Common Questions
The rope gets detangled with slight pressure, so have to ensure not to apply too much pressure?
Yes, the users have a firm suggestion of making sure not to press the product with force using hands without gloves so as to protect the product.
I live with multiple cats that are extremely demanding when it comes to their posts. How should I manage it?
We recommend that you do not try it on multiple cats - it is not robust enough for such pressure. Also, make sure that your cats don’t have sharp nails, as that could speed up the deterioration of the post.
