Troubleshooting

Cat is not using the scratcher

Try placing catnip on the scratcher or hanging it in a location your cat frequently visits. Ensure it's positioned near areas they might be tempted to scratch.

Scratcher seems unstable when hung

Ensure the hanging surface is secure. If using a doorknob, check that the door is not frequently slammed, which could dislodge the scratcher. Consider alternative stable hanging points.

Carpet material is fraying significantly

Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. If excessive fraying occurs, it may be time to consider a replacement, especially if it compromises the integrity of the scratcher.
