Product Description
It is very important for a cat to have a durable scratching post. Cats need a scratching post to help them tone their muscles, to remove old nail sheaths from their claws and to help relieve stress. The Bootsie's Scratcher is made from woven sisal which is much more durable than wound sisal. This means that you will get much more use out of your scratching post.

If you hang it, once the top section gets frayed, just flip it. After both ends are frayed you might be able to use it on the floor so they can shred the middle too! I have one on a very smooth floor and the little anti slip pads offer good resistance to sliding.
If your Fluffy resists the scratcher, try using one of those little "laser light" toys. Get the cat to chase the light, then run it up/across the scratcher. Or try rubbing a bit of catnip into the rope fabric to get his/her interest. My aforementioned rescued street cat resisted. So I attached the scratcher vertically since I could not interest him with any type horizontal scratcher. Then I placed one of those little squeaky mice with a computer chip inside on top of the scratcher, on the wood ledge. I tapped the mouse a few times to make it squeak, and he jumped for it. In the process of reaching for the mouse, he dug his claws into the scratcher. Now whenever he hears the squeak, he goes to the scratcher and stretches tall and scratches. Ignores the mouse! Just cracks me up.
Far too many scratching posts on the market are simply too short to be attractive to your cat. This scratcher solves that problem since you can hang it on a wall at any height you deem appropriate. Just be sure to hang it high enough so your cat can get a real good full out stretch while scratching.
I remember a lady years ago who wanted to declaw her cat because he was scratching the back of her recliner. She said she already tried a scratching post and the cat wouldn't use it. I asked her how tall the post was; she said about 18 inches. Then I asked her how tall the back of the recliner was. For a few seconds, dead silence, then she said softly, Ohhhhhh! She bought a TALL post, and bingo! problem solved. One less cat having expensive, unnecessary surgery. One chair saved!
This scratcher can be placed on the floor and the grippy rubber feet will help it stay in place, or it can be mounted to a wall, at just the perfect height that allows the cats to stretch out fully. I've mounted mine to the wall. Once secured tightly to the wall, those same grippy rubber feet lock it in place. It's been over a year since I mounted it to the wall and I haven't even had to straighten it out - it's stayed exactly where I put it!
It doesn't shed! At least not like all of the other scratchers! I've had entire weeks go by where it's been actively used but I haven't even noticed a single fiber on the ground below it!
After 14 months, it' is beginning to show some signs of wear by looking a bit "fuzzy" in the area's that are used the most. Based on the wear pattern that I'm seeing, I can likely raise or lower the scratcher by just a few inches ... and go another 14 months before needing to adjust the position again.
This is the one to get!
Speaking from my four years with the post version and a Bengal:
The product barely shows any sign of wear after consistant daily use. Unlike your average cat tree or rope wrapped posts, this one is the real deal. It doesn't tear and doesn't shed all those annoying little rope fibers.
The post version is very sturdy, only shaking when my Bengal goes for it at full speed which no tree could prepare for without being bolted down.
This flat version has impressed me as well as it came with very nice mounting hardware but also has great feet to lay flat on the floor. I actually haven't hung mine on the wall as my now two Bengals loved it as soon as I set it on the floor near where I was going to mount it.
Both of these styles I would consider a must have!

1. The mounting screw they give you is not long enough to properly mount on the wall. You're better off using a longer screw so you can bite into the wall better. There are rubber feet which prevent the back from going flush on the wall. The rubber feet are great for keeping it sturdy on the wall once mounted and keeping the noise down when the cats are using it, but pushes the mount point further out. I don't think the manufacturer gave much thought to how the screw can work given what they provided.
2. Using a longer screw, make sure you screw it in as much as you can to get contact with the back of the scratching post and wall. Why? Because it provides a tight fit to hang it and therefore holds it against the wall better so when you're furry friends use it, it's not swinging all over the place.
3. Make sure you do a rough height measurement on the screw mount point for where it will hang. You want to give your cats some length to stretch up on the post so they can really dig into it when using it, but not too high that they can't reach it.
Only time will tell on how well this will hold up. I'm hoping longer than the ordinary sisal rope styles as the cats shred those in no time.
