Let me know how you get on with the Fat Boy as I might get one as well (I have the exact same fence problem as you).

I sent for the Fat Boy and received it the other day. Must admit when I opened the box I was surprised how big it actually was, but having said that it is brilliant. I have wedged the base between the wall and a chair and it doesn't move at all. Both my cats are using it and it hasn't tipped on them once! Thanks again for the info, I'm really glad I sent for it.

Well. I've had to buy a Fat Boy today because this morning one of my cats ripped the old scratching post right out of it's base. I knew how big they were as there is one in the shop I bought it from but carrying the thing and putting it in the car I realised exactly how big it is. It now dominates the room and I'm just trying to get the cats used to it.

Hope your cats have got used to the Fat Boy, my cats are using ours all the time now, it's great.

Because the rope is new they're still a little uncomfortable with it but once it's been worn in a little then furniture, carpets, fence posts, fences and legs will be safe again.

yeh I know what you mean

We have one scratching post and two kitty condo's. I need to soon replace the scratching post. For $20 it lasted about two and half years plus it's been used by four cats on a regular basics so I guess I got my money's worth. It's just sort of falling apart but in the mean time they can scratch on their condo's!
