FAQs

Is this scratching cardboard suitable for adult cats?

This Trixie Junior Scratching Cardboard is primarily designed for kittens and young cats. Adult cats may require larger, more robust scratching posts for their size and strength.

How often should I replace the scratching cardboard?

The lifespan depends on your cat's scratching habits. For kittens, it might last several months. Inspect it regularly and replace it when the scratching surface is significantly worn down.

Can I use this outdoors?

This scratching cardboard is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture and weather elements will damage the cardboard and reduce its lifespan.

What are the dimensions of the scratching cardboard?

The dimensions are 38 x 6 x 18 cm (Length x Width x Height).

Does it come with catnip?

Yes, the Trixie Junior Scratching Cardboard comes with catnip to help attract your cat to use it.

How do I clean the scratching cardboard?

You can clean it by gently wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning chemicals, as this can damage the cardboard.

Troubleshooting

Cat is not interested in the scratching cardboard.

Ensure the catnip is fresh. Try reapplying a small amount or using a catnip spray. Place the scratcher near a window or a favorite napping spot. Introduce it playfully.

Cardboard is showing significant wear.

This is normal for cardboard scratchers. Flip the scratcher to use the other side if possible. Prepare to purchase a replacement when the surface becomes too damaged or ineffective.

Scratcher is unstable.

Ensure the scratcher is placed on a flat, even surface. For some models, you may need to ensure all parts are correctly aligned. If it consistently tips, consider securing it with a non-damaging adhesive or placing heavier items around its base.
