FREQUENTLY ASKED
The questions we get most.
Still wondering something? Email us at figandfriends@heydearfig.com. A real person (usually with a cat on their lap) will write back.
Most cats walk up to it on their own once treats are inside. If yours is shy, start by sprinkling their favorite treats, toys, or catnip around the outside, then place a few in the holes. About 9 in 10 cats engage in the first session.
Yes — nail file paper (just like what we humans use on our own nails) sticks to the interior of the box on all sides, so every time your cat reaches in, the front of their claws drags across it. It works gradually, gently filing down their sharp claws. Most owners notice a difference after a week of regular play.
It's the same gentle 120 grit aluminum oxide nail file material used on human nail files. Cats interact with the surface using their claws, not their paw pads. We've tested it with our own five (very judgmental) animals for over two years.
We invented this design and have a patent on it. The knockoffs use thinner wood or cardboard, toxic materials such as pine, use soft felt (which does nothing) instead of nail file material, and don't last past a few months. Ours uses solid oak wood and pre-cut refill sheets so the box itself lasts years.
Depends on how much your cat plays and if you take care of the paper. For one cat, most people swap sheets every 6-12 months. For a multi-cat household, every 6 months is typical. A refill pack is $19.99.
No. It's a daily maintenance tool that keeps the front claws shorter and reduces the need for full trims. We still recommend regular vet checkups, especially for back claws, senior cats, and kittens.
Free shipping on all U.S. orders. Most orders go out within one business day from our warehouse and arrive in 3–5 business days on domestic orders. International orders can be 5-21 business days depending on region.
If you tried everything, send it back within 30 days for a refund (subject to fees). We'd rather have it in a home where it gets used than collecting dust on a shelf.
