Bought this to attach inside a cat condo/kennel/cage used to acclimate my foster kitties before giving them free range in the house. Free-standing units take up too much space in the cage and the scratch boxes and mats end up in the litterbox. Easily mounted and moveable. The jute will be easy to replace when it wears out. Decent quality but a little pricey for the materials used.
I rescued a feral kitten and kept him in a kennel while he got used to being around me and was slowly introduced to my cat. I wanted to keep him happy and occupied so I got him some balls and catnip toys and this scratch post. It was easy to install and just the right size to fit in the corner of the kennel but large and sturdy enough for my kitten to pounce on and climb. He loved this scratch post so much. I never could figure out if it was real sisal rope or a synthetic substitute, but whatever it was the cat loved it. I'd recommend it for anyone whose cats need to spend time in kennels.
