ShioSel, Cat Scratch Pads, Scratcher Cardboards Scratching Pads, Catnip Included, 5-Pack (Slim)

good functionality a bit short

My cat loves these thin scratchers and I leave them anywhere he tried to scratch when he was a baby. He uses these instead bc he is the best boy ever. He had a bad reaction to the catnip that was included, so I sprinkled these with the brand/type of catnip that he loves and he took to these immediately. I'd buy them again.

I’m giving these 4 stars only because these are not quite as sturdy as others I have purchased and also are more like refills than independent scratchers. When I viewed the photo it showed a solid cardboard edge so I did assume they would be sturdy. My cats are able to scratch right through the cardboard sides. I’m pretty sure these would fit in most of the box style ones had I saved one. They also shred pretty easily. You do get 5 of them - which brings them to around $3 each - so compared to petsmart refills - you are saving money - i would just suggest not throwing away your outer box. I do not use catnip not made in the USA - therefore I can’t review on it. I threw it away. This is a good bargain - if you’re always buying the refills this is a good way to go as the cost is good. If you’re looking for a stronger - long lasting scratcher - I would not suggest these.

The description of this product says that it includes catnip. Mine did not. Other than that, it was slightly shorter than I expected but I can work with it.

I zip tie these on kennels for foster kittens and they are the absolutely perfect size

Needed something for my (inside) rabbit to scratch to help keep his nails from getting so sharp. Haven't use long enough to really tell, but he seems to enjoy having it in his cage. My cat seems to like it also. I rub a little catnip on it and she goes after this and leaves my wallpapered wall alone....for now.I'm hoping they will last through and keep everyone busy during this summer. If so, I may have to order more for the rest of the year. We will have to see.....but so far, so good. Thanks!

You get what you pay for. These are thin and cheap. My cay scratched completely through one in just a couple of days, whereas with a normal (better) quality cardboard scratcher refill, it takes up to two months for him to scratch thru, and even then I can reverse it and he gets more use out of it.Will not buy again.

My name is Jangles the cat, and I love this. It makes a big mess of cardboard bits all over the place, which my mistress doesn’t like, but it keeps me off the furniture. She tried to give me a rug-covered scratch board, but I wouldn’t go near it. I love to sharpen my claws, I love this, because I can really scratch. My mistress likes it too despite the mess because it is inexpensive; a side lasts about a week, and there are two sides to each unit.
