At 3 feet tall, this piece is just the right height for placing in front of a window or behind a couch where your kitty can curl up in the 14" diameter wicker basket nest. And if you kitty is in a playful mood she can attack feather critters hanging from the trunk that will sway in the slightest breeze. The 26 inch wide cross shaped base is very stable and easily positioned in tight quarters.

It has been shaped, scraped, and hand sanded smooth yet retains its natural appearance. There are interesting contours and textures for your cats scratching pleasure. And cats can really dig their claws into this scratcher. Eastern red cedar is a perfect scratching medium for cats. The creamy wood is hard enough for satisfying scratching yet not so hard as to splinter and stick in the cats paws. The red heart and knot wood is very fragrant and the reason eastern red cedar is also known as aromatic red cedar.

We think you will love this unique scratcher for its natural beauty and wonderful scent and might even think it a shame to let the cats scratch it up. But the cats will love it for being a tree and not boring textile.

Each of our red cedar scratchers is handmade by a skilled craftsman, so the photograph is representive of the specific style. Your unit will not look exactly like the one shown, but will be close to its measurements and style. Each piece is a unique work of art!

Basket style will vary, but your basket will be at least as large as the basket shown in the picture.
