FAQs
How do I assemble the Rosewood Cat Scratcher - Vigo?
Assembly is straightforward. Typically, you will screw the seagrass post into the pre-drilled hole on the textile base. Ensure all connections are secure before use.
What material is the post made of?
The post is made of natural seagrass, a popular and durable material for cat scratching.
Is the catnip included permanently infused?
The scratcher comes infused with catnip to attract your cat initially. The scent may fade over time, and you can re-apply fresh catnip if needed.
How large is the scratcher?
The assembled dimensions are approximately 30cm (length) x 30cm (width) x 45cm (height).
Can this scratcher withstand aggressive scratching?
It is designed with strong and sturdy construction for regular use. However, aggressive scratching from very large or persistent cats may lead to wear over time.
How should I clean the scratcher?
The textile base can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. The seagrass post does not require washing; instead, ensure it is kept dry.
Will this save my furniture?
It is designed to redirect your cat's scratching behavior to the post, which can help save your furniture, provided your cat accepts and uses the scratcher.
Troubleshooting
Cat is not interested in the scratcher
Ensure the scratcher is placed in an area your cat frequents. Try sprinkling fresh catnip on the post or using a catnip spray to re-attract your cat's attention.
Scratcher is unstable or wobbles
Verify that all assembly screws are fully tightened. Ensure the scratcher is placed on a flat, even surface.
Seagrass post is showing significant wear
This is normal for active scratchers. Consider purchasing a replacement post or a new scratcher if wear becomes excessive.
Textile base has minor dirt marks
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be simple. Typically, this involves attaching the post to the textile base, often with screws provided. Ensure all connections are tightened securely before allowing your cat to use it.
Compatibility: This scratcher is suitable for cats of all ages and sizes, though very large cats might find it less accommodating for a full stretch compared to larger models. It is compatible with standard household environments.
Care: To maintain its appeal, periodically check the seagrass post for excessive wear. If the catnip scent diminishes, you can re-infuse the post by sprinkling a small amount of fresh catnip onto it. Clean the textile base with a slightly damp cloth if needed, avoiding harsh chemicals. Ensure the scratcher is always dry.
