FOBSME Sisal Scratching Post Replacement, 45 cm x 9 cm, M8 screws

Change the worn post on your cat tree with this cat scratching post replacement, a pack of two sisal-wrapped poles that fix on with M8 screws. Each pole runs 45 cm (17.72 inches) long and measures 9 cm (3.54 inches) across, and the pack brings four M8 screws plus an Allen key, so the old post comes off and the new one goes on the same way. The brand lists it as a standard size that fits most cat trees.

The M8 thread is the check that matters

Before buying, look at the screws and threaded holes on your own cat tree or scratching post. The poles take screws of 8 mm (0.31 inch) diameter, the M8 type, and a tree built around a different thread will not accept them. The replacement suits a post that is already fixed with M8 screws.

What the two-pole pack contains

• Two sisal scratching post replacement poles, each 45 cm long and 9 cm in diameter
• Four M8 screws
• One Allen key

Turning the old post into a new one

Take the worn post off the cat tree, then join the replacement pole to the frame with the screws. Double-headed screws let you link two of the poles end to end when you want a taller post than 45 cm. Natural sisal hemp wraps each pole over a cardboard core, and the 9 cm diameter is the widened size the brand builds for a sturdier post.

What reviewers mention about these poles

Several reviewers say the pole is simple to put in place of the original one, and a few note that it runs slightly taller than the post it replaced. On the other side, some reviewers report the rope coming loose over time and describe the durability as low. Others mention that their cats go for the posts.

Do you need M8 screws for this scratching post replacement?

Yes. The poles are made for M8 screws, which have a diameter of 8 mm (0.31 inch). Four M8 screws come in the pack, so check the thread on your cat tree before you order.

How tall is each pole and can it be made taller?

Each pole is 45 cm (17.72 inches) long. Two poles joined with double-headed screws make a taller post.

What is the diameter of the replacement pole?

The diameter is 9 cm (3.54 inches) on each pole, a widened size the brand describes as giving a sturdier post.

What comes in the pack?

You get two replacement poles, four M8 screws and one Allen key.

What the 45 cm by 9 cm pole gives you

The 45 cm length matches a common post height on cat trees, and the 9 cm diameter is the widened size in this range. The sisal wrap is the surface a cat meets, and the brand supplies two poles so you can keep one aside for the next swap or join both for extra height.
