Questions & Answers for SmartCat SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post

Question

Did anyone else receive their product where the fiber "flyaways" were sticking out?

The base is also sort of scratched so I was wondering if maybe a cat has already used the product which makes me wonder if mine will use it (he hasn't taken to it).

answer 2
There are always a few flyaways. Once it's been used quite a bit, the sisal pattern is not as pronounced. It's different than just having a few stray hairs sticking out. I have 3 cats and have had 2 scratchers for probably 5 years, and bases on mine are not scratched. So not sure the scratches would be from use? Try setting something on top of the scratcher like a shoe lace or toy that he will paw at the fabric to get it off the scratcher. Also spray with catnip.

Mine also has flyaways which is making me think about returning. I too wondered if it had been used. I also thought it might not hold up well if it is new and already fraying. At this price I need it to last a long time.

No. I checked with the company once on whether I could buy the sisal on these scratchers to recover. Their answer was that the sisal is very durable and should last a long time. It's not cost-effective for them to sell just the sisal.

Question

Interchangeable post?

It would be wonderful if the unit could be constructed so that you could switch the base around in order to allow the cat to scratch full-length on both ends when one was scratched out.
