Cat Scratch Pad, Textured Cardboard, Colors Series, Wide, Ivory

I brought this product for my very new rescue cat who suffers from extreme anxiety. This is a lovely scratch board that he started using straight away. He was encouraged by the catnip that you sprinkle on the top. My cat scratches and rolls on this product. When he is nervous or anxious he also goes and scratches on this rather than my furniture. I would highly recommend this product as a stimulating toy and scratch board. The only downside is that the catnip can fall through the product but it is easy to sweep or hoover up. Excellent value for money and is going to last for a while.

Similar to what many people have said in other reviews. When it came it seemed like it’s just a bit of hard cardboard, but my cat absolutely loves it and has stop scratching on the chairs.She also like sitting on it. It is a tough cardboard and of course when the cat continually scratches on it bits of cardboard will come off and I’m sure that after some time I will have to replace it, though of course I will let her scratch up one side and then turn it over and then she’s got the other side to scratch, so I’m sure it will last quite some time before I need to replace it. I love the fact you can choose a colour on the side which matches the area that you want to put the scratch board in. This is brilliant and the best scratching cat item I have ever bought and it’s not an eyesore in my front room.

My cats love this and the side panels go with my living room decor, but the bits of cardboard they cats scratch off go everywhere and it didn't last very long. I have now opted for a different one that is enclosed in acardboard box and that is much better.

I have 2 cats so I bought 2 so in theory they would have 1 each - yes they're cats so we all know how that theory worked out - silly me! First off they went absolutely mad for the catnip especially the big cat (the black one called George) I couldn't get it open fast enough for him and ended up with 10 layers of skin missing & catnip everywhere!! Once I'd added the catnip, the cats did what cats do and loved the boards, rubbing themselves against & over them etc. George then decided they were both his & every time the little cat (black & white one called squirt) went near one of the boards he would bat him away. Once the catnip effect wore off, George completely ignored them! George however ignores everything other than dreamies and catnip so this was no surprise! Squirt on the other hand has made them his new home (he's asleep on one of them as I write this). He loves them, he spends his day laying or sitting on them and uses them to scratch - yay Squirt! He even remained laying on one of them while I hoovered instead of running away and hiding in one of the many scattered about tunnels like usual. He is rewarded with a dreamies treat when he scratches on them, much to George's annoyance, and has not scratched anything else since. George is still using the old futon as his scratch post and get annoyed with no dreamies treat for doing so - he will learn, eventually! He has started to sit on them and sometimes lie on them so he has started to accept them invading his domain. I have tried to get a photo of Squirt scratching them but as soon as I move to take the photo, he stops scratching! I will add that a day or 2 after getting them George decided it would be fun to upend a newly filled water bowl over one of them, I was concerned how this would affect them as they are cardboard but I popped it up out of their reach to allow it to dry & it is as robust as it was before its' fight with the water bowl. I found that excellent & it said a lot about the good quality of them. Whilst I am only getting a 50% success rate in terms of them being used for scratching at present, I'm still happy to give them 5 stars for everything because of how much Squirt loves them and George seems to be coming around to them & I think will soon start to use them other than for a sun lounger! The 4 photos with the hoover in view were taken today - Squirt still hasn't moved from that spot!

Great item, just as described

This was expensive compared to other cardboard cat scratchers I have bought. Don't waste your money.

Purchase these up to 4 times a year, when they wear out. Yes cardboard does get everywhere but have tried several less messy ones that went to cat charity, as they looked sniffed and walked off. Every day first thing in the morning they go for these and several times a day. They sleep on them, Play on them and it saved my stair carpet as since getting these they have not once scratched the carpet. Is a must in your cat household. One tiny thing, they come in different side colours that make no difference to your cat, I’m sure, but certain colours cost more than others??? I always go for whatever colour is cheapest as I have to buy 2 ever time. They all look nice and the girls love them in the garden if it’s nice. Definitely 👍 recommended.

I've bought 1000 things for my fussy cat over the years and he's never used any of it until now. He loves this scratching mat. Uses it for all his claw sharpening and hasn't touched my soft furnishings since. Came with a bit of catnip which sent him wappy. You can probably buy it cheaper but it's good value for money if it stops your furniture getting damaged.
