Cat Scratching Mat Rug with Anti-Slip Backing

This low-profile mat is made of woven cloth with stitched edges and an anti-slip lining on the underside. It lies flat on the floor, so cats can stretch out on it and scratch the surface the way they would a carpet. Because it sits flat, it works well in front of a sofa, beside a bed or in a doorway where your cat likes to scratch.

It comes in two sizes: 40 x 60 cm (15.7 x 23.6 in) and 50 x 80 cm (19.7 x 31.5 in), and each size is offered in gray or brown. The smaller size fits a corner or the end of a hallway; the larger one gives a cat room to lie full length. Pick the size by the spot you have in mind, since the mat is meant for floor use rather than for climbing or hanging.

Shake it out or vacuum it regularly to lift hair and litter tracked in on paws. For marks, spot-clean with a damp cloth and let it dry fully. As with any scratching surface, loose threads will appear over time with heavy use; trim them rather than pulling.
