FAQs

What materials are used in the Scruffs Appalachians Cat Scratching Tree?

The tree is constructed with hard-wearing, dense, and splinter-resistant pear wood, natural sisal twine for scratching, and 'popcorn bubble' cut faux fur for cushioning and warmth.

How do I assemble the scratching tree?

Assembly is required. Please refer to the instruction manual included with the product. It is advisable to have a second person assist with assembly for stability.

Is this scratching tree suitable for kittens and senior cats?

Yes, it is suitable for most domestic cats. The extra cushioning on the sleeping surfaces can be particularly beneficial for senior cats who need joint support.

How should I clean the faux fur parts?

You can use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution for cleaning. Ensure the faux fur is completely air-dried before allowing your cat to use it again. Regular vacuuming will also help remove loose fur.

What is the primary benefit of the pear wood used?

Pear wood is chosen for its hardness, density, and splinter-resistant properties, ensuring a durable and safe scratching surface.

Can this scratching tree help save my furniture?

By providing appealing and appropriate scratching surfaces, this tree encourages cats to direct their scratching behavior away from furniture.

Where is the best place to position the scratching tree?

Place it on a stable, level surface in an area where your cat likes to spend time, preferably near a window or a resting spot, to encourage use.

Troubleshooting

Scratching tree is wobbly

Ensure all screws and connectors are tightened securely. Place the tree on a firm, level surface.

Cat is not interested in the scratching tree

Sprinkle catnip on the scratching surfaces or dangle a toy from one of the perches to encourage exploration.

Faux fur is matted or dirty

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry completely.

Sisal twine is fraying excessively

Trim any loose threads with scissors. This is a natural part of wear and tear, but significant fraying may indicate a need for replacement of the sisal-wrapped parts.
