Frequently Asked Questions
Why do cats love wool felt?
Cats are naturally drawn to wool because of its unique texture, natural scent, and warmth. As a renewable natural fibre shorn from sheep as part of their regular care, wool retains qualities that many cats instinctively find comforting and engaging. Combined with the dense yet flexible structure of our felt, it provides just the right amount of resistance and movement during scratching while also offering a comfortable place to rest.
Will this help protect my furniture?
Providing an appealing scratching surface can help redirect your cat's natural scratching behaviour away from furniture. Every cat is different, but many are naturally drawn to wool felt thanks to its texture, natural scent, and unique flexibility. Unlike rigid scratching surfaces, dense wool felt gently responds to your cat's movements as they scratch, creating a more engaging and instinctively satisfying experience that encourages natural scratching behaviours.
Is wool felt durable enough for scratching?
Yes. Our signature industrial-grade wool felt is exceptionally dense and designed for everyday use. Surface fuzzing and visible scratch marks are a normal part of natural wool and reflect your cat enjoying the product without affecting its function.
Does the felt shed?
Natural wool felt may release a few loose fibres after heavy scratching, which is completely normal. Loose fibres can simply be removed by hand or with a lint brush.
Will my cat scratch through it?
Our signature industrial-grade wool felt is manufactured to meet the demands of industrial applications where materials are subjected to high tensile forces and repeated use. Its exceptional density and strength make it highly resistant to tearing. Over time, your cat will naturally leave visible marks and texture changes; expected signs of use that reflect a well-loved natural material while preserving its function for years.
Can kittens and senior cats use it?
Absolutely. The soft yet dense surface is suitable for cats of all ages, whether they enjoy energetic scratching sessions or simply lounging on a comfortable natural surface.
How do I clean the scratching mat?
Use a lint brush or vacuum regularly to remove pet hair and loose fibres. If needed, spot clean gently with cold water and a mild detergent, then allow it to air dry completely. To restore its shape, use a warm iron with steam. Wool is a naturally resilient fibre that responds well to gentle heat, making it easy to refresh and flatten over time.
Why choose wool felt instead of cardboard?
Cats are naturally drawn to surfaces that respond to their scratching. Unlike rigid cardboard, dense wool felt has a subtle flexibility that moves with your cat's paws, creating a more engaging and instinctively rewarding experience. This gentle movement, combined with the natural texture and scent of wool, offers a durable, refined alternative designed to satisfy both your cat's instincts and your home's aesthetic.
Is every mat identical?
No. Because wool is a natural material, slight variations in colour, texture, and fibre composition are part of what makes every piece unique. While our wool felt is manufactured to consistent industrial standards for density, thickness, and performance, subtle colour variations may occur from one production batch to another. These differences reflect the natural origin of the wool, as fibre tones can vary depending on the sheep and the regions from which the wool is sourced. Some batches may appear slightly lighter, while others may have richer taupe or deeper brown undertones.
Where is it made?
Each scratching mat is thoughtfully designed and made in Québec, Canada, using premium industrial-grade wool felt selected for its durability and timeless appearance.

We believe in choosing materials that are made to last. The felt used throughout our pet collection is composed of 85–95% natural wool fibers, sourced from responsible suppliers.
The remaining percentage consists of recycled fibers, including cotton and other reclaimed textile fibers, helping give existing materials a second life while reducing waste.
The result is a dense, durable material designed for everyday use, combining the natural performance of wool with a more thoughtful approach to manufacturing. By choosing natural and recycled fibers over virgin synthetic materials, we create products designed to stand the test of time while reducing the demand for new resources.
Every piece reflects our philosophy: design less, but better—placing lasting value on quality materials, durability, and timeless design.
