Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will this scratcher work for multiple cats?
Ans: Yes, the seventeen-inch scratcher accommodates multiple cats with adequate surface area for sharing. However, consider providing additional scratchers if cats show territorial behavior or preference for individual scratching surfaces during play.
Q2: How long does the catnip scent last on this scratcher?
Ans: Catnip and silver vine scent typically remains effective for several weeks to months, depending on your cat's usage intensity. Scent diminishes over time but can be refreshed by applying fresh catnip directly to the surface.
Q3: Can I use this scratcher outdoors?
Ans: This scratcher is designed for indoor use only. Outdoor exposure to moisture and elements will deteriorate corrugated cardboard, compromising the product's durability and structural integrity.
Q4: Is this scratcher safe if my cat ingests cardboard pieces?
Ans: While the scratcher is designed for scratching rather than eating, small pieces of cardboard may be ingested during normal use. Contact your veterinarian if you observe excessive ingestion or signs of digestive distress in your cat.
Q5: How can I encourage my cat to use this scratcher?
Ans: Place the scratcher in high-traffic areas where your cat spends time, near their bed, or near furniture they frequently scratch. You can also gently place their paws on the surface to demonstrate appropriate scratching behavior.
Q6: Will this scratcher protect my furniture from scratching?
Ans: This scratcher provides an attractive alternative to furniture by offering a designated scratching surface. Combined with training and redirection, it effectively reduces furniture scratching behavior in most cats.
Q7: What is the silver vine ingredient in this scratcher?
Ans: Silver vine is a botanical plant that attracts cats, similar to catnip, offering an alternative enrichment option. The combination of catnip and silver vine appeals to more cats, including those less responsive to catnip alone.
Q8: How do I know when to replace this scratcher?
Ans: Replace the scratcher when the cardboard becomes excessively compressed, splintered, or shows visible deterioration. Additionally, if your cat loses interest or the catnip scent has completely dissipated, consider a replacement for optimal engagement.
Q9: Is the catnip included with this product natural or synthetic?
Ans: The product includes a catnip and silver vine mix, though specific sourcing details regarding natural or organic ingredients are best confirmed directly with the manufacturer, Ethical Pet.
Q10: Can this scratcher be composted or recycled?
Ans: Yes, the corrugated board material is recyclable through standard cardboard recycling programs. However, remove any remaining catnip or botanical materials before recycling to ensure proper processing by facilities.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.

When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.

Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
