Magnetic Cardboard Cat Scratcher Ring with Bell Ball, 9.6 in

This scratcher is a long strip of folded corrugated cardboard that pulls open like an accordion. Unfolded, it curls into a round track, and the small bell ball sits in the channel so your cat can bat it around while scratching. The cardboard has a honeycomb pattern that gives claws a textured surface to dig into.

Magnets at the ends hold the strip together, so you can shape it a few different ways. Close it into a ring, stack it into a tiered tower, or fold it into a bone shape. Set up as a ring it measures 9.6 by 9.6 inches and stands 4.4 inches tall (24.4 x 24.4 x 11.2 cm), which is small enough for a corner of the living room and roomy enough for a kitten to curl up in.

Cats of any age can use it. Scratch marks and shredded paper are part of the deal, since cardboard wears down, so expect to replace it eventually. Place it where your cat already scratches, and keep it dry.

Gently pull the sections apart to open it, and press them together again when you want to pack it away.
