x22 Inch Cactus Cat Scratching Post with Natural Sisal Rope and Dangling Ball, Green

The post your cat tried once and never touched again
What usually goes wrong
A light post tips or slides on the first serious pull. Cats do not give a wobbling scratcher a second chance, and behaviour guidance is blunt about it: if it moves when they lean on it, they go back to the sofa.
How this one answers it
The base here is weighted wood and 13 inches across, which is wide for a post only 22 inches tall. The sisal is rope rather than fabric, so it takes a hard drag without opening up, and the two posts brace each other.

22 inches, and what that suits
22 inches over a 13 inch base. That is a good working height for a kitten or a smaller adult. Scratching post guidance generally asks for at least 30 inches before a full grown cat can stretch right out, so this one is better placed as a second post than as the only one in a big cat's house.
Rope, not fabric
The posts are wrapped in sisal rope from base to arm. Rope is the coarser and harder wearing form of sisal, which is why it goes where the claws actually land, while the softer plush covers the parts a cat rubs against rather than digs into.
Something that moves
A small cactus shaped ball swings from the upper arm. A post that only stands there is a chore; a post that reacts gets used. It hangs at the height a cat reaches naturally on the way past.

Who is this perfect for?
Kittens
22 inches is a full stretch for a young cat, and the low weighted base gives it something that will not slide when it throws itself at the post.
Rooms where a post has to look like something
Shaped and coloured as a cactus, it reads as a plant rather than pet equipment, which is why it can go in the living room instead of the spare bedroom.
Frequently asked questions
How tall is it?
22 inches, on a base 13 inches across.
Is 22 inches tall enough?
For a kitten or a smaller adult, yes. Guidance on vertical scratchers usually asks for about 30 inches before a full grown cat can stretch out completely, so a large cat may want a taller post as well.
Sisal rope or sisal fabric?
Rope. It is the coarser of the two and, as vet reviewed guidance puts it, the more durable where the claws actually land.
Will it tip over?
The base is weighted wood and wide for the height. No weight capacity is published, and this is a scratching post rather than a climbing tower.
Does it need tools to assemble?
No. The manufacturer states no extra tools are required.
