Natural Sisal Cat Scratching Mats, 32 x 20 Inch, Set of 4

These flat scratching mats give cats a place to claw that is not your sofa. Each mat measures 32 x 20 inches (80 x 50 cm) and the set holds four, which makes it easy to cover several spots around a home with more than one cat.

The scratching face is natural sisal, with edging stitched around the border so the edges stay put. The back is a non-slip latex layer, and adhesive hook-and-loop tape is provided so you can fix a mat to a floor, wall, fabric sofa or door. The mats work lying flat as a scratching and resting pad, or standing up against a surface where a cat can stretch out to scratch.

There is nothing to assemble. Unpack the mats, decide where your cat already likes to scratch and place one there first, because cats tend to go for the spots they already use. To clean, vacuum the surface or shake the mat out outdoors.

Because the mats are flat and fairly thin, they suit cats who scratch in the open, whether low on a floor or high on a wall. They will not give the height of a post. Before sticking a mat to paint, wallpaper or a good fabric, test the tape in a hidden spot, as adhesive can mark some surfaces.
