Cardboard Cat House with Scratching Surface

This little cardboard house gives a cat a den of its own. It is built from corrugated paper in a honeycomb sandwich construction, with a peaked roof, a small vented window panel and a cat-ear-shaped doorway. Cats tend to love anything they can squeeze into, and the textured walls double as a scratching surface, so nails that might go for the sofa have somewhere else to dig in.

It arrives flat and you put it together yourself, tab by tab. There is no glue or tools involved, and part of the fun is watching your cat inspect each piece as the house takes shape. Allow a few quiet minutes for it, and set the finished house in a corner or beside a sunny window where your cat already likes to settle.

At roughly 14.8 x 16.3 x 16.5 inches overall, it suits one average-sized cat comfortably; a large cat may find the doorway and floor snug. Cardboard is not meant for wet floors or messy spills, so keep it dry and expect the scratched surfaces to wear and shed paper bits over time. When it gets tired, it is easy to recycle.
