Stable horizontal design keeps the scratcher firmly in place, unlike wobbly vertical options, ensuring safe and satisfying use for your cat. It includes a carrot-shaped spring with a bell to spark curiosity and help your cat release excess energy. Built to last, the durable sisal fiber resists scratching for years, unlike cheap cardboard scratchers that break down quickly. The safe sisal mat is highly durable and outlasts cardboard alternatives. Assembly is easy-simply put it together quickly with instructions. Care is simple too: spot clean with wet wipes and air dry do not immerse in water.
