5.0ARIS Soft
Matched to how your cat scratches
A cat scratches in their own way. Across the upright posts, the texture is matched to how hard they dig.
ARIS Soft answers a gentler claw. A column wound in soft braided cotton on a steady square base, finer and kinder than sisal, so a Companion who scratches lightly takes to it easily and comes back.
Why your Companion reaches for it
A column wound in soft braided cotton from base to top, an inviting upright a Companion can rise to and work, gentle under a light or still-learning claw.
Soft braided cotton wound tight from base to top, finer and gentler than sisal, a forgiving grip for a Companion who scratches lightly or is just finding their claws.
A toy hung from the top arm at a paw's reach, drawing a Companion up to bat and chase between scratches.
Why it belongs in your room
An upright column on a steady square base, sculptural from every side, a piece made to stand in full view.
A cotton-wound column and a Baltic birch plywood base, finished in our Cairo workshop, nothing draped or dressed over it.
Ships ready to stand. The post turns home into the base by hand, no tools, and ARIS is standing.
The build.
A column wound in soft braided cotton from base to top, a gentle scratch zone for a Companion to reach up and work.
A steady square Baltic birch plywood base that holds the column firm against the pull.
A flat Baltic birch plywood arm fixed across the top, carrying the toy at a paw's reach.
Hung from the arm and mounted by its own screw at the top, swinging for a Companion to bat and chase.

The piece
The column for a gentler claw
Not every Companion scratches hard. ARIS Soft answers the lighter claw with a column wound base to top in soft braided cotton, finer and kinder than sisal, forgiving under a kitten just finding their claws or a senior who likes a soft touch, on a square base steady enough that it never shifts, the steadiness that earns their trust and brings them back. A wooden arm reaches across the top, and from it a toy hangs at a paw's reach, turning the scratch into play.
We build ARIS Soft in our Cairo workshop: a column wound tight with soft braided cotton, a steady square Baltic birch plywood base, a flat wooden arm, a toy hung on a cord. Honest parts, gentle where it counts, and made to stand in full view.
Frequently asked questions
How do I encourage my Companion to use ARIS Soft?
A few things can help:
- Put ARIS Soft where they already scratch, not where you would rather they scratched.
- Rub a little catnip into the cotton, or set the toy swinging to pull them over.
- Play with them around the column so they touch it while they are distracted.
- Reward them the moment they scratch it themselves.
- Never take their paws and put them on it.
- Give it time. A Companion can take weeks to claim something new.
Where should I place ARIS Soft?
Start at the spot your Companion already scratches. If they work the sofa, stand ARIS Soft right beside it.
Somewhere they pass often works better than somewhere tidy.
Will ARIS Soft stay steady while my Companion scratches?
Yes. The column seats into a steady square birch base that holds it steady however hard your Companion works it. They can throw their whole weight against the column and it stays where you put it.
Stand it on a flat surface and it is ready.

How do I put ARIS Soft together?

- Screw a toy into the holder on the underside of the arm.
Several toys come with it, so you can put on whichever one your Companion takes to.
How do I clean ARIS Soft?
Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth and don’t leave it sitting in water.

جبته لقطتي الكبيرة في السن عشان القطن أنعم عليها من الحبال الخشنة وحبته جدا ثابت وسهل التركيب ومناسب ليها أوي
my kitten loves this one and keeps fighting the little toy 💗
Batta uses it all the time now.
Got this for Winnie while she's still young and she took to it immediately. Nice and stable too, doesn't move around when she scratches.
