Cardboard Cat Scratcher Pad, Wave or Flat Design in 5 Colorful Styles

Some cats ignore expensive scratching posts and go straight for the cardboard box they came in. This corrugated scratcher gives them exactly what they love. The packed cardboard ridges are satisfying to dig into, and the curved wave shapes double as a spot to stretch out on. Choose from five styles with colorful printed edges: rainbow, yellow cat print and three geometric designs. Pick a wave curve or a flat board.

Please note: cardboard scratchers shed small bits of paper as they're used. That's normal and shows your cat is using it. Vacuum nearby now and then, and replace the pad when the surface wears down.

The Scratcher Most Cats Use Right Away

Cardboard is one of the easiest scratching surfaces to get cats interested in. It gives under their claws, makes a satisfying sound and holds their scent. Many cats like to scratch horizontally, and the curved styles let them stretch out, then curl up for a nap in the dip. Because these pads are lightweight and affordable, you can place one in every room your cat likes to scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my cat sleep on it?

The wave styles have a curve your cat can lounge in. At about 8 inches wide, they suit kittens and small cats best for napping. Larger cats will mostly use them for scratching and stretching.

Will it make a mess?

All cardboard scratchers shed small paper bits with use. Placing the pad on a hard floor makes cleanup easy.

How long does it last?

That depends on how often your cat scratches. Replace the pad once the surface is worn flat.

Can I add catnip?

Yes. Sprinkling a little dried catnip into the ridges often gets cats interested quickly.
