SmartyKat Super Scratcher Chaise uses our patent pending process of infusing highly concentrated catnip between each layer of cardboard, so the potent catnip scent is released every time your cat scratches. Additionally, the Super Scratcher Chaise cradles cats for an ideal hangout spot of their own. The instinct to scratch is hard-wired into cats. Cats scratch to mark territory, promote healthy nail growth, tone muscles, and to help alleviate stress. Figuring out your cat's preferred scratching surface can feel like guesswork. To make your life easier, we recommend trying out corrugated scratchers first, because the texture closely mimics tree bark - one of the most common surfaces felines love digging their claws into when out in nature. SmartyKat toys, beds and scratchers are designed to meet the needs of your cat: Exercise, Hunt, Stimulation, Interaction, Scratch and Comfort without forgetting about FUN! Kids and pets often share the same space in the home and will have access to each other’s toys. That is why we design products to meet child safety standards; ensuring kids in the home are safe, whether they are two-footed or four-pawed! We utilize recycled and sustainable materials wherever possible. Please read all packaging instructions, warnings and cautions upon receipt. Packaging may contain small parts, discard after opening.
