Wooden A-Frame Cat Scratcher with Lounge Space

This cat scratcher is built as an A-frame with a light wood-grain finish that blends in with most living rooms. One slanted face carries a textured scratching pad at a natural stretch height, so your cat can reach up and pull against it. The other side stays open, with a flat floor tucked under the slope that makes a small lounge for curling up or keeping an eye on the room.

It stands 21 in (53 cm) tall, with a footprint of 18.5 x 12 in (47 x 30.5 cm). That compact base slides into a corner, beside a sofa or against a wall without taking over the floor, though the open space underneath suits one average-sized cat at a time rather than a pair of large ones.

Because it combines a scratching surface, a hideaway and a perch-style top edge in a single piece, it is a handy choice if you have room for just one cat furniture item. The pad will wear with regular scratching, so keep an eye on it and plan on a replacement over time. Place it on a flat, level floor so the frame sits steady while your cat scratches.
