Does this have any stains or polyurethane coating? I'm looking for a non-toxic scratcher. Thanks!

It is stained and has a light coating, but it is also a great backscratcher!!

As far as I know, there's no stain. It definitely has no polyurethane. Best backscratcher you'll ever find, BTW.

It's all natural. Love that it's handcrafted in the USA. My dad LOVES, and I mean LOVES this thing.

The finish seems to have a very thin coating of finish applied. This is a great item for us. It comes with a piece of sand paper to keep it sharp, though, you could probably take a few minutes to use a rough grade sandpaper, followed by a fine grade sandpaper to remove the finish. Regarding toxic concerns, I used to have a telescopic metal scratcher, that looked somewhat like a fork that worked great. I hope this helps. Take care

No yellowing, I've owned it for several months now. It does scratch fairly easy, but I don't mind for the price.

So far I have not had any scratches and its easy to keep clean with just a damp cloth. I wouldn't say it would never scratch - anything can - but with normal usage should be OK. The one I received had been damaged before being packaged (at the factory) but has not yet deteriorated any further.

My best guesscription is mottled gray, black & white. It holds up well to our cats - while not *supposed* to be on it, we catch them up there once in a while. Not a scratch, a big plus.

I rinsed and cleaned my infants Sophie toy last night and left overnight to dry. What I discovered on the counter this am were brownish imprints of the four feet. I am very worried now about giving this to my baby. How do I know if this paint is not toxic??

Hi James,The label on the product bottle says No Tannic Acid, No Benzyl Benzoate, Non-Staining Formula. It's non-toxic and safely neutralizes household allergens on contact. I hope this helps!

It did not stain any for me. I have leather furniture, wood floors and the dog bed is fabric. I didn't notice a thing.

I have had NO problems with the afore mentioned unit. No noise. No temperature variations. No staining or scratching.

Ours hasnt, but the outside does get dirty easily from grease and stuff, you might want to try to wash the outside with something that wont scratch it. Because of the dark color you can hardly notice though. Ours is purple =)

I have the original PetFusion scratch lounger and that one does leave bit of cardboard, however, this jumbo doesn't seem to shed as much. It is still pretty new, however, but the cardboard appears denser on the jumbo, which suggests it may not shed as much. My cats LOVE all of their PetFusion loungers. Hope that helps!

no, no staining. just keep it clean on outside with stainless steel cleaner. it's kind of a brushed stainless.

the ceramic on ours did not peel but scratches badly-even when washed with a smooth cloth. The instructions state to wash stains with baking powder and that scratches the ceramic so I would'nt recommend it.

We have an ivory rug and I find no stains . There is always a possibility of some stains because these are dried hide and there may be some grease in them . My lab usually took his outside

I have not experienced any staining. It is clear and washes out with soap and water.

I think it's a poly blend. Seems to shed dirt. A years worth of wear on two of these and no stains.

Our does eats other softer beds and is a moderate scratcher. The fabric seems durable in that it is stretched in order to assemble the bed (difficult assembly due to the fabric top needing to be stretched to fit the frame). We have found the bed to be durable and I feel confident that the bed would prove to be durable for a scratcher. In fact, I have not found any other fabric more durable than this. I hope this helps and good luck.

My cat is 5 months old. He loves the cat tree. He does not scratch on the faux fur, he scratches on the rope around the poles. My older cat only lays in the large box with two holes. She doesn't scratch at all.
