A tall tree on a small footprint
Cats love height: up high they feel safe and can watch what's going on. With a base of just 36×36 cm, the D22 rises to 107 cm — a good option for small flats without room for a wide complex. How to train your cat: how to teach a cat to use a scratching post.

Which cats it suits
The manufacturer aims it at young, energetic cats. Kittens and medium-sized cats will be comfortable in the house and on the platforms. Large cats may find platforms on a 36×36 cm base cramped and are better off with a model with wide beds.
Stability
A tall tree on a narrow base needs attention: place it on a level floor and check it doesn't wobble when your cat jumps up. For a large or very active cat, stand it against a wall or secure it. Tighten the fixings regularly.
Where to put it
Good spots are by a window, near your cat's favourite resting place or where it has tried to scratch furniture. Cats often scratch after sleeping, so posts near a resting spot get used more.
How to get your cat to use it
Play with the pom-pom and a wand toy near the tree, put a treat on a platform or in the house, and rub catnip on the sisal. Praise your cat when it scratches the post. If it scratches furniture, calmly carry it to the post.
A house and a drum: why two hideaways
Cats like different resting places depending on their mood. The house below is an enclosed hideaway for hiding and sleeping. The drum higher up is semi-open, good for watching and playing with the pom-pom. In a two-cat home, each gets its own spot without squabbling.
If your cat ignores it
Sometimes a cat ignores a new scratching post for a few days. Don't worry — give it time to get used to the smell. Move the tree to where your cat spends most time, play near it and leave favourite treats on the platforms. Interest usually appears within a week.
Materials and care
It's made of chipboard covered in faux fur, with sisal-wrapped posts. Remove hair with a brush or vacuum attachment and wipe stains with a damp cloth. Worn sisal can be rewrapped.

Verdict
