Why it matters
Amazon's pack has four flat cardboard pads, 17.4 x 10 in, that flip over when one side wears out. Spread them around the house where your cat scratches.
Spot clean only.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Floor scratchers
- Several rooms
- Budget
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that only scratch carpet (try a flat mat)
- Very large cats on small posts
- Owners expecting a scratcher to last forever
Pros and cons
Pros
- Four pads
- Reversible
- Cheap
Cons
- Flat only
- Sheds
- Small
Limitations to weigh
- Put scratchers where your cat already scratches: by doors, beds and the arm of the sofa.
- Cardboard sheds bits and wears out; flip or replace it when the surface is flat.
- A pinch of catnip or a wand toy dragged across the surface helps a cat find it.
