Cat scratching posts will inevitably wear down after a couple of years (or even months) from constant use. Instead of throwing out the whole thing and buying a new one, you can easily revive it with some new sisal rope and make it good as new!

A worn down cat scratching post is neither fun to look at, nor do cats like it. But this a quick and easy fix that uses minimal materials and tools!

I love this idea, but I’m wary of using hot glue to fix the rope to the base - unless the heat from the glue changes the structure of the material (like with foam for example), the hold isn’t very strong in my experience. Have you experimented with other adhesives?
I just bought some sisal rope to do a repair and I agree that hot glue for me is not the ticket. I would prefer to actually tie the rope onto and then off of the stand. Hot glue alone would not be enough I doubt. Just a dab to hold in place while wrapping.
What other adhesives that might work?
Hot glue works just fine if you wrap the rope tightly enough. I have repaired several this way and they have lasted for a couple of years.
