Troubleshooting

Post wobbles or tips over

Ensure the base is fully tightened to the post. Place the post on a flat, stable surface. For added security, consider placing a heavy object near the base if your cat is particularly boisterous.

Cat is not using the scratching post

Sprinkle catnip on the post to attract your cat. Gently rub your cat's paws on the post to transfer their scent. Place the post near areas your cat already scratches. Reward your cat with praise or a treat when they use the post.

Plush ball is damaged

If the plush ball becomes significantly damaged, it can be removed. The post will still function effectively as a scratching surface. Replacement balls may be available separately.

Post surface is dirty

Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturation. For stubborn marks, use a mild pet-safe cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
