Fat Cat Big Mama's Cat Scratcher Toy with Catnip

I cant keep my 3 cats off this thing. The meek female I have even swats the big boys away from her scratchy box lol....this thing is magic, who knew?? I bought it because I bought a new runner rug (I dont own any rugs with 3 cats, 2 dogs..its just too much to keep clean) but I saw the washable rugs and gave it a try--well I saw the cats always scratching on my new rug I was going insane---this little box put an end to that!! I put it next to the rug and the scratchy box was much more fun thank god I bought 3 types of floor scratchers--fancy incline ones and they pay no attention to those ---all 3 went immediately to this. I need to get a couple more they basically decimated it...

My kitty LOVES the stuffed toy that came with this scratching box. She immediately started batting it around and chasing it all over the room. I sprinkled some of the catnip on the scratching box and all she did was lick the cardboard. It got a little discolored. Oh well. She does use it to scratch but it's not a huge attraction for her. The yarn tassels on the corners are of little interest to her. She has more fun with the toy.

I've bought these for my three big kitties (10 yr old siblings from the same litter and all over 10 lbs) before and they absolutely LOVE them. When I put the new ones down, they have to check out each one - I have four of them spaced throughout the house and I kept a couple of the old ones as well. They scratch, get excited and go ripping through the house. They even love to nap on them as I'm sure the cardboard probably stores some body heat. A great buy for the price!

This familiar looking scratcher attracts my new cat MORE than the furniture arms. Of course, for now I have stuck cellophane packing tape on the corners of my furniture, but still... I hope the scratcher is just as attractive after I remove the tape, later. The catnip helps.

Love this scratcher. My previous cats loved it. Unfortunately my cats now chew up the cardboard frame leaving the corrugated scratcher naked on the floor. Lol. Still a great scratcher, just stupid cats. Lol

As a Cat Mama for over 25 years, I can say this is a sturdy and durable scratcher. I swear by cardboard scratchers - you just have to find the shape your cats like! If you have carpet scratchers these flat ones will be chosen over the carpet. I love that it flips over for longer use. The little toy is a bonus. The tassels draw attention. The catnip is a bonus, but once your cat decides they prefer this scratcher no need to tempt towards it! I have a cat I found as a feral adult and even he prefers it - no catnip needed. A favorite item in our house. We order a couple at a time and keep in several rooms.

After TJ's dropped their economical version, I switched to this because it is also a good size for a cat to sit on (to brace) and scratch easily. The tassels, toy & nip are not needful things, but the box is sturdy enough to use for other things after the used scratcher is bested on both sides. Refill option PLEASE. I hate waste!

I plead ignorance to not checking the strength of this corrugated cardboard. My Ragdoll basically destroyed it within an hour of receiving it. It is not the heavier cardboard. My rating probably isn’t fair since I should have verified. Just disappointed

These are terrific. I wish sold refills. It's wasteful to throw away the shiny hard cardboard container every time. Also, the cat nip included in these does nothing to my cast and they LOVE quality catnip. They sniff this stuff and walk away. The company could stop including this, and maybe the yarn tassels, too, and lower the price. It's cardboard, after all. But yes, the cats do love these wide scratchers.

My cats absolutely love this cat scratcher and toy. They like to scratch it and also sit/lay on it. They were not interested in the catnip. I will buy this again once the cardboard is no longer tight.
