I actually used the heavy duty double sided sticky tape that is used in laying carpet. It works just fine and the cats don't eat it.

I went to Lowe's and bought a few rolls of sisal. Each was $7 - bought four in total. I re-did one post entirely. I need to find the anchors for both ends, but for now, the glue is drying and the ends are nailed. Once the glue dries completely, I will tack down the ends.
I am looking at the other pathetic posts in my home. Not all of them need total replacement, as the cats scratch only 1/2 way down the posts. Has anyone ever replaced just half of the sisal?
If this method works, just replacing the sisal, it will save me a ton of money. I have at least four that need quite a bit of work!

Hi Sallyanne,
I didn't see this before as I have been in Moldova. We have replaced the sisal at the scratching post one time and have the rope for the second replacement at home. I was surprised at what a great length you need but it is obvious:
if a post is 4 in wide and 20 in high, and the rope is 1/2 in thick you'll need roughly 40 circles around the post.
And each circle has a length of 2*pi*r, r being the radius of the post, that would be 2 in - that makes roughly 12.5 in per circle.
So the length of the rope needed will be 502 in that is 42 ft.
If your rope is thinner it will be more
I am sure the kitties will love their new post
