I have 4 cats: 2 "Bomber" (large and long) and 2 normal. The "normal" prefer scratching post and also ordinary sisal doormat but the "huge" love their Scratching Post. Which is very stable, accessible from all sides and very popular. Every day lying on the floor of amounts abgefetzten claws, ie "work" they are very very good. Since columns buying my furniture be spared. Just a shame that previously I did not come up with the idea on it ... I've even decided on the new sofa. There is no more scratch drive. Sofa is only for sleeping. Before, I was just a cat tree had and probably the height of thin cat tree columns, the Giants failed to respond. Now the height fits. In addition, my cats use it also for stretching. One tip I have yet. If at the beginning of the column is watched only skeptical, then it is enough with catnip anspritzen or rub dry catnip on all sides. Not every cat responds to spray drug. I recommend this pillar - with a clear conscience - the owner and the Tiger.
