It is how cats stretch, shed old claw sheaths and leave their scent, and they will do it somewhere every day. The MATERA PET Tropical Palm Scratching Post gives them a sisal trunk that feels right under the claws, a sisal ball to bat between scratches and a soft plush base to flop on afterwards, all wrapped in a green palm look that sits nicely next to real houseplants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe MATERA PET Tropical Palm Scratching Post is a single sisal-wrapped trunk topped with faux canna leaves, standing on a round plush base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sisal trunk is about 19.7 inches tall and the base measures about 15.7 inches across.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sisal ball hangs from the trunk on a cord for batting and pawing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is made for indoor kittens and small to medium cats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe package weighs about 4.1 lb and the post assembles by hand at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe box contains one scratching post: trunk, leaf crown, hanging ball and plush base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery order ships with tracking, and returns are free for 30 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSisal where it counts\u003c\/strong\u003e -

That suits kittens and small to medium cats; a very large cat that likes a full vertical stretch may prefer a taller post as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1em;margin:16px 0 4px\"\u003eWill my cat actually use it instead of the couch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost cats scratch where they already spend time. Place the post right next to the spot they scratch now, rub a little catnip on the sisal, and praise or reward every scratch on the post. Once the habit moves, you can shift the post a little at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1em;margin:16px 0 4px\"\u003eCan my cat chew the leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are decorative.

Spot-clean the base with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1em;margin:16px 0 4px\"\u003eHow long does delivery take, and can I return it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery order ships with tracking and is usually delivered in 4–10 business days.
