My cat has destroyed the 23" scratching post. Is there replacement parts ? I would hate to have to buy another house because of that one post.

I don't have the instructions any more, but I seem to recall you can order them. Try googling the Amarkat company. Beyond that, I don't know.

You'd think they would sell replacement pads for these but I guess they want you to buy the whole new box even though all we need is a couple of extra replacement pads. Bunk. I did find replacements that fit this being sold under another brand name: Alpine Cat Scratcher Replacement 2-Pack for about the same amount as the cost of two of these - so it's a wash.

No. I think it is the same material as the outside. They can scratch and bite it a bit but I don't think it would take the place of a scratching post.

safe for whom, the cat or the skitter critter? The cat will be fine, the skitter critter on the other hand, you might have trouble finding it again. Somewhere in my house are two from the first batch and one from the second batch. Occasionally I find one that I had given up on when looking for a current one. Then we have a couple going at the same time. Currently have one in hiding again. WHERE does he put these things? Sure likes them though. I'm tempted to open up batch #3 and put another on into service. I like having more than one at a time.

If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help. Also, sticky tape on surfaces you prefer to save from little claws should work as well. The combination of the two should definitely entice your kitty to the tall, sturdy post. It also comes with catnip to help direct those dastardly toes toward appropriate scratching spots! When introducing the post, you might want to use a pinch of the catnip (included w/ post) rubbed on all sides of the post ... but not really necessary! Think your kitty is just looking for a tall place to stretch and scratch! Hope this helps! Good luck to both of you!!! If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help.

I followed every suggestion in the comments but mine still bows. I shoved washcloths and cardboard behind there which made it somewhat more stable. I trained my cat with treats to go up on it but I'm going to Craigslist mine and hope someone else has better luck with it.

My cats love this climber too much too. They use it sooo much they have thrashed one of the bottom posts too. Im considering just buying some sisca rope to staple gun around the eye sore part of it.

I'm sure there is - either on Amazon or from the manufacturer. I kind of had the same problem, but it was the kitty using it as a scratching post. I just bought a really thick shower cap at my local dollar store and it worked fine. Saved me some money.

The Smart Cat Box website: www.smartcatbox.com should have what you need. I have that item and I haven't had to replace anything yet, but that is where I would check. Hope this helps!

The wands no problem, my cats have abused it with no breakage. What needs to be a replacement part or better yet an aftermarket part is the yellow polyester/nylon cover. My cats tore the hem off and now it bunches up and won't lay flat. It don't do it's job to good no more! Somebody, there's a market here, the covers wear out the toy still works!

The perches are made out of pressboard and the posts - hard cardboard. My cats have torn open one section of one post where they scratch a lot. If I purchased a staple gun I think I could fix it. My fat 17 lb. cat loves it and lounges on the perches which are 17" by 10 1/2" with a post up through it. With enough clearance away from the wall she lounges along the wider end of the perch and along the back side behind the post. I find everything sturdy for climbing. The perches do not bend nor are they unstable. The covering is a fuzzy carpet like material. All the cats scratch on it but only one cat LOVES climbing and playing and being up high on it.

your best bet is to contact casa Essentials directly, they will send you an e-mail with their parts list and prices. Personally I don't think that buying replacement parts is worth it.

My cats use a variety of scratching posts...sisal, carpet and cardboard. They really like the cardboard - I have to replace it every two months. These I have scattered around the house on the floors. THey also very much like the sisal rug I have by the back door. It doesn't seem to be hurting the rug, and its just a little one. Also, maybe try putting some catnip on the scratcher if you haven't already, or put a couple of treats at the base so they get used to hanging around it.
