Corrugated Cat Scratch Board in Rectangle, Square or Round

This scratch board gives your cat a flat, corrugated paper surface to claw, stretch and lie on. It comes in three shapes: a rectangle, a square and a round. All three are about 2.2 inches (5.5 cm) thick, so they sit low on the floor and are easy to slide next to a sofa or under a table.

Corrugated paper is light, so the boards are easy to move from room to room. The rectangle measures 19.7 by 13 inches (50 x 33 cm), the square 13 by 13 inches (33 x 33 cm) and the round 15.7 inches (40 cm) across, based on the shipping carton. A single board weighs about 14 oz (400 g) and ships at about 1.2 lb (540 g).

Put it down where your cat already scratches and let your cat find it. Many cats take to a board quickly if you rub a little of their scent on it or place it near a favorite napping spot.

Paper boards wear down and shed small bits as they are used, so expect to sweep up around it and replace it when the ridges flatten. Keep it dry, since corrugated paper softens when it gets damp.
