Cats need to scratch — it is how they stretch, shed old nail sheaths and mark their territory. The only question is what they scratch. This corrugated cardboard scratcher gives them a satisfying surface to work on and doubles as a resting pad they can curl up on between sessions. The wavy shape creates a gentle curve that supports the body, so it functions as both a scratch board and a cat bed in one. Comes with catnip included to get your cat started immediately. Available in Flat, S-Shaped and Wavy profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my cat to use it?
Sprinkle or rub the included catnip onto the surface. Most cats investigate and begin scratching within minutes. Place it near where your cat already scratches — near furniture they have targeted is ideal, so it becomes the preferred alternative.
When do I replace the cardboard?
When the surface becomes too shredded to be satisfying — cats prefer a surface with some resistance. Most cats continue using the scratcher until it is heavily worn. The replacement insert slots in easily without replacing the outer frame.
Will it slide on hard floors?
The base has a non-slip surface to grip on hard floors. For very vigorous scratchers, placing it against a wall gives it something to rest against and prevents movement entirely.
Is it suitable for kittens?
Yes — introducing scratching surfaces early is ideal. Kittens develop their scratching preferences young, so establishing the scratcher as the go-to surface before they discover your sofa is far easier than redirecting an established habit.
