FAQs
What material is the scratching post made of?
The post is primarily made of durable sisal for scratching, with a base and other elements constructed from MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and covered in plush material for comfort.
How tall is the scratching post?
The scratching post measures 33.5 inches (85 cm) in height, allowing for full stretches.
Is the scratching post stable?
Yes, it features a large, reinforced base designed for enhanced stability to prevent tipping during use.
Does it come assembled?
No, the scratching post requires assembly. An accessory kit and instructions are included in the package.
What is the purpose of the pompom?
The pompom serves as a toy to engage your cat and encourage interaction. It contains a hidden bell for added auditory stimulation.
How do I clean the scratching post?
Use a lint roller or vacuum for the sisal and plush parts. For spot cleaning on plush areas, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What are the dimensions of the base?
The base dimensions are 19.7"L x 15.8"W (50 x 40 cm).
Troubleshooting
Cat is not using the scratching post.
Encourage use by rubbing catnip on the sisal or placing favorite toys on or around it. Gently guide your cat's paws onto the post to demonstrate its purpose. Positive reinforcement with treats and praise when they do use it can be effective.
Post seems unstable.
Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened. Verify that the base is on a flat, even surface. If the instability persists, double-check assembly instructions for any missed steps.
Sisal material is fraying significantly.
Some fraying is normal as cats scratch. However, if excessive fraying occurs rapidly, check if the cat is attempting to chew the sisal rather than scratch it. Ensure the post is adequately tall for their stretching needs.
