Cat scratching post ZOLUX BOREAL model 504245 — vertical sisal drapak, 95 cm, green

ZOLUX BOREAL model 504245 is a vertical cat scratching post, 95 cm tall, covered with natural sisal fibre and finished in green. Designed to satisfy a cat's instinct to scratch, the drapak provides a durable surface for claw maintenance and territorial marking while occupying a vertical space that helps save floor area. The neutral green finish blends with many interiors and the compact footprint makes it suitable for homes with limited space.

Advantages

The sisal surface offers a tough, long-lasting texture that withstands repeated scratching and helps remove loose claw sheaths. Its 95 cm height allows cats to stretch their bodies vertically, engaging muscles along the spine and shoulders. The simple vertical design has a small base for easy placement in corners or alongside furniture, and the finished colour provides a discreet look that fits common home decor.

Suitable for

• Indoor cats that need a durable scratching surface
• Cats that prefer vertical scratching and full-body stretching
• Homes where space is limited and a compact post is preferred
• Owners who want to protect furniture and carpets from claw damage

When it may not be suitable

This vertical sisal post may not suit kittens or very small cats that cannot reach the full height to stretch comfortably. It also may be less appropriate for multi-cat households where several cats compete for the same post; in that case multiple posts or larger structures are recommended.

Key specifications

• Type: vertical scratching post
• Height: 95 cm
• Surface material: sisal fibre
• Colour: green finish
• Base: compact footprint for corner or small-space placement

How to use

Place the scratching post on a stable, flat surface and position it near areas where your cat already scratches or rests. Encourage use by gently guiding your cat's paws along the sisal or by placing a small amount of catnip on the surface. Regularly inspect the sisal for excessive wear and replace the post when the material becomes frayed to the point that it no longer offers effective resistance for scratching.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the space available to ensure the 95 cm height and base fit your intended location
• Consider the age and size of your cat—very small kittens may not use a tall vertical post
• For multi-cat homes, consider buying additional posts to prevent competition

Usage recommendations

To prolong the life of the sisal and maintain your cat's interest, rotate the post occasionally, refresh with catnip if needed, and provide alternative scratching options such as horizontal pads or larger posts for varied scratching behaviour.
