A flat jute mat for scratching and stretching, with latex backing designed to reduce slipping. Stability depends on the floor surface.

Specifications

• Dimensions: 28 × 80cm
• Scratching surface: Jute
• Backing: Latex

Use and care

• Lay flat on a clean, dry, stable surface near your cat’s usual scratching spot.
• Let your cat investigate at their own pace and reward interest. Check stability before and during use.
• Inspect for damage and loose material. Follow the product’s care instructions before wet cleaning.

Scratching preferences vary; this mat is not guaranteed to stop furniture scratching. Cats that prefer scratching upright may also need a sturdy vertical scratcher.

Choosing a scratching surface

Is this a mat or a scratching post?

This is a flat 28 × 80cm jute scratching mat. It suits a horizontal scratching setup. Watch whether your cat chooses rugs and flat surfaces or prefers to stretch up a post before buying.

Where should I put it?

Start beside the place your cat already scratches, on a stable, dry floor. Reward interest and allow time to explore. Check the latex backing grips your particular floor.

Can I use catnip on it?

A small sprinkle of dried catnip may interest cats that respond to it. It is optional, and not every cat responds.
