Fuji Approved

My girl Fuji is obsessed. We have a small space, & this gives her something to climb on. It’s sturdy & the base is heavy so there’s no issue with tipping over (she’s 9-10lbs for reference). She acclimated to it so fast, & uses it all the time. Bonus: it’s kinda funny seeing her climb because she looks like King Kong climbing the Empire State Building.

The King Kong visual is adorable and made us smile! 😊 We're so glad it's sturdy and safe for her. Thanks for sharing your experience! ️

Instantly successful

I love it, the kitties love it especially when I rub catnip on it. It’s sturdy, nice looking and tall enough for climbing or stretching.

Abraham loves it :)

Super sturdy and looks great, plus my guy loves it. Dont think I’ll need to buy another one for a long time!

Can’t say enough...

We started with The Cove and the Really Great Cat Litter. LOVE IT! Our babies now have the Zip post and two Cloud Nine hammocks with the Floof Blanket and they love them <3 The Zip was our most recent purchase. Two of our fur babies figured out they can come from another room at a dead run and fly up the Zip it is awesome to watch them enjoy it! THANK YOU!!!

Stylish and sturdy

One cat loves it but the other seems to prefer scratching on something a little softer. It's very stylish though, and also works as a little platform for hiding treats and toys up high. It was very easy to set up, so overall I'm very happy with it.

My cats love it!

I got this for my kitties as an upgrade from their shorter one and they love it! It's made with great materials that won't fall apart and it's so tall they love to climb to the top. I do wish it came in other colorways, but other than that, my cats love this scratcher.

Cat is a big fan

The kitty cat loves the scratching post! He took to it right away. It’s very sturdy and he’s a big guy

stylish, functional and excellent quality

Sophisticatedly and thoughtfully designed, great workmanship from the Sisal quality and its unique colour to the wooden base - like the felt tips to protect floorings and enhance stability. It’s love at first sight for my cat and I

Zip Scratching Post

Firstly, this post was on back order for over a month but tuft&paw was very responsive and communicative with the shipping and delivery. Secondly, my little 3 month old kitten loves it. He really needed something to climb and scratch and was always going for the curtains and dressers, but once this post arrived, he took to it quickly. The height is definitely his favorite part. He sits at the top and looks over his terrain. He also loves to grab his toys from the top and run them down. Somehow, he managed to pull a little seam out of the top of the scratcher, but we just pulled it out so it wouldn’t pose a hazard. Overall, a great buy, and I’m so happy he can treat his morning and evening zoomies with this.

Love it!

My cats love this post! They try to climb it and scratch on it!! I like it two cats only one post but plenty of room to scratch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Zip's scratching post has an extra wide base that makes it extremely sturdy. We have received customer videos where their cats have been playing wildly and flinging their entire weight against it, but the Zip scratching post didn't budge. Additionally, there is a screw that can be tightened on the post itself to ensure maximum sturdiness.

Cats may need time to adjust to new products in the home, especially if they are unfamiliar. Here are a few tips that may help:

Place the post in a visible area where your cat already likes to scratch.
Try using catnip or treats to encourage your cat to engage with the post.
Engage in play with your cat around the post to get them used to it.
Consider placing the post near their bed or a window where they like to spend time.
Avoid putting your cat directly on the post - let them explore and use it independently.
Reward your cat with treats or praise when they show interest in the post.
Put the post next to something they already like using to make it more appealing.
Be patient! It can take weeks for a cat to show interest in a new post.

No, thanks to its wide base, we have very carefully weighted Zip to ensure that it balances and stays level during use and is safe for your cat to enjoy safely. No power tools needed!

Yes, we’ve chosen this specific woven sisal carpet for its longevity, neutral colour pairing with both the ash and walnut finishes, and it was the favourite of all of our cat testers!

Sure thing! Contact us at purr@tuftandpaw.com and we can take care of it.
