Frequently Asked Questions

Does the cardboard really last?

It's multi layered corrugated cardboard rated for months of daily scratching. The curved bowl shape spreads the wear so no single spot collapses too fast.

What's the rolling bell ball?

A small ball that lives in the outer track of the bowl. When your cat bats it, it rolls and rings, extra play built into the same piece. No batteries, never needs charging.

Does it include catnip?

Yes, a catnip packet is included for the first introduction. Sprinkle a pinch on the cardboard to draw your cat in the first day or two.

Does it fold flat?

Yes. Folds flat in about 3 seconds and slides under a couch or a bed when you don't want it out. Pops back into the bowl shape just as fast.

Notes

Materials. Scratch surfaces are natural sisal, corrugated cardboard or ribbed fabric on wood, board or metal frames, depending on the piece. The exact materials for this one are listed in the description above.

Care. Brush or vacuum away loose fibers and cardboard bits, wipe frames with a dry cloth, and keep cardboard dry.

Made to be clawed. Scratch surfaces fray and shed a little over time, which means they are doing their job.

Measurements are approximate, so allow up to an inch either way. On-screen colors are approximate.

Check posts, fixings and suction cups every few weeks, and anchor tall pieces to the wall if your cat is a big jumper.

Warranty

Normal wear from enthusiastic scratching and napping is not covered.

IT'S OUR MISSION
TO GIVE INDOOR CATS
A LIFE THEY LOVE.

  • We built this for the indoor cat who gets nothing but a food bowl and a bed, and still acts like it needs to climb walls.
  • Every element, from the horizontal cardboard to the moving ball to the bowl shape, is designed around actual cat behavior, not what looks good in a product photo.
  • When you're done: collapse it flat in 3 seconds and slide it under the couch. No clutter. No excuses.
