Fat Cat Big Mama's Cat Scratcher Toy with Catnip

I bought this because the foster home that had my kitten before I got her, had one in their house for the cats/kittens. There are many brands that make this type of cardboard scratching product for cats. I chose this one because I like the decorative exterior with little fringes and play toy. It also came with a bit of catnip. When it arrived, I sprinkled some catnip in it and put it down for the cat to play with, but she Has been uninterested in scratching it. I’ve moved it around, showed her how to use it, even tried angling it 45°. It’s been here two weeks and she has never used it as a scratching device.

The scratcher is average size. We expected it to be larger. There is no information on the outside wrapper of where the item is produced. That normally indicates made in USA. Once you open it there is a small area on the back side of the wrapper that says made in China. The toy is also made in China. The catnip says it is grown in USA but no information about where it is processed, packed etc...

Hello! My name is Grace. I am dictating this review to my human. I am 15 and very particular. My human has purchased a lot of scratchers for me, but I have always preferred the carpet. Finally she found one that I really like. I really do like a horizontal surface. I use it every day and sometimes even nap on it. (I like the scent of catnip.) I have instructed my human to order another.

My girl has several scratching posts but i thought she might like a horizontal scratcher as well. As soon as I put this on the floor she jumped on it & knew exactly what to do. She uses this every day and likes to play with the side tassles too. Usually my girl is cautious of everything new, but she took to this immediately.

I’ve had this for weeks and my cats are still using it which is very out of the ordinary! Usually they’re only interested in something for a day or two. They keep coming back to this which is awesome! The catnip helps too :) this item is durable and doesn’t leave shreds of cardboard everywhere like the others I’ve used in the past

My cats love these cat scratchers. They will lay on it to keep the other cats from being able to use it. I love that it came with a little toy. One of my cats almost wouldn't let me open it before he was demanding the toy. I couldn't open it fast enough for him! Will definitely buy again.

I pretty much have every scratcher available and there are only 2 others that all 3 cats like aside from this one. I was REALLY surprised how they all took to it so quickly and I just ordered 3 more! They must have infused it with catnip because one of my cats tries to lick it. I did not use the catnip that comes with it for that reason. They use it to scratch and they also take turns lying on it to get brushed or to rest. I'm happy when they are happy!

When I got this out of the delivery box, my cats were trying to play with it before I got the plastic off. Sprinkle a little of the catnip - and magic! They lie on it, scratch on it, and fight over it. I ordered more. It's saving my rugs, for sure!

I got this scratcher for my kitties in my auto-ship, as it was the only one that looks like it can take a beating from multiple cats in both use and size. There used to be these smaller ones that can hand on a door knob that I got for them last year, but they’re now available anymore. Pumpkin went to town on the scratcher and just LOVES IT! She didn’t want to let Patrick or Patches use it after she was done!

I had an older slimmer scratcher that was just done. I wanted a wider one since I have 2 kitties and I love my furniture and rug.. The minute I unpacked it and seasoned it with the catnip my Lemmy boy went to town! Then promptly took a much needed nap since he was up for all of 2 hours, exhausting being cute and fluffy. Also came with a cute little catnip toy. Highly reccommend.
