Insights from real Pet Parents
AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The scratching board is a hit among cats, offering a mix of play, rest, and scratching. While some felines adore fishing out the jingly balls, others prefer lounging or scratching. The cardboard can wear out quickly, especially with enthusiastic use, but its affordability makes it easy to replace. Some owners find it less sturdy for heavier cats, but overall, it's a fun, engaging product that many cats enjoy, providing hours of entertainment and relaxation.

Hours of fun for kittens
I am sure there was a ball inside but think my clever kittens got it out. What really drove them to distraction (in a fun way) was when I put ping pong balls in the holes. Kittens were happily engaged in trying to get the balls out for nearly an hour. It was a great test of their ingenuity and physical skills. I'm getting more (one for my niece's cats and another for my kittens). I recommend these very highly they will keep you kittens/cats happy for ages.

My Tabby cat loves it
Soon as I unwrapped it she has not stopped playing with it.

Funtastic!
My cat, who is a British short hair blue, (so biggish in size) can not get enough of this board. He uses it every time he comes in the room.
When he has his "mad halfhour" he goes bananas with the balls and board.
He also loves laying on it and often curls up and falls asleep.
This has to be the most used, loved, and value for money, ever!
Will be getting another one or two!
Overall....Great, cheap, fun and well used!
My cat loves it
Cat loves it! It's a toy, bed, scratching post all in one, and we turn the scratch pad over when he is finished with one side. We repeat buy it for him when he is done using it every 12 weeks

Excellent Toy for my Kitten
My 11 weeks old Russian Blue kitten loves it!

Cats love it!
Our cats love this! They both use it to sit on, play with the ball inside and as a scratcher. The only reason I gave it 4
Star is that the top part of it is easily taken out by our cat when she gets the ball out. We have since glued it so that she doesn’t get her claw stuck to the top. Worth the money though and will buy again.

Amazing
My cat can't get enough of this. I have to pick up the balls and insert them again all the time because she's become an expert at removing them in a flash. The cardboard is enduring surprisingly well despite my kitty being a Norwegian Forest Cat with giant claws.

Brilliant value
Great fun my cats love scratching on it and flicking out the balls.
Durable scratcher and loads of fun
Rebuying as it's finally worn out. Not all cats will "get it", but mine even locates balls by peeking through the holes on the side. Cats sharpen claws or rest on corrugated card, close to the feel of bark.

Great
This is the only cat scratcher that my cats will use. Both of my 5 year old ragdolls enjoy sitting on it, playing with it & most of all scratching it.
Ignored by one, adored by the other
One cat played with the included ball and enjoyed poking her paw inside for about five minutes when I first put it down, then completely ignored it.
The other cat took a little bit of time to come round to it, then adopted it as her scratching place and bed. She has scratched it so much that it has bent in two and she has scratched a hole through it. She loves it and if you are looking for her this is where she will be, either scratching it or sleeping on it.
Please restock it!

Great
Great product she loves it she's trying to get the Balls from inside out 😂 😂 😂

No cat likes it
My mums cat isn’t interested in scratching it. Neither is the neighbours male cat who doesn’t even go anywhere near it. The other neighbour’s kitten (10months) played with the balls inside but again not interested in scratching it. They all rather come in and scratch our carpets and rugs!
Maybe it’s for really young kittens.

Cat didn't even try it
I bought this in the stupid hope the cat may like it. If not the ginger neighbours kitten less than a year old or the other tabby cat who visits. The ginger like the balls inside then got bored. A waste of time and catnip has no scent to it.

Unusually Popular Toy
All of my cats love this and enjoy sitting on it, scratching it and some of them like to play with the balls. I put in different kinds and they enjoy that. I don't even bother to use catnip on it. By the way, my cats are 10 months to 11 years old.

My senior cats love it
This is great for the lounge. There are balls in there which they pull out but you can replace them if lost. They take it in turns to sit on it and watch everything and scratch it in turn. This is the best of the cardboard scratchers that I have had.

Absolutely the Best
Had loads of these over the years, glad they're back in stock. These are the best ones you can buy, as it is in a box, no nasty mess underneath when it is moved. Have used them for my own young and old cats and for foster cats in the pen when I worked for the Cats Protection, they are brilliant for reducing scratching furniture, and the balls underneath always give that one element more for your feline friends to find. Well worth the money and cheaper than PEts @ Home

Lasts for a while
Perfect scratching furniture for our lady (Mandy), who unfortunately can't go outside because she's deaf... So she scratches indoors, but not on the furniture—she uses several different scratching posts and similar things. She's also discovered the balls inside and can keep herself entertained with them. Since it gets worn out after a few months and needs replacing, it's very affordable. Perfect.

Excellent entertainment
Nagi, the "cat", uses it all the time. He never stops playing on it and scratching his claws. It's great entertainment.
Of course, since it's made of cardboard and Nagi is such an energetic "ninja-cat", it lasts about a month – not bad considering it's cardboard and in the paws of a feline X-)) -

Scratching post with holes and balls
The two stars aren't about the product itself but about my cat's satisfaction. She was a bit interested at first but quickly lost interest and hardly ever uses it to scratch her claws.

My cat loves scratching this box, it works well during a move/travel if you don't have access to a scratching post.

It's a shame you no longer sell the spare parts
It's ideal, the only downside is that you no longer sell the replacements.

Essential
She’s been using this scratching post since she was a kitten. She just can’t do without it. She’s so happy to get a new one that she sits on it as soon as it’s out of the packaging and won’t leave it. How long it lasts depends on how much she uses it, but on average it lasts about 6 months because she loves it and uses it a lot.

Scratch and play
Our cats figured out really quickly what to do with this, and both are really skilled at catching the balls inside it. Plus, one of them likes to scratch it every day and the other uses it as a resting spot.

just so-so
The cat likes lying on it – but that's about it. Neither the balls nor scratching on the furniture meant for it are interesting. My little (lightweight) daughter climbed on it once to reach the table – snap! It broke. Ah well.

They love it. I bought other models, but since this one is big and sturdy, they adore it. They started using it straight away and scratch their claws on it with great enthusiasm.

Multifunctional
My cat sleeps on it and plays with it. She loves moving the balls around by sticking her paw through the holes. Out of all the toys, this is her favourite, and when the cardboard gets worn out, I take it off and she uses it as a bed.

They love it
It's the second time I've bought it and they love it. They don't play with the hidden balls that much, but they do scratch it a lot (obviously) or just nap on it.

Very good scratching post
My two cats (12 and 5 years old) love scratching on it and sleeping there... The balls, though (even when I move them myself), go completely unnoticed.
