For this month’s giveaway, we’re offering the extra large 35″ vertical scratching post from Mountain Cat Trees! This super-sized scratching post is designed to handle the biggest and tallest cats out there. The base, measuring 20″ square and 4″ high, ensures that this scratcher will not tip over. The top has a space just big enough to allow for perching, as the beautiful tabby below is demonstrating.
This scratching post is made with untreated sisal rope, a natural pine base and cypress perch. The base is trimmed with natural manila rope. Rubber feet ensure no-slip on hard floors or carpet.
EXTRA CHANCE TO WIN!

Love the little perch on the top!
May 6th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Duke and Tigra would go NUTS if they had this! Tigra especially is a very active climber/scratcher.

Absolutely love this post. And my kitties will too!!
May 6th, 2012 at 11:10 pm
What a great idea making the post taller than usual! Great for those catastenics…and one and two and scratch and stretch…
May 7th, 2012 at 3:03 am
I love this. height, wood is easy to clean :}
May 7th, 2012 at 6:14 am
Definitely something I need for my very tall cat (when reaching up of course!).
May 7th, 2012 at 10:43 am
Want! My boy would love to stretch out with this.
May 7th, 2012 at 1:08 pm

May 7th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
I think my cat would place rose petals at my feet if we won this!!!
May 7th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
One of the coolest scratching posts I’ve seen.
May 7th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
You can NEVER have enough of these!
May 7th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
I have five babies who have torn up the scratching post my dad & I made about 15 years ago. They still use it even though most of the sisal rope is laying on the carpet in the living room. It’s time for a really nice scratching post for the fur children. Thanks for this opportunity!
May 7th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Wow! I need another cat for this to share the fun!
May 7th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
My cat could use a proper scratching post like this. The carpet on her homemade scratcher is falling off.
May 7th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
I think this would be the purrrfect excuse for my 18 lb. “Maximus” to get up out of the window and stop intimidating the tweety birds. Please keep the email feeds coming! Thanks for the chance to win!
May 8th, 2012 at 7:55 am
My cats could really use this! They love sisal but their scratcher is covered in carpet (well soon I’m gonna wrap the parts they ripped off the carpet with sisal if I don’t end up replacing it altogether lol)
May 8th, 2012 at 9:36 am
I’ve been looking for a taller scratcher — this would be great.
May 8th, 2012 at 9:49 am
This would be a fabulous replacement to the scratcher tree that is now falling apart. =^.^=
May 8th, 2012 at 10:07 am
Marley my Maine Coon would love to sink her claws into this scratcher!
May 8th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Looks good and sturdy!! Our cardboard scratchers are just about destroyed, so this would be a huge upgrade. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
May 8th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
This looks beautiful and great for post nap stretching!
May 8th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
This is just what my cat needs!
May 9th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
My babies would absoooo luv this.
May 9th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
My kitty would look so cute perched on top of that!
May 9th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Already a subscriber – I know my cat would love this – we have nothing like this for him but we are always hoping to have the extra money for one. Hope to win.
May 9th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
I have some long, slinky kitties, but even they would fit this scratching post!
May 9th, 2012 at 11:44 pm
So nice that it’s not carpeted! Just wood and sisal makes it functional and attractive. Ideally we would have one of these in every room.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:13 am
My cats would love to sit on top of the perch!!
May 10th, 2012 at 9:44 am
Amazing! !
May 10th, 2012 at 9:55 am
My three kitties would love this! The sturdy base looks like it could stand up to their exuberant scratching.
May 10th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Masago, Diego and Boingo say three paws up!
May 10th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
The ModernCat August give-away is a really nice design, and I love that it is eco-friendly.
May 10th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
The May scratching post looks nice and sturdy – just right for a friend who doesn’t have a decent post for his two cats. They are have shredded a chair, and he will never get them trained without some help.
May 10th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Great design!
May 11th, 2012 at 4:35 am
my 2 cats would love this great looking scratch post. it is high enough to get a good, long stretch and allow them to lazily sit on the platform to watch the birds fly by or the leave fall fromk the trees. hope we have a chance to win.
May 11th, 2012 at 8:09 am
my 2 big boys would love this, and it would possibly save my curtains – we have a couple posts but this one is so tall! think they would use it more!
May 11th, 2012 at 8:14 am
Rex would adore that scratcher.
May 11th, 2012 at 8:44 am
My Maine Coon Kitten could really use this before he destroys my bedroom.
May 11th, 2012 at 8:52 am
This is so cool looking…yay… a scratching post that is not ugly!
