Cat scratching post Trixie Maciel XXL, standing, gray, 155 cm, 2-piece carton

Trixie Maciel XXL is a standing cat scratching post with a height of 155 cm, finished in gray and delivered in two cartons. Built for large or active cats, the design combines multiple vertical scratching surfaces with elevated perches to encourage climbing, stretching and resting. The tall structure creates vertical territory inside the home, helping to protect furniture by offering dedicated areas for natural scratching behaviour.

Advantages

The Trixie Maciel XXL provides sturdy support for heavier cats thanks to its tall, reinforced construction and wide base. Multiple sisal-wrapped posts and carpeted platforms offer varied tactile surfaces that satisfy different scratching preferences. Elevated resting platforms allow cats to observe surroundings from a height while the overall footprint is designed to remain stable during active play and climbing.

Suitable for

• Large or heavy domestic cats that need robust scratching surfaces
• Active cats that enjoy climbing, jumping and elevated resting spots
• Owners who want to protect sofas, chairs and curtains from scratching
• Homes that need vertical enrichment to reduce boredom and promote exercise

When it may not be suitable

This model may be less appropriate for very small kittens due to the overall height and the need for stronger footing to access higher platforms. Also, apartments with extremely limited floor space may find the base footprint too large if only minimal furniture is possible.

Key specifications

• Height: 155 cm
• Finish colour: gray
• Construction: standing multi-level post with platforms
• Number of cartons for delivery: 2
• Surfaces: sisal-wrapped posts and carpeted platforms

How to use

Assemble the scratching post following the supplied instructions, ensuring the base and lower connections are tightened for stability. Place the unit on a flat surface away from hazards and orient it where your cat already spends time or near furniture you want to protect. Encourage initial use by rubbing catnip or placing a familiar blanket on one of the platforms. Supervise your cat during the first sessions to check stability and allow gradual access to higher perches.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure available ceiling height and room space to ensure full 155 cm fit and adequate clearance
• Check floor space to accommodate the base footprint and allow safe access around the post
• Confirm the product will be assembled indoors and that two cartons can be moved through doorways and staircases
• Consider the cat’s age and agility—very young kittens may need lower or graduated access initially

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the Trixie Maciel XXL near a window or in an area where your cat spends time. Rotate or replace worn scratching surfaces as needed to maintain interest, and periodically check fastenings for tightness to preserve stability during climbing and play.
