FAQ
About Catssup
- What is Catssup made of?
Catssup is made of high quality steel, an alloy of iron with carbon. Powder coated steel gives the products an extra smooth and matte finishing while adding durability to the design. It is more resistant to corrosion and highly chip resistant. Topped with PET felt, a material made of recycled plastic bottles. It is soft, yet a sturdy and durable material for your cats to scratch and rest on. It offers a great acoustic performance and can be recycled at the end of its life.

- What is the thickest surface that Catssup can be attached on?

- My cat is huge and heavy. Is it safe for him/her?
Catssup platform units are designed for cats that are below 7kg. Do not put objects that are heavier than 7kg on Catssup products.
- Where can I install the Catssup products?
Catssup can be installed anywhere with a flat surface, such as book shelves and tables. Before clamping the Catssup products on any surface higher than 100cm, please make sure the clamping platform is permanently and securely fixed to the wall with wall attachment devices. Otherwise, serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over.
When using in conjunction with off-the-shelf products, e.g. shelving from IKEA, make sure the wall attachment devices are installed correctly as instructed by their respective product manuals. Stable platforms are crucial for the best performance of Catssup products.
When you clamp the product on any horizontal platform that is wider than 45cm, always clamp the product near to the vertical member/support as possible.
- How tight should I screw onto the platform to ensure the Catssup products are secured?
Please do not excessively tighten the product on any platform and be careful not to damage your furniture during the installation. Regularly check for the clamps, screws and bolts, and ensure the products are firmly clamped on the mounted platform.
