Why it matters
The Scratch Lounge is the original sided scratcher-bed: cats scratch the inside, lean on the walls and nap. The XL is 22 x 13 in, its reversible inserts double the useful life, and it's made in the USA.
Catnip is included.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Scratch-and-nap cats

Pros and cons
Pros
