Not all cat scratching posts hold up the same way once you use them every day. At this price range, the right capacity and build usually matter more than marketing claims. List discounts and dips near recent lows often matter more than brand prestige.
We rank with live prices at or under the cap, Amazon demand (Best Sellers Rank) when star reviews are missing, list discount, and proximity to recent lows. We do not invent ratings. Amazon listings preferred when both stores carry a product.
