The Cat Self Groomer Arch is a free-standing bristle tunnel your cat walks under and rubs against, so it massages the back, cheeks and sides while the dense bristles pull out loose, shedding hair. The oval base doubles as a textured scratching pad, and because there are no motors, batteries or apps involved, you can set it down anywhere and let your cat use it whenever the itch strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features of this cat self groomer arch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands-free grooming\u003c\/strong\u003e – your cat rubs against the bristles and works loose hair out on her own, with no brushing battles and no bath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMassage where she cannot reach\u003c\/strong\u003e – the flexible bristle strip bends over her spine, shoulders and flanks as she walks through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScratching pad base\u003c\/strong\u003e – the textured oval base gives paws a place to scratch and knead, so it works as a grooming station and a scratch mat in one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemovable brush\u003c\/strong\u003e – the bristle strip lifts out of the base for cleaning and clips straight back in, so trapped fur is easy to clear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo batteries, no wires, no noise\u003c\/strong\u003e – nothing to charge or switch on, and nothing that can startle a nervous cat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and free-standing\u003c\/strong\u003e – 34 cm \/ 13.6 in tall on a 36 x 28.5 cm \/ 14.4 x 11.4 in base, so it fits in a corner, a hallway, or next to a bed or litter box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShared by the whole household\u003c\/strong\u003e – there is nothing to take turns with, so several cats can use the same arch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush the two ends of the bristle strip into the fittings on the base so it forms an arch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace it on the floor where your cat already likes to rub, such as a doorway or beside a favorite sleeping spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet her investigate.

An arch gives them a surface that is always at the right height, and the bristles catch the loose hair that would otherwise end up on your sofa. It is a quiet, no-power alternative to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/interactive-cat-toys\"\u003eelectric and automatic cat toys\u003c\/a\u003e, and it pairs well with a scratching post or one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cat-litter-boxes\"\u003ecat litter boxes\u003c\/a\u003e in the same corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow big is the cat self groomer arch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe arch stands 34 cm \/ 13.6 in tall and the oval base measures 36 x 28.5 cm \/ 14.4 x 11.4 in. The whole unit weighs about 0.577 kg \/ 1.27 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it fit a full-grown cat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost adult cats can walk under it and rub as they go. Very large or long-bodied cats tend to rub along the outside and the top of the arch instead, which works just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it need batteries or power?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. There are no batteries, no motor and no electrical parts, so it is always ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan the brush be removed for cleaning?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The bristle strip is designed to be taken off the base for cleaning and refitted afterwards, which makes it easy to pull out collected fur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the base really a scratching pad?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base has a textured pad surface that cats can scratch and knead while they groom. It is a horizontal scratch surface, so it complements rather than replaces a tall post for cats that like to stretch upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it work for long-haired cats and kittens?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth can use it. Long-haired cats leave more hair behind in the bristles, so plan on clearing the brush more often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it slide around on hard floors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is light and free-standing, so an enthusiastic cat can shift it on slick floors. Placing it on a rug or against a wall keeps it steadier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow fast is shipping, and can I return it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are processed within 1–2 business days and standard US delivery takes 7–12 days after dispatch, with a tracking number emailed for every order.
