Troubleshooting
Cat is not using the scratch board
Try placing catnip on the board or near it to attract your cat. Experiment with different locations, such as near their sleeping area or favorite scratching spots. Ensure the board is stable and not wobbly.
Cardboard is tearing excessively
This is a sign of heavy use. While normal wear is expected, if it's tearing too rapidly, consider reinforcing the edges or placing a second board nearby. This may indicate your cat prefers this material and might need more scratching options.
Scratch board slides on the floor
Place a non-slip mat or rug underneath the cardboard scratch board to keep it from moving during use.
