8. TOPKITCH Cactus Cat Scratching Post and Climbing Frame(Handmade)

If you love cacti, a cat scratching pole in the shape of a cactus plant could be a fun accessory for your home. As it has arms it could make a great climbing frame for smaller cats and would be perfect for kittens.
The scratching post is advertised as being handmade and is covered in sisal rope. The rough texture of sisal is great for sharpening claws, and as organic dye was used it’s very safe for your cat.
The cactus is extremely easy to assemble as you only have to screw it onto the base provided. The flowers add a nice touch, though I’m not sure if your cat would tear them up!
You could hang small toys from the cactus arms, including the ball and bell which comes with the pack.
 You can find this scratching post on Amazon.
