is the base Sisal also? I had one, and my cats have worn it out, but it took years to do...

No. It is color-coordinated carpet. I got two of these and they are very nice. My cat attacks the post on each with zeal!

it is made of fibrous sisal and lays down or can be mounted on wall to stand up. if laid down, the little rubber feet on bottom keep it from moving.my cats lay on it as well as scratch it. great item for cats. for the price it might be worth a try for your dog. if it doesn't work, i'm sure you know someone with a cat or kitty that would love to have.

The feathers are still on the one I bought, however, I don't let my cats catch the "prey" a lot. I'm surprised it has held up as well as it has, though. I bought extra feathers just in case and haven't needed them yet. I think it depends on the play and the cats.

It definitely does. I kind of regret not getting the beige one. It's a great cat tree otherwise, though.

Yes the sisal is tight and I have a 14# cat that has tried all layers. He plays with the 3 month old kitten on it and it seems pretty stable.

My cats love this climber too much too. They use it sooo much they have thrashed one of the bottom posts too. Im considering just buying some sisca rope to staple gun around the eye sore part of it.

Hi Martha!I also have a large cat, ( Maine Coon) I used the 3/8 sisal rope & so far no problems as it's been on there for several months. I made a cat scratching post out of a 4x4 & wrapped it as tight as I could. Also, I keep my kittys front claws trimmed. maybe trimming might help you as well, ( if you're not doing that of course!) I also turn my post around from time to time, so she don't scratch in the same spot.

Go to "go pet club. com" and they have a phone number and email address to contact them. They won't take orders for replacement parts by phone, but they will very politely tell you they will email you a diagram of your tree with all the pieces labeled, and you shoot them back an email telling them which pieces you need. And the posts I needed for this tree was $10/each. I needed new posts, because the sisal was coming unwound from all the scratching my four cats do.

Yes they are on the same base. It just didn't work for me because when it rains the inside gets soaked and cats didn't want to use it.

This is pretty thin so I don't think that it would hold up to use on a cat scratcher. I replaced the sisal on my cat tree by just buying a roll of sisal at the hardware store and winding it around the post in the same way the original was. It works pretty well and is a cheap and easy fix. Hope this helps!

I run a nonprofit kitty sanctuary. I have 6 of these. When I find one the cats love I buy several. It is glued or screwed very well. They love to scratch the cardboard area. There is no way to replace the board however. But it will last a long time if you don't have dozens of kitties scratching. It is durable and for the price it is one of my favorite purchases. I have it in 5 different colors. I hope this helped. Betsy

My new kitten who is about 4 months old uses it as a scratching post often. That's the material of the posts on this cat tree. It's made for them to scratch. :)

Yes, my cat has been wearing it for years and we only take it off to replace the battery.

I have two adult cats but have not had any issues with the material wearing to the wooden frame so quickly. I would probably exchange it.

I don't know if they do or not, I have had mine for nearly a year and my two cats have not worn any part of this cat tower out, they both love it and use the scratcher post all the time. I am a customer not the seller.

sure, it sounds like the cat is walking in dry leafs (crunchy), they love it, much better than the normal (that does not sound). I hope my experience will be useful to you. Have a terrific cat-time!
