The answers you may seek for the questions you may need
Where is the ideal place that I should position my cat scratching post?
Cats scratch for various reasons, including to mark their territory, stretch their bodies after waking up from a nap, and when they get excited about something such as their owner arriving home. For these reasons, it is advised to place the scratching post either near the front door, a window area or close to your cat’s favourite sleeping spot. Consider placing several posts in the rooms used most by your cat or in prominent spots on each level of your house.
Should I use the catnip on my cat scratching post?
Most cats get instantly attracted to the catnip scent, therefore, you can rub or spray a bit of catnip onto the product before its first use to better entice your feline. However, all our sisal cats scratching posts are already catnip treated by us and specially foil sealed during the packaging process, so that all these scents are secured and ready for your cat to explore! Alternatively, by request, if your cat does not fancy catnip then we are more than happy to seal only the natural sisal rope instead.
I have more than one cat, is it than advised that I should have more than one scratching post?
One of the reasons behind cats’ scratching behaviour is to mark their territory by leaving both a visual mark and a scent on the scratched surface. This way cats communicate their ownership of certain things. Hence, ideally if you have more than one cat it is advisable to provide separate posts.
Are spare arts available for my product?
Certainly, all pre-assembled parts can be ordered separately by visiting our Spare parts page.
Are the materials used by Cosy Posts safe?
Our up-most priority is the safety of cats as well as your own. We source our materials from trusted suppliers making sure that all parts are hazard free.
Do Cosy Posts products require assembly?
We design our products using all metal fixings. Depending on the product/s ordered tools may or may not be required. Some products are designed so that no tools are required and other larger cat towers come with easy to assemble and maintain printed instructuions. If you have any doubts or questions please contact us.
How long will the scratching post last for?
It depends on your cat’s personal character – some cats are more aggressive and dig their paws into the sisal rope more frequently than others. However, the sisal rope that we source is tightly packed with minimal loose fibres, which equates it to stay intact for longer. What is more, we stretch and secure the sisal rope so tightly around the post making our cosy posts more like the ultimate posts.
