Frisco Scratching Post/Tower - A Cat's Scratching Delight

Hello, everyone. This is Lexy checking in with our monthly Chewy.com review. Last month Mother thought she was very humorous with her choice of products. The folks at Chewy must have felt bad for me because this month they offered me the opportunity to review one of the most spectacular scratching posts I’ve ever seen… The Frisco Scratching Post/Tower! 

Cats need to scratch. What better way to deter us from the furniture and beloved belongings than to provide us with the scratching post of all scratching posts? Covered with woven sisal on all four sides of the tower, the Frisco is a whopping 33.5 inches of vertical scratching space for us to sink our nails right into!  

This is no flimsy scratching post, either. The base is double layered baseboard covered with a plush material. It provides a sturdy foundation of support so the tower doesn’t wobble at all.  Lola often likes to scratch horizontally, so the base is the purrfect surface to distract her from using Mother’s carpet. There’s also a perch on top for the cat who is not faint of heart when it comes to heights. It’s a little small for my zaftig frame, so I don’t use it. 

I admit, when I saw that there was some assembly required, I was a little worried. (After all, you saw our bookcase.)  Even Lola questioned Mother’s ability to pull this off. 

I’m happy to announce that it was simple as pie to put together! The step by step instructions were easy to follow and there were only a few screws. Trust me, if Mother can do it well, anyone can.

• Scratching post and tower in one gives kitties of all ages and sizes an appropriate place to scratch, which satisfies their natural instincts and helps keep their nails healthy.
• The double-layer baseboard gives extra stability as your kitty exercises her nails and scratches away at the post.
• This 33.5-inch vertical tower is the ideal height for stretching and provides a perch that’s high off the ground so they can keep an eye on their territory.
• Dual-textured with a 360-degree sisal covering around the post and comfy, soft plush material on the base and perch.
• Simple solution to keep cats from scratching the furniture, and easy to assemble with an instruction booklet and all the tools you’ll need.

Fully assembled the tower is 33.5 inches high; the base is 16 inches by 16 inches, and the perch is 7.25 inches by 7.25 inches. Maintenance is easy – just spot clean and vacuum up for with a small attachment when needed. That’s all there is to it!
