Product Information
Full details
The Cath Kidston Cowgirl Cactus Scratching Post is designed for cat owners seeking a balance between functional pet furniture and whimsical home decor. It provides an effective outlet for a cat's natural urge to scratch and stretch, helping to preserve your upholstery while keeping your pet active. While its lightweight design makes it easy to move, the compact footprint may feel less stable for larger or highly energetic breeds that prefer heavy-duty, stationary structures.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the scratching post?
The post measures 40 x 40 x 65.5 cm, providing a stable footprint and sufficient height for most adult cats.
Can this be used outdoors?
No, this product is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture and direct sunlight can damage the sisal and decorative materials.
Is the scratching post suitable for large cat breeds?
It is suitable for most domestic cats, though larger or very heavy breeds may prefer a weighted, heavy-duty post to ensure maximum stability.
How do I clean the sisal rope?
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to lift debris. Avoid water-based cleaners as they can compromise the integrity of the sisal.
Are the tools for assembly included?
The product includes the necessary components and instructions to assemble it quickly without needing external tools.
Troubleshooting
The post feels wobbly during use.
Re-tighten the base screws and ensure the unit is placed on a level, non-slip surface like a carpet or rug.
My cat ignores the post.
Try rubbing a small amount of catnip onto the sisal rope or place the post directly next to the furniture your cat currently targets.
The feather toy has become damaged.
Regularly inspect toys for wear and tear; if detached, remove them immediately to prevent ingestion, and replace with a similar hanging toy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Lay all components out on a flat, clean surface to ensure no parts are missing.
- Attach the cactus base to the vertical post using the provided fasteners.
- Secure the decorative top or attachments following the specific steps in the instruction manual.
- Ensure all screws are tightened firmly to ensure maximum stability.
Care and Maintenance:
- Routine Inspection: Periodically check that all hardware remains tight, as vibrations from scratching can loosen connections over time.
- Cleaning: Use a dry lint roller or a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove cat hair and dander from the base and sisal rope.
- Sisal Care: Avoid getting the sisal rope wet, as moisture can cause the natural fibers to weaken or develop mildew over time.
