Cat scratching post Trixie 48160, freestanding, grey, 580×480 mm

Freestanding cat scratching post Trixie 48160 in grey, size 580×480 mm, provides a stable surface for natural scratching behaviour and claw care. The compact, single-piece design fits living rooms or balconies and helps protect furniture by directing scratching to a dedicated structure. The product combines a jute-wrapped scratching area with plush-covered resting spaces and reversible cushions for added comfort.

Advantages

The scratching post is made with a 5 mm jute rope surface designed for effective claw maintenance while resisting frequent use. Plush-covered resting areas with two reversible, hand-washable cushions offer a soft place for cats to relax. The integrated hammock and fully plush-fitted cave create multiple activity zones—scratching, resting and hiding—within a compact footprint. The product has been tested by an independent expert body for animal welfare and protection, ensuring a design that considers feline needs.

How to use

Place the freestanding scratching post on a flat, stable floor area away from slippery surfaces. Encourage the cat to use the scratching post by placing it near furniture the cat currently uses or by applying catnip or toys to the scratching area. Allow the cat to explore the hammock and cave at its own pace; reversible cushions can be removed and hand-washed as needed. Regularly inspect the jute and plush surfaces for wear and replace the unit if structural integrity is compromised.

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting performance, avoid placing the scratching post in direct sunlight or damp areas. Clean plush areas by spot-cleaning or hand-washing the reversible cushions according to fabric care instructions; do not machine wash to preserve filling and shape. Rotate or reposition the post periodically to maintain the cat's interest and provide additional scratching posts if multiple cats share the space.
