New cat scratch post?

I'm after a new cat scratching post.
If I buy an expensive one can the rope be changed so as it looks new again (make it look like new again) anyone do this?

I like this one

But I think the P&P is a bit of a p take

& I like this one

Any thoughts?

  • They seem hugely expensive? Mine's about 4ft + tall for the price of the first :confused: idk about replacing the rope but afaik you can buy that sisal rope so yeah i'd think it could easily be replaced.

    I don't want a big one, I want one that looks unobtrusive in my living room & if it is noticed I want it to look like quite quality, IYKWIM.
  • we picked ours up really cheaply in comparison to the shops etc at our local bootsale, all brand new

    If anyone wants it. Make me an offer.

    a great website for cat towers is zooplus, i think they're in Germany but i got my tower in 2005, it arrived really quick and is still going strong and wasnt too expensive either

    Thanks but I'm really not after a big one, I'm after a small but great quality one.
