FAQs

What material is the scratching pad made of?

How does this scratching pad protect my furniture?

It provides an appealing and designated surface for your cat to scratch, redirecting their natural instincts away from your furniture.

Is the XS size suitable for all cats?

The XS size is ideal for kittens and smaller adult cats. Larger cats may prefer a larger scratching surface.

How often should I clean the scratching pad?

Regular vacuuming is recommended to keep it free of pet hair and debris. A damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning.

Can this scratching pad be used outdoors?

How does scratching benefit my cat?

Scratching helps cats remove the dead outer layer of their claws, stretches their muscles, and can serve as a stress-relieving activity.

Troubleshooting

Cat is not using the scratching pad

Sprinkle a small amount of catnip on the pad or place treats on it to encourage interaction. Ensure the pad is in a high-traffic area for your cat or near existing scratching spots.

Pad is accumulating a lot of pet hair

Vacuum the pad regularly using an upholstery attachment. A lint roller can also be effective for surface hair.

Cat is still scratching furniture

Ensure the scratching pad is placed strategically near the furniture being scratched. Consider using deterrent sprays on the furniture and reinforcing positive use of the pad.
