AMZNOVA Cat Scratching Pad, Durable Cardboard, Cat Scratcher with Catnip, Wide, Textured White(Upgraded)

When i got it out of the packaging I thought how cheap it was. Originally I thought it was almost carpet like material and imagined it to be quite heavy. This was not heavy at all and is actually cardboard like material. But it came with catnip so I thought I would put it down with the catnip on top and see them walk past yet another scratch post to my sofa. Nope. They both threw themselves all over It, and have not scratched anything else since! My black cat sits on it and sleeps, guarding it from the kitten. Absolute winner!

My maine coon loves this! Previously the stupid thing was scratching the sofa, and no amount of bad smells, disciplining or ushering to a sisel peg would stop her. We even tried expressing her claws and manually getting her to scratch the proper posts but to no avail.However within a single minute of putting this thing down though, she was scratching it and has not touched the sofa since.

Our new rescue kitty loves this! She is always going over to scratch it, and the catnip is a great encouragement to use it.Only loses one star because if you sprinkle catnip on it goes right through to the other side. Bit of a design flaw! It also gets shredded all over your carpet, but I knew that before I bought it.

Our gorgeous little Sammy loves his scratch pad he sleeps on it as well, never known a cat who likes a piece of cardboard too his lovely soft & comfortable warm bed 😍 will buy again from this seller. 👍

The cats love this and will even curl up and sleep on it. I’m not as keen as I end up with little bits of cardboard all over the floor. (It’s made of strips of corrugated cardboard with the cut ends showing as the scratching surface) .However the oldest cat who has a heart condition and a belly swollen with fluid finds reaching up to scratch on a normal pole is too uncomfortable. I hadn’t noticed he wasn’t using his pole until I heard his claws clicking on the lino. I got the vet to trim them but since we bought this his claws seem fine. I guess I can live with the mess!The cats gave it five stars. I’d give it four because of the mess.

I purchased both the narrow and wide scratchers. My cat loves them. It took her a couple of days to realise what they were, then she took to using them daily.In addition to scratching, they're good for keeping the cat cooler than the carpet does. I've noticed her sitting on the wide scratcher more often as the spring days warm up, especially after a sunbathing session. It will be helpful for her when summer arrives.Ultimately, these are just sections of corrugated cardboard, so they're a little pricey for what they are. But the cat gets a lot of enjoyment out of them, and they last for months. You can turn them over once one side gets worn down, and they're completely rigid, so even the fattest cat won't flatten them. A few small bits of cardboard get shed during use, but no more than a couple per week.

My vet nurse recommended this as our cat would never use a scratch post and preferred our carpets and rugs! Being flat she wondered whether the cat might use this instead. What a result! She went straight to it (the catnip helped get her started) and we have never looked back. She uses it regularly and sits on it to groom herself. This has become her new best friend!!

Although disappointed when I opened this (just looked like some hard cardboard stuck together) it's actually really great... and probably eco friendly too. My cats love it and so far has been pretty durable and haven't had to flip it over to the untouched side. Comes with a little catnip bag which obviously scents the scratch board as my cat immediately started rubbing himself all over it. Definitely recommend to anyone.
