Finally a scratching post my cats use.  I think they use it more than others I have had because it is tall and they like to stretch.  I have it placed in front of the arm of our new sofa, and so far the post has been their first scratching choice! I like that it is relatively attractive with the nice finished wood and the sisal part is holding up well so far.  Whenever this wears out, I would make the same purchase again
