Lord Dudley Mountcatten is an exemplary feline with very few destructive habits. When he first agreed to cohabitate with us and let the husband and I be his slaves… he did however choose one chair to sharpen the royal claws. Not wanting to have shredded upholstery, his minions shopped for an alternative.

But when… after 4 replacement items were tried and rejected … an acceptable substitute scratching post was purchased? He transferred activity there and has been happily loyal to his sisal ever since.

As you can see, His Lordship gives it a workout. Which is why he has to have one with a weighted base so it doesn’t tip over and scare him back to the chair.

His servant has repeatedly glued, tied, cut and attempted to fix the damaged areas but came to the conclusion a new post must be purchased.

Problem is, the favorite can no longer be found.

Oh! The horror!

After repeated shopping trips to every pet store in the area, Amazon was checked. And May I say… the selection was impressive. Had His Lordship wanted a palm tree …

An orange…

.

.

Or even a cactus it would have been no problem.

.

.

Though I can’t say that cat looked too thrilled.

.

.

A cherry? Sure…

.

.

A giraffe that could swallow Lord Dudley whole?

.

.

It could be his for a mere $265.

Hell, there was even a carrot.

.

.

But what there wasn’t …. was the only plain, square, weighted base scratching post he wants.

The search continues.
