Why it matters
Kitty Curls is a cardboard accordion with magnetic ends: shape it into a curl, a tunnel or a ring and cats scratch, stretch and hide in it. It folds flat and is recyclable.
It's more toy than permanent scratcher.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Playful cats
- Kittens
- Enrichment
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
- Reshapeable
- Toy and scratcher
- Folds flat
Cons
- Wears quickly
- Light
- Not for heavy scratchers
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.
