I have owned a variety of cat-specific furniture over the years. I have spent more money, than any sane person should, on high-end wrought iron beds and Martha Stewart Foot stools (directly from her website before her products were in pet stores). I have also purchased a variety of cat towers and scratching.All of these offerings have been laughed at and mocked by the Cat Gods that I share a living space with.Meanwhile there has never been a cardboard box enter my house that was not part of a turf war of some sort. So, imagine my joy when I found a stylish cardboard cat scratcher shaped like furniture. I was giddy with joy as I hoisted this contraption into my cart at the pet store - and then quickly drowned in sorrow when I found a $30 price tag associated with it.

I got this to encourage my de-clawed cat to scratch and knead, as it is important for de-clawed cats to continue to engage in the scratching/kneading motions to improve any pain or discomfort that might be present and to help long term with arthritis.The scratcher looks good (we got the green stripe), and seems a decent quality. The great price is what really drew me in.The big problem I have with this item is that it just isn't wide enough, and the length is a bit short too. But it's really that the bed is so narrow that only a tiny cat or kitten could actually use it to stretch out on comfortably. And my kitty isn't that big- she's a little overweight at 10.5 lbs, so really not that big.

My cat had been scratching my furniture, and while I bought him a scratching post, he didn't seem to be that into it. I read some literature about cat behavior, and learned that when cats wake up from a nap, they like to stretch and scratch near where they were sleeping. I put one of these Catit Jungle Stripe Loungers in every room where my cat likes to sleep – and voila! – greatly minimized cat furniture scratching.Because my cat was already in the habit of scratching my furniture, adding these by themselves didn't reduce the scratching of other furniture entirely. I added panels of cat scratch deterrent tape onto the pieces of furniture that he most loved to scratch.Here's the scratch-deterrent

One of ours immediately fell in love with this flat floor scratcher, claiming it for his own within 10 seconds of my unwrapping and placing it on the floor. Sweet guy that he is, sharing with siblings is fine, too, though they're take it or leave it since we've also a sisal post and a cardboard incline scratcher, both sturdy wood frame and nicely expensive.And both of which he ignores, preferring a kitchen hook rug that I've let him go to town on as it's a decade old and seen better days. Still, it's a habit I'm not comfortable encouraging. His siblings are great with the aforementioned expensive sisal post and wood framed cardboard incline, so it worked out well that this inexpensive addition garners his interest.As every cat owner knows,

My cat loves to claw up the carpet mostly so I bought this in hopes of reducing that. Doesn't seem to care for the scratching post or anything with that rope-like material.He sat on the lounge the second I unpacked it... I had to move him in order to sprinkle the cat nip. Went crazy and rubbed all over the thing and he does that every time the cat nip is involved. For about 2 weeks, all he did was sit and nap on it. It was good that he liked it but he was still destroying the carpet.I started scratching at the scratcher in order to get him interested in doing the same and he started clawing at it himself. YES!! I kept doing this, cooed and gave treats immediately after he did it. By the third week,

I had been searching for a Christmas present for my cat that he would actually use and enjoy, unlike all the other toys I've bought him over the years. I figured that since he loves to scratch our carpeting, this would be a good choice, and it turns out that I was right.I gave this to him on Christmas day, and he's been using it ever since. The little package of catnip included in the packing is what initially attracted him to the scratcher, but now he uses it for the pure joy of scratching. So far, this seems sturdier than the cardboard scratchers that you can buy in places like Walmart, but of course, you still get the little cardboard shreds everywhere.A big plus for me (and my cat)

(From Wifey) We have several cat scratchers in our house, different shapes and sizes. We have three cats, two occasionally scratched, but Milo (until recently) completely ignored the scratchers and proceeded to shred the back of our couch! As our scratchers were at "2 out of 3" relative success, I bought this particular one for a friend of mine and said ... "If Thimble doesn't take to it, give me it back and I can use it at ours". So using the great Amazon direct delivery service! I ordered one for her, for her Thimble-cat to try. Unfortunately, after a month of trying, Thimble didnt take to it, so I was given it back. I placed it on the middle landing of our three storey house.

This is, as someone else has commented, just a large piece of corrugated cardboard. A very thick piece, so the cats are scratching into the corrugations. It is very light, so easy to move round, but as the cats stand on it to scratch it will not move in use.I have found that my furry gang prefer these scratchers to any other. I have to vacuum them on a regular basis to remove the loose cardboard, and to get down to solid cardboard again to allow for more destruction.This type of scratcher is currently protecting my sofa, laying down its life in defence of my soft furnishings as the cats shred this in preference, as long as it is roughly in the same place. Another one is slowly meeting its death in my bedroom,

If you're struggling with your cats tearing up your carpet or other valuable items such as your newly delivered furniture then you will be pleasantly surprised to know that even my very old, ridiculously stubborn, and sworn frenemy immediately stopped ripping up my carpets and destroying my chairs the moment I pulled back the plastic on this product. I have not seen or heard him scratch away at anything else for a solid month. I wish I had used these more often in his younger years; 14 years of cat scratching has been really rather expensive.The bad news is that while it works, I can't see it effectively working for more than a month or two.

I have a beautiful calico cat who would be more at home atop the rafters of the barn at the farm than here in my city apartment. But what can Miss Kali do but live this pampered city life since having been so spoiled, she would be ready prey at the barn for night critters like coyotes or the eagle who visits daytimes to thin our catfish population? This outdoor cat who must live indoors comes with claws and a desire to scratch no matter that I keep soft claws on her. I refuse to have her declawed so I have had to come up with solutions to keep her happy and me happy at the same time. Thus I ordered this scratcher. It is curved and just about her size when she curls up to nap, which she does on top of.

I tried to interview my cats about this but they didn't really respond so I think I'll have to do it on observations alone. Leo the tabby has a good scratch of this after every meal and late at night when he knows it'll terrify us. Ian the posh long haired uses this as his chaise longue while he reads his financial times. Lola the kitten likes to scratch this so much she doesn't care if ian has finished his paper or not then violence ensues. She also likes to lounge on this too, but not as elegantly as ian. She usually lays on her back and licks her bumhole before taking a nap. Dexter, our fourth cat, a black and white cat, likes to scratch the carpet NEXT to this. He does however also chase his tail,

Kitty was clawing at our rug, despite having a scratching post in the room (though admittedly, it was off in the corner). I saw this scratcher while shopping for some other items, and for the price, decided it was worth a try. It's interesting that it comes with cat nip, as the cardboard is just honeycomb holes, so the cat nip falls right through. However, I used a bit of catnip to rub along the cardboard, thinking it would entice some interest, and that was literally all that was needed. Our cat is now using this scratcher daily (uh, actually throughout the day), to do the obvious, but she also likes to just sit on it (whaaat?), and it's small enough that we have it near our coffee table (so that it's close to the rug area she used to beat up)

I bought this out of curiosity, to see what they'd do, but I'm very glad that I did because it makes a huge difference switching from the thinner, smaller, flimsy scratchers (which wear out extremely quickly and aren't big enough for all of my cats) to this. Eight out of eleven cats are in love with it. They scratch it all the time and someone is usually hanging out on it. Sometimes they wait nearby for a vacancy and then go right for it as soon as it's free. A few of them are pretty big cats, long-legged and long-bodied, and they still fit surprisingly comfortably on it, even the biggest one. After a couple of weeks or so there's definitely visible wear (some pretty deep grooves worn in their favorite spots),

My cats BOTH loved this scratcher!! They took to it right away (with the catnip) and would scratch on it often. There are a couple of cons that mean that I won't be buying it again....however....if it were up to my cats, the house would be full of them!Cons:These slip like crazy on tile floors. My whole house is tile, and this would slip all over the place. One of the cats was really freaked out by this until he figured it out. My cats are well loved (i.e. fat!) and with the shape of the scratcher, they found it easiest to stand to the side and scratch with their front paws on it (versus standing on the actual scratcher and scratching). So this thing would move every time they scratched.The cardboard on these really shreds up and goes everywhere.

I purchased one of these for my four fur-baby household a few months back, not knowing how they'd feel. As soon as it was unwrapped, on the floor and even before spreading the catnip, my baby girl, Freya, hopped right on and claimed it. Tubby, her best buddy, attempted stealing it not too long after. They finally learned to share....after a month or two....heh. The other two babies didn't really bother with it. We do have quite a few other kitty toys and such, so it didn't bother me of the two's disinterest.Well, it's been several months since I gave the first one to them. Needless to say that it shows how much they love it. So, I purchased another. To my surprise, they were all excited to pounce,
