What are the dimensions of the scratching post?

The scratching post measures 45 cm in height and has a post diameter of 8 cm.

Does the product come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware is not included, as the type required depends on your wall material. Please use hardware compatible with the 8mm inner hole diameter.

How should I clean the scratching post?

Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong detergents or excessive water.

Is this scratching post suitable for large cats?

The post is 45cm high and 8cm in diameter. While suitable for many cats, larger or more active cats might benefit from additional or larger scratching solutions.

Can this scratching post be used as a standalone item?

It can be used as a standalone item, especially in smaller spaces, but for cats with strong scratching needs, it may serve as a complementary piece to other scratching furniture.

What is the purpose of the inner hole?

The inner hole is for mounting the post to the wall.

Troubleshooting

Scratching post is wobbly after mounting.

Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened into a secure wall anchor or stud. Verify that the correct size hardware for the 8mm inner hole is being used.

Cat is not using the scratching post.

Try applying catnip to the post to attract your cat. Place the post near areas where your cat frequently scratches or sleeps. Ensure it is mounted at an accessible height.

Sisal material is fraying excessively.

Some fraying is normal. If excessive, check if the post is securely mounted and if the cat is using it appropriately. Consider trimming loose threads carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
