Oval Sisal Cat Scratcher and Bed with Toy Ball

This oval cat bed is wrapped in braided sisal rope, so the same piece works as a place to curl up and a surface to claw. The rope runs around the outer wall and across the sleeping surface in cream and tan rings, and a small sisal ball on a cord is attached for batting.

At about 24 inches (61 cm) long, it has room for a cat to stretch out or settle into a loose curl. The base has an anti-slip surface, which helps it stay put on a hard floor while your cat scratches the walls or kneads the middle. It weighs roughly 2.4 lb (1.1 kg), light enough to move from room to room.

Place it where your cat already likes to nap or scratch, near a window or beside a sofa arm they have been working on. Sisal is a natural fiber, so loose strands may work free with heavy use, and a lint roller or vacuum picks them up. A larger cat will fill most of the oval, so measure the space you plan to put it in. It is a bed and a scratcher, not a raised perch or a cushioned mattress.
