Summary

The PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is another high-quality cat scratcher by the cat scratcher experts at PetFusion. This triangular scratching post is one of the few vertical scratching posts on the market made of high-quality corrugated cardboard.


Description / Specifications

The PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is a triangle-shaped scratcher that can be rotated on each of its sides. This vertical scratcher is made of high-quality corrugated cardboard and comes in two sizes: Standard and Large. It comes with sticky feet to prevent sliding on hard surfaces. Both sizes come with a warm gray finish.

Standard Size

Length: 18 inches

Width: 10.5 inches

Height: 16 inches

Weight: 4.2 pounds

Large Size

Length: 24 inches

Width: 10.5 inches

Height: 21 inches

Weight: 6.8 pounds

Appearance

The PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher has a unique geometric design and small footprint. It can easily fit in with just about any style of décor.

Owner-Friendliness

With no assembly required, the only thing cat-owners have to worry about is cleaning up the flakes of cardboard (if your cat is a vigorous scratcher). There are no replacement parts or pieces. The cat scratcher can be flipped on any of its three sides when one side gets worn out.

Cat-Friendliness

The PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is a great alternative to vertical sisal scratching posts. PetFusion even throws in a bag of catnip with their scratchers to further entice your cats to love their new toy. The Standard size of the PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is adequately sized for small to medium sized cats. The 18-inch long scratching surface isn’t quite long enough for average cats to fully stretch out. The Large size of the PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is a great size for all cats. The 24-inch long scratching surfaces are plenty big for even large kitties. The larger opening also allows more room for your cat to be able to scratch and lay inside.

Quality / Longevity

The PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher is made of high-quality corrugated cardboard. This heavy-duty cardboard holds up extremely well compared to other cheaper cardboard cat scratchers. But even the best quality cardboard isn’t going to last forever. That’s why we like that this product can be rotated on any of its three sides. So even though it won’t outlast our top-rated sisal cat scratcher, it should come pretty close.

Pros

  • Attractive design
  • Multiple surfaces for scratching
  • Very stable scratching post
  • Catnip included

Cons

  • Somewhat messy
  • Small size is too small for most cats
  • Only 1 color option

Price

The Standard Size PetFusion 3-Sided Vertical Cat Scratcher goes for $40 and the Large Size goes for $60. The price is in line with similar quality products. We recommend going for the larger scratcher regardless of your cat’s size. The larger scratching surfaces and opening adds a lot more functionality and makes it a much better value than the standard size.
