Common questions

Is sisal or carpet better for scratching?

Sisal is usually the better choice. It is hard-wearing and gives a satisfying shred, while looped carpet can snag claws and teaches the cat that carpet is for scratching. Some cats also love cardboard scratchers.

How do I stop a tall cat tree from tipping over?

Use the wall fixing kit that most tall trees come with, and place the tree on a level floor against a wall. Floor-to-ceiling models need correct tension against the ceiling. Check bolts every few weeks, as they loosen with use.
