Best Catnip for Cats

Our Vertical Scratching Poles and Floating Scratching Posts only require one wall stud for installation. This makes the Scratching Pole a perfect solution for walls with irregular stud spacing.

The Horizontal and Angled Poles will come with drywall anchors for one of the two included Mounting Planks. As long as one mounting point is secure in the wall stud, you can use the drywall anchors for the second one.

We do not recommend our products for outdoor use. Bamboo has a high starch and sugar content. Since our bamboo is composed of many layers of compressed reeds, the bamboo can mold over time in areas with high humidity or regular exposure to rain. We are currently in the process of testing sealant options that will protect the material. In the future, we hope to offer furniture that can withstand the elements for our customers who would like to expand their Catastrophic Layout to the outdoors. At this time, we ask that our furniture is used indoors only.

The main purpose of the Scratching Pole is to provide your cat with a safe outlet to scratch and claw to their heart’s content. This means that over time, the sisal rope on your Scratching Pole will become worn out. Luckily, the modular design of the furniture makes it very easy to swap your old segment for a brand-new one. You can find replacement sisal segments here. 

Yes, our furniture is modular! Any of our furniture pieces can be flipped horizontally, rearranged, or combined with any of our products.

The Sisal Pole Extension is used to add another sisal segment above or below a Scratching Pole platform. If you’d like to see an example, The Expedition and The Crow’s Nest include this feature in their layouts. 

This item will come with an additional threaded rod. The Scratching Pole uses a sisal pole bolt to hold the platform in place, sandwiching the sisal segments. You will replace the sisal pole bolt with the new threaded rod, then twist the Sisal Pole Extension until it locks into place.

You can easily upgrade to a Leaf Shelf at any time. To swap the couplings for the Leaf Shelf, you will simply remove the sisal segments and replace the couplings with the Leaf Shelf.

Leaf Shelves can be rotated to any angle around the Scratching Pole. The Shelf is flat on each side so that it lays flush against the wall when it is turned to the farthest angle.

We recommend choosing your angle, and then tightening the next sisal segment down to hold it in place. You should choose your angle before tightening the Pole down. If you would like to change the angle, loosen the sisal segments first.

You can dust, brush, or vacuum away any accumulated surface dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soapy water. Make sure you wring out excess water and wipe the wood gently. We recommend an organic or natural soap rather than a harsh detergent. This is because a harsh soap can damage or discolor the natural sheen of the bamboo. Since bamboo is a reed plant, it is important to make sure you do not oversaturate the bamboo while cleaning.
