Care & Growth Requirements
Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight but can tolerate partial shade.
Watering: Requires minimal watering; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Well-draining, sandy, or cactus mix soil is ideal.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (above 50°F/10°C) and is not frost-tolerant.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings, but handle with care due to its toxic sap.
Toxicity Warning
The milky sap of the Pencil Cactus is highly toxic and can cause skin irritation, eye inflammation, and severe discomfort if ingested. Always wear gloves when handling or pruning.

Excellent
Color: Tan
The only problem I have is that it comes apart a little too easily. My cat is the most finicky thing in the world, but she loves this as much as she can. She's not really one for toys. This, a scratch post, and a cardboard scratcher are her only toys she favors. I almost died of shock when she used this the first time😅

Tighten the compression nut
Color: Tan, Color: Tan
My cat loved this groomer right out of the box! She was so aggressive, though, that the brush kept coming out of the base. When my husband got home from work, I asked if he could put some kind of glue in it. Two minutes later, he had it fixed. He says this is a compression nut that you tighten with your fingers (a wrench would probably break it) on to the metal ends of the brush. The look on his face said what he didn't dare say out loud. In my defense, there were no instructions included.

Product seems fine. My cats won't use.
Color: Tan
My cats won't use this or go anywhere near it. I am considering taking the brush part off the base and trying to attach it to some furniture they constantly rub against. The arch has to be assembled, which was super easy. The brush is sturdy and the base holds it well. I am keeping it in hopes of finding some way to teach my cats how great it could feel. The 3 stars rating is strictly because my cats won't use the product, so that lowers it's value for me.

Broken right away … nonfunctional
Color: Tan
Hi, all, I bought this item back in 2023. The idea is great, as we all know cats love to rub against scratchy things. The first thing that I’ve noticed is that the bristles were too soft. The devil is in the details, as they say and the execution of this piece needs to be addressed. My cats broke it in 1 day; the base of the wire was torn out of platform. I should have returned it right away, but I thought that I can fix it by glueing back together. Two years and multiple attempts after, it is nonfunctional. In its current disposable state, the price should be around 6-7 $. Connection of wire to the base needs to be reinforced by the manufacturer to make a good product!
