Product Information

Full details

The Harbour Housewares 80cm Cat Scratching Post is designed for cat owners looking to protect their home furniture while providing their feline companions with an engaging, healthy outlet for natural scratching instincts. It offers the benefit of a full-body stretching experience and interactive play through its integrated teaser ball, though the 40 x 40cm footprint requires a dedicated corner or floor space to ensure it remains stable during high-energy play sessions.

FAQs

Is this post suitable for large cat breeds?

Yes, the 80cm height is specifically designed to accommodate the full-body stretch of larger, adult cats.

Can I replace the teaser ball if it breaks?

While the ball is included, you can easily attach a new cat-safe toy to the top of the post if the original is worn out.

Is the sisal rope safe for my cat?

Yes, natural sisal is the industry-standard material for cat scratching posts and is safe for clawing.

How do I clean the grey covering?

Use a lint roller or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove debris and loose fur.

Can this be used outdoors?

No, this product is designed for indoor use only to prevent the wood and sisal from deteriorating due to moisture.

Troubleshooting

Post feels unstable or wobbly

Check that the base screws are fully tightened and ensure the unit is on a perfectly flat floor surface.

Cat refuses to use the scratching area

Try placing the post closer to where the cat currently scratches furniture or apply a small amount of catnip to the sisal.

Teaser ball cord becomes tangled

Untangle the cord manually and ensure the ball is hanging freely at a length that is not too short or too long for your cat to reach.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes healthy claw maintenance and scratching behavior
  • Tall design supports full-body stretching for adult cats
  • Solid wooden base ensures safety and stability during use
  • Attractive, neutral grey aesthetic fits modern room decor
  • Hanging toy adds an interactive play element to keep cats engaged

Cons

  • Requires some floor space due to the 40cm base
  • Not intended for outdoor use or damp environments
  • Sisal rope will eventually need replacement after heavy long-term wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly is straightforward and typically requires securing the vertical post to the base using the provided hardware. Once assembled, place the unit on a flat, level surface to maximize stability. To ensure longevity, keep the post in a dry indoor area, as moisture can weaken the wooden base and affect the integrity of the sisal wrapping. Maintenance is simple: use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove shed hair or loose fibers from the sisal and the grey base covering. Periodically check the connection between the post and the base to ensure the screws remain tight after several months of consistent use.
