Frequently Asked Questions
It’s incredibly easy! The mat comes equipped with 4 pre-installed velcro strips on the back. Simply:
- Clean the surface (wall, cabinet, or furniture side) to remove any dust.
- Peel the protective film from the adhesive side of the strips.
- Press the mat firmly against the surface for 15 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
To ensure your cat can stretch and scratch with all their might, the integrated velcro strips perform best on smooth, solid surfaces. We highly recommend attaching the mat to:
- Sofa & Armchair Sides: Perfect for diverting your cat’s attention away from your upholstery and onto a durable sisal surface.
- Finished Wood: Ideal for the side of a kitchen island, desk, or bed frame.
- Smooth Painted Walls: Great for creating a dedicated vertical scratching station that doubles as wall decor.
- Glass, Tile, or Metal: These surfaces provide the strongest possible bond for the adhesive strips.
To keep your home looking its best, we suggest avoiding wallpapered walls or surfaces with old, peeling paint. Because the professional-grade adhesive is designed for a secure hold, it may damage delicate paper or loose paint upon removal. For these areas, we recommend using the Leaf Mat as a stylish floor scratcher instead.
If you have delicate wallpaper or expensive paint, we recommend using the mat as a floor scratcher or rug.
Most cats are naturally drawn to the scent and texture of sisal. However, you can "sweeten the deal" by sprinkling a little catnip on the surface or placing the mat near their favorite (and forbidden!) scratching spot, like the arm of your sofa.
