FAQs

What are the dimensions of the flat scratcher?

The Urbn-Living Flat Cardboard Cat Scratcher measures approximately 4cm in height, 47cm in width, and 24cm in depth.

Does the catnip come in a separate bag?

Yes, the scratcher comes with a bag of catnip that you can apply to the scratching surface.

Can this scratcher be used by multiple cats?

Yes, it can be used by multiple cats. However, frequent use by more than one cat may lead to faster wear and tear.

How often should I replace the scratcher?

Replacement frequency depends on your cat's usage. Typically, a cardboard scratcher may need replacement every few months to a year, or when the scratching surface is significantly worn down.

Is the cardboard material safe for cats?

Yes, the cardboard is made from safe, non-toxic materials. Cats often ingest small amounts of cardboard while scratching, which is generally harmless.

Can I clean the scratcher with water?

It is best to avoid soaking the scratcher. Use a vacuum or brush for loose debris, and a slightly damp cloth for surface cleaning. Excessive moisture can damage the cardboard.

Troubleshooting

Cat is not interested in the scratcher.

Sprinkle fresh catnip on the surface or use a catnip spray. Place the scratcher in an area where your cat spends a lot of time or near their favorite resting spots. Gently rub your cat's paws on the scratcher to transfer their scent.

Scratcher is shedding a lot of cardboard.

This is normal with cardboard scratchers. Gently brush or vacuum away loose pieces. If shedding is excessive, it may indicate the scratcher is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Cat prefers scratching furniture over the scratcher.

Ensure the scratcher is in a high-traffic area for your cat. Make the furniture less appealing by using double-sided tape or covering it temporarily. Consistently redirect your cat to the scratcher whenever you see them scratching furniture.
