scratching, more than shorter kitten-sized posts allow.", 'Care calls for vacuuming and hand washing rather than a simple wipe down, and at $35.99 it sits in the middle of the price range for posts in this category. It carries a 4.4 star average from 1,100 ratings, with about 500 units bought in the past month.']
