Highlighted Reviews

— Cindy

"My cat went insane over these scratching boards. I thought they would be like the cardboard ones he shreds to pieces, but these are much harder and very well made. They come with strong, double backed tape to secure them, and even though he is a big, strong cat who really puts his whole body into it..."

— Karen

"My cats refuse to use them. Waste of money. Back to the cheap ones my cats will hopefully use before they attack my furniture."

Bottom Line

This product is worth considering if your cat is particular about scratching surfaces and you need a durable option. However, be prepared for potential issues with adhesive reliability and ensure your cat actually likes the scratcher.
