Cactus Cat Self Scratcher / Self Groomer

Bring a slice of the desert into your home with the Cactus Cat Self Scratcher! This quirky, cactus-shaped toy gives your cat a fun way to satisfy their scratching instincts. The built-in pot lets you add catnip, with small holes in the cactus body releasing the scent to lure your feline friend into play. This Cactus is a charming addition to any space that keeps your cat entertained and well-groomed!

Design Details

  • Cactus Body: Measures 11cm tall, 9cm wide, and 5cm deep. Covered in conical spikes for scratching and grooming, with small holes for catnip scent to waft through.
  • Pot Base: About 3cm tall and 6cm in diameter, designed to hold catnip.

 

Assembly & Mounting

  • Mounting: Attach to a clean, dry vertical or horizontal surface using either strong double-sided tape or use the mounting holes in the back
  • Catnip Setup: Fill the pot loosely with catnip—the scent will escape through the cactus holes, naturally drawing your cat in. If they’re shy, sprinkle a bit more catnip on the spikes to kickstart the fun!
  • Placement: Position at your cat’s shoulder height for easy access. Give them time to explore—the aroma does the heavy lifting!

 

Printing Recommendations

  • Supports & Brim: No need for supports, however the brim is enabled for cactus in order to avoid warping of side spikes.
  • Filament:
    • Cactus Body: Print with basic PLA (e.g., Elegoo PLA Sea Green).
    • Pot Base: Use standard PLA (e.g., Elegoo PLA Brown).
  • Post-Processing: Remove brim carefully and sand rough edges for a smooth finish.

 

Happy Printing and watch your cat fall in love with their new desert buddy!
