Accordion Corrugated-Paper Cat Scratcher and Lounge

Pleated corrugated paper expands into a textured surface in this adjustable cat scratcher. Open the accordion structure to create curved forms or a round bowl-like layout with a surrounding rim. Its brown paper surface has exposed corrugated edges, giving it a different feel and care routine from a padded fabric cat bed.

Arrange it on a dry, level indoor floor and check the chosen shape before your cat approaches. The structure can be opened into different layouts, so judge the resting or scratching space in the form you actually intend to use. A tall folded shape and a broad open bowl occupy different floor areas. Keep it away from water and damp floors, and leave clear space around it for your cat to step on and off.

We chose the expanding paper construction for a scratch-and-rest surface that changes shape without a separate rigid bed frame. Brush away loose cardboard crumbs and hair gently, and keep the paper dry rather than washing or soaking it. Inspect the pleats and joined edges regularly; replace damaged or collapsed sections that no longer hold their intended form.
