Product Information
Full details
The Actiaspet Convex Cat Scratcher is designed for cat owners looking to protect their home furniture while providing their feline companions with a healthy outlet for natural scratching behaviors. This eco-friendly, modular scratcher features a durable, wood-effect corrugated cardboard design that serves as both a scratching post and a comfortable lounging spot. While it is highly versatile and space-efficient, owners should note that the cardboard construction will eventually wear down over time and require replacement depending on the intensity of their cat's use.

FAQs
Can this scratcher be used by large cats?
Yes, the sturdy construction is suitable for cats of all sizes, though very large cats may appreciate using the two pieces separated for more room.
Is the material safe for my pet?
Yes, it is made from non-toxic, eco-friendly corrugated cardboard, which is safe for cats.
How long will the scratcher last?
The lifespan depends on your cat's scratching frequency and intensity, but flipping the boards helps significantly extend the utility.
Can I use this outdoors?
We recommend indoor use only, as moisture or humidity will degrade the cardboard material rapidly.
How do I clean up the cardboard bits?
The cardboard may shed small particles as it is scratched; these can be easily cleaned up with a standard household vacuum.
Troubleshooting
Cat is ignoring the scratcher
Try placing the scratcher directly in front of the furniture the cat usually scratches. You can also add catnip to the surface to attract attention.
Scratcher is sliding on hard floors
Place the unit against a wall or on a rug to provide additional friction and stability during use.
Cardboard surface is becoming frayed
This is a normal part of the wear process. Flip the segment to the fresh side or rotate the position of the boards to distribute the wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Actiaspet scratcher is straightforward; simply unpack the unit and place it on a flat, non-slip surface. If choosing to use it as two separate pieces, gently pull the interlocking sections apart. Compatibility is universal, as it is suitable for cats of all ages and sizes. To care for the product, keep it in a dry environment to prevent the cardboard from becoming soft or structurally compromised. If debris accumulates, you can lightly vacuum the area or use a dry brush to remove loose cardboard fibers. Rotate the segments periodically to ensure even wear across all surfaces.
