anyone else's cat has a facination of climbing straight up wooden lamp posts???

I can't figure out why my Alex is seemingly trying to scale a 5 foot wooden lamp (think asian lantern style, but very tall kind where there are 4 wooden legs and the paper is wrapped around with wire with light inside) --- and it seems like he's trying to get inside it, even though we never turn on this lamp
its polished wood so..... I don't get it

and also - he doesnt' seem to care much about catnip so the carpet = scratching post
I tried taking him to the scratching post everytime he scratches the carpet and add catnip to it
he SEES coco using the scratching post like a good girl but he wont use it,,,,,
any suggestions for getting a cat to use the scratching post properly/ X_X;;?
