Frequently asked questions
Which plywood is better — 3mm or 6mm?
6mm is stronger and warmer. 3mm — if you're cutting on a low-power laser.
Does it need sealing?
Yes, any water-repellent sealant. Details in the PDF instructions.
Do cats actually use it?
Yes, see the stories above. The key is placing it where they already feel comfortable.
