Frequently Asked Questions
Why do cats need a cat tree or scratcher?
It’s in your cat’s nature to scratch, scale surfaces and lounge where they can survey their surroundings. Cat trees and scratchers not only satisfy these instincts, but also support healthy claws and provide enriching mental and physical exercise. As a bonus? Your furniture stays scratch-free!
How do I choose the right cat tree for my cat?
Selecting the right tower all depends on your cat personality, age and energy levels. Kittens or more active cats may prefer towers with multiple platforms to jump between, while older cats may prefer those lower to the ground with enclosed spaces to rest. Your cat may want a tower especially tall so they can really gaze over their kingdom, while other kitties may use a tree for rest and enjoy hidey-holes for a good nap. Whatever your cat loves, you will be sure to find it here at Petstock.
How can I encourage my cat to use a scratching post?
If your cat is new to using scratchers, encourage them by placing the tower in a spot they already love to scratch and gently guide them there with toys or treats. Sprinkling a bit of catnip on and around the scratcher can also help spark their interest. For lounge-loving cats, try positioning the tower in a sunny, cosy spot — chances are, it’ll quickly become their new favourite perch.
What’s the best material for a scratching post?
Carpet, sisal and cardboard are the most common materials used for cat scratchers. Some cats love sisal fabric because it has a satisfying texture that mimics natural surfaces. Sisal rope is even more durable and allows your cat to get a good grip. However, for cats who enjoy horizontal scratching, corrugated cardboard is a great option too and can be easily replaced! The best scratching posts for cats differ from cat to cat depending on their preferences, so you may have to experiment a bit before you find your cat's favourite scratcher.
Can I customise a scratcher to suit my house and cat's needs?
Yes! Kat Attack, our exclusive Kiwi-owned brand, offers customisable options for those little extras that make all the difference. Love a tower but want it in a different color to match your décor? Need more sisal columns or extra rope for your curious climber? No problem — just chat with your local Petstock team, and they can place a special order to suit both your home and your furry friend perfectly.
