Owner-Friendliness
This wall-mounted scratching post is very easy to assemble and mount on your wall. The fact that this scratching post is wall-mounted gives owners a lot of flexibility to place it wherever they want. The post itself can be rotated or flipped if one side gets worn out. 4CLAWS also sells packs of 2 replacement scratching posts. The sisal rope is pretty much mess-free until it starts to come unraveled. Some owners have noticed a chemical smell when they first received their scratching post. But they say the smell dissipates within a day.
Cat-Friendliness
The 4CLAWS Wall Mounted Scratching Post is extremely stable when properly mounted. Stability is a very important feature for your cat. Since this scratching post can be mounted at virtually any height, you can guarantee it will be tall enough for your cat to get a good stretch on. The sisal rope is a very common scratching material that most cats take to immediately. But if your cat isn’t used to scratching at sisal, just sprinkle or spray a little catnip on this post to get their attention.
Quality / Longevity
The 4CLAWS Wall Mounted Scratching Post is made of quality materials and it is offered at a very reasonable price. The aluminum frame is sturdy and should last for several years. The scratching post is made of lower quality sisal rope that will last longer than cardboard, but not quite as long as sisal fiber. Once the rope begins to unravel, it is time to replace the post with one of the refills.
