Ancol Fat Boy Cat Scratching Post

[Az]

I was looking for a new post for Cheetah and read some of the old threads here on Catsey where many of you recommend the Ancol Fat Boy, so I went out and got one today :lol:

The sisal rope seems a bit loose - what was it like for you guys? Wonder how long it will last :smt101

Looks good; don't have that one so can't comment on the rope. Has Cheetah used it yet; is she a vigorous scratcher?

That looks a nice solid post, Az ..... Cassie has an ordinary one which I've just tested with my fingers. I can't move the sisal rope at all on it so if yours is the same, I would say it was ok.

Is that the lovely Cheetah whizzing past it behind? :D She'll be perched on top of it in no time!:lol:

I have one of those, must have had it a few years now and it's still going strong. Cannt remember the rope being slack, it is a little slack now.

ive had it about a yr,the only thing is the carpet on the top now is a bit worn

my three kitties love their fat boy.. we have had it for just over a year now and its still in top notch condition. The best idea ever as we were spending a fortune on scratching posts that didn't last very long!! The rope on ours wasn't slack - and still isn't. hope Cheetah is enjoying hers!! :grin:

Dylan insists on using the fence in the garden (he's still at the old house until we get back off holiday next month by the way)

I have had two "ordinary" scratching posts for 15 years or so (can it be that long?) They have got a bit hairy and need replacing really as the carpet bits are very faded. They are still regularly used ............. but now you see I am tempted to replace them!

Thanks for the replies all. Here's a few more photos - sorry the whitebalance/colour is a bit off (forgot to set it properly!)

Good to see the lovely Cheetah again ... been a while, Az! Love that first pic! What an intent look of concentration on her face.
