FAQs

How do I clean the faux fur bedding?

The removable bedding is machine washable on a gentle cycle. It is best to air dry it completely before placing it back on the tree.

What is the recommended age for cats to use this tree?

This tree is suitable for kittens and adult cats. The varied levels and scratching surfaces cater to different ages and activity levels.

Is the pear wood safe for cats to scratch and chew?

Yes, pear wood is a safe, durable, and dense wood that cats enjoy scratching. It is splinter-resistant.

What are the dimensions of the Scruffs Himalayas Cat Scratching Tree?

The dimensions are approximately 48 CM in depth, 65 CM in height, and 74 CM in width.

Does it come assembled?

No, the cat scratching tree requires assembly, but all necessary tools and instructions are provided.

Can I replace parts if they wear out?

While specific replacement parts may not be individually available, the durable construction aims for longevity. For heavily worn sisal, it can sometimes be re-wrapped.

Is this tree suitable for very large cat breeds?

The two extra-large beds offer ample space, and the sturdy construction supports most adult cats. However, extremely large breeds might find the overall footprint or perch sizes limiting for extensive stretching.

Troubleshooting

Wobbling or instability during assembly

Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Check that the base is on a level surface and that all components are correctly aligned before securing.

Cat not using the scratching areas

Rub catnip on the scratching posts. Place toys on the scratching areas to encourage interaction. Ensure the scratching surfaces are satisfying for your cat's preferences.

Pom-pom toy detaches

Reattach the pom-pom securely using a strong knot or consider removing it if your cat tends to ingest small parts.

Faux fur shedding

Initial shedding may occur. Use a lint roller or vacuum attachment to clean. Subsequent shedding should be minimal with normal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:

  • Bedding: All removable bedding and cushions are machine washable on a gentle cycle. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
  • Surfaces: For general cleaning, wipe down the pear wood and faux fur surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
