Has anyone here ever tried to put new sisal on their cats' scratching posts?

I need to redo my babies posts on their perch and I am going to all sisal rope, they have shdreeded the carpeted part to pieces! They go after the carpet a lot more than they do the sisal rope.

It is interesting how cats prefer different surfaces for the scratching posts. I have carpet, faux fur, and sisal. By far the sisal is the most popular followed by the carpet. They treat the faux fur like it is contagious or shots out water

makes life easier for us...but call first to make sure they would fit...they have different bolt sizes too.

I think I will take one post apart to see what size I should/could order. I will get one and see what the price difference would be if I ordered the sisal at the store. Most of the sisal I have seen, is treated with some nasty chemical. Thanks so much for the information. I was wondering when someone would come up with a solution to the scratching post replacement problem. I hope this information helps other folks too!

Thank you all again!

I wonder if hot gluing would work? where do you find non-toxic glue?
