Height
Tall enough to scratch standing up, big enough to hide in
Fifty centimetres tall: they can stretch up against its walls to scratch, or go through the large round entrance and take cover inside.
A hideaway they can scratch
A hideaway their size
31 × 33 cm on the floor, 50 cm tall, a large round entrance and a small window: room to slip in under cover, and keep an eye outside.
Walls to scratch
Corrugated cardboard is a surface cats readily scratch: the walls of their house serve as a scratcher, and keep the marks.
It fits in a corner
31 × 33 cm on the floor: it slips into a corner, or right next to the sofa they currently scratch.
Natural material
Cardboard, recyclable at the end of its life.
The moment
They also scratch to leave a mark
Scratching keeps their claws in shape, but it also leaves a visible mark and a scent: a territorial message. They'll do it on whatever is well placed and clearly visible — so it may as well be the scratcher.
Cardboard
They leave their mark on it
The scratch marks stay on the cardboard: it's the sign they're using it. Corrugated cardboard wears down as they scratch — that's what you expect from a scratcher.

Putting it in the right place
-
Next to what they scratch
Not at the other end of the room: right next to the sofa or door frame they already use.
-
Near their bed
Scratching follows waking up. A scratcher within reach as they wake is a scratcher that gets used.
-
Catnip, once
A single application at the start. After that, leave it be.
-
Leave it in place
Once they use it, don't move it again: it has become a landmark. If you need to bring it closer to a scratched piece of furniture, do it in small steps.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about the scratcher house
My cat keeps scratching the sofa.
Almost always a question of placement: the scratcher needs to be next to the scratched area, not elsewhere. Move it there, then gradually move it back.
Does the cardboard shed bits?
Yes, it's inherent to the material. A quick vacuum around it once a week is enough.
How long does it last?
That depends entirely on the cat: the cardboard wears down as they scratch, that's its job. Once too worn, it goes in the recycling with your other cardboard.
A spot all their own, to scratch
A 50 cm tall corrugated cardboard house, to set down where they scratch now.
