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.

Good quality, but hanging instructions/materials lacking
We have three cats and have owned a SmartyCat free standing scratcher for the last 5 years. It stood the test of time, but it’s heavy and takes up a lot of floor space. We decided to try the wall-mounted version.We tried to hang the scratcher today and were disappointed to find that the anchor and screw provided are *not* deep enough to secure it to the wall. The rubber bumpers provided (see photo) are 1/2” deep, but the screw is just 1” deep. To mount the scratcher, the screw has to stick out of the anchor by half an inch, which is not secure. In fact, it’s so wobbly that the screw starts to rip its own anchor out of the wall (even before the cats touched it). We started over, removed the bumpers provided and replaced them with 1/4” adhesive felt bumpers, which work perfectly.As far as quality goes, I have no worries as we’ve used the brand before. There’s a tiny bit of sisal loose midway down, but it’s not noticeable. I’ll update the review of our experience with the hanging scratcher is different than the free standing scratcher.As far as usage goes, one of my cats tried to use the scratcher before we’d even hung it. The other two found it today, after we hung it and applied a little fresh catnip ;)
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cat's Meow of Scratching Posts
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2020
I purchased the post version of this product four years ago and it has been worth every penny (or Temptations if you ask my cats), so I got this style for another spot in my house that has less space.

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!

Photos: 4 year old post and two month old flat style (and 7 month old Bengal)

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice floor space saver but here's some mounting tips...
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2016
This is a decent scratching post that does not take up a lot of floor space when you mount it on the wall. Wall mounting tips...

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.

Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2019
We’ve had several types. This lasted over 2 years with one cat but that’s 2 years of heavy use bcs she loves it. We got it bcs she used to scratch our sisal rope wrapped storage trunk but this kept her away from it ever since! The pics are the old scratcher, showing how hard she uses it and how well it held up since she likes to really pull and stretch while scratching. Other styles would lift it off the floor a little then thump back down. The weight and solid rubber feet keep that from happening. It’s cheaper now too, we paid almost $60 originally but it was worth it.
