Frequently Asked Questions

Will this scratching post stop my cat scratching the sofa?
It gives a much more appealing surface than upholstery. Position it near the furniture your cat usually targets and reward them for using it most cats quickly make the switch.

Is the pom-pom replaceable?
The pom-pom is securely attached as part of the design. If it becomes loose or torn, discontinue use and replace the entire post to keep play safe.

Can large cats use it safely?
Yes, the 44 cm height works well for stretching and scratching. Check your cat’s full extended height and ensure they do not pull the post over. Supervise until you’re confident in its stability.

Is the jute tough enough for aggressive scratchers?
Natural jute is extremely durable and designed to handle regular, enthusiastic clawing. Replace the post once the rope shows heavy fraying or gaps.
