Cat Scratching Posts Australia | Upright Scratch Posts

Cat scratching posts are one of the most practical ways to support natural scratching behaviour at home. Unlike flat scratch pads, a good scratching post gives cats a vertical surface where they can stretch, condition their claws and release energy.

At ADS Pet Store, our cat scratching posts collection focuses on upright scratching solutions for everyday use. These styles are especially useful for cats that scratch sofa arms, walls or other vertical surfaces.

Read more about cat scratching posts

A cat scratching post allows cats to reach upward and extend through the shoulders, back and legs while scratching. This vertical action often feels more natural for cats that like to stretch after sleeping.

When choosing a scratching post, look for a design that is stable enough for your cat to lean into without wobbling. Height also matters. Larger cats usually benefit from taller, sturdier posts that support a full stretch.

A scratching post is usually the better choice if your cat scratches sofa arms, walls or other upright surfaces. If your cat prefers floor-based scratching, you may also want to browse our cat scratchers collection.

FAQs – Cat Scratching Posts

Why does my cat need a scratching post?

A scratching post gives your cat a dedicated place to scratch, stretch and maintain their claws while helping protect furniture.

What height should a cat scratching post be?

A good scratching post should be tall enough for your cat to stretch comfortably. Larger cats usually need taller and sturdier posts.

Are scratching posts better than flat scratchers?

It depends on your cat’s preference. Scratching posts are ideal for vertical scratching, while flat scratchers suit cats that prefer floor-based scratching.

Where should I place a scratching post?

Place it near areas your cat already scratches, such as beside a sofa, wall or sleeping area.

VIC Refrigerated Delivery FAQs

How are frozen pet foods kept cold during delivery?

Orders are packed using insulated thermal bags and ice packs to help maintain safe temperatures during transport.

Frozen raw food deliveries are transported under chilled cold-chain conditions (0–5°C) rather than deep-freeze conditions (-18°C). Refrigerated delivery vehicles are designed to maintain stable low temperatures suitable for raw food transport, particularly during warmer weather.

Because products are delivered in chilled conditions, food may occasionally soften slightly or partially thaw, especially around the outer edges. This can sometimes cause the food to feel softer than expected or show moisture when pressure is applied.

Importantly, the product remains within safe food-grade temperature ranges throughout transport. Upon receiving your order, you can place the patties directly back into the freezer to re-freeze without any safety concerns.

Which areas in VIC are eligible for refrigerated delivery?

Refrigerated delivery is available to selected areas across Victoria. Eligibility depends on postcode.
