Highlighted Reviews

— Sue

"I have it in the floor and all the cats use it. (5). Previously only one was always tearing them up so quickly as I can't trim her nails. This is nearly indestructable! I'll be getting more instead of the ones they tear up in a few days."

— Joey

"Not cat proof. To make it worse, when attempting to remove the velcro from the wall, it just tears the paint off the wall, so I am really disappointed"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a wall-mounted scratcher that your cat will love for the catnip, this could be a good choice. However, be prepared for potential sticking issues and consider using a stronger adhesive.
