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.

Amazing!
Our kitten loves trying to get the two balls that come with it out but the only bad thing is that when you put the catnip in it falls out straight away through the holes on the side. It also is very hard to break which is good as our kitten loves trying to break things open!

Hours of Fun!
This keeps my clever and highly energetic kitten very busy. He does not quit till he has both balls out of the box! Not really scratched it though. My adult cat uses it as a bed 😂
Our most successful toy ever
Our cats loved this and have had hours and hours of play time without. A few months on, they have got bored with it but it was great value for money
Does very well
At the reduced price of £4.99 it is good value. My cat loves it and it has lasted very well. She doesn't need catnip with it, she sits on it as it is quite warm and uses it to scratch as well. She even plays with the ball inside sometimes, which is unusual for her. I have never had a cat that likes the posts, so was happy to find this.
I'd buy another if the postage wasn't the same as the price - making it double the cost.

Scratch box
My cats love these but destroy them really quickly. I wish they came with more cat nip. Great toy but not massively good value for money.

So popular with my cat
My cat gets bored with toys very quickly. He is still playing with this months after we bought it, and loves to dig out the small ping pong balls. It also went to the cattery with him when we were on holiday and came back ok!

not good
bought this for the cats to have a fun time with,it lasted seconds not minutes,they made the holes at the top much bigger and nicked the toys and that was it game over,it needs to me a lot stronger,the cats are only 9 months old,good job the older Maine coons didn't have a go

Great success
One of our cats loves this, especially if we poke a feather wand into the holes in the sides and wiggle it. Hours of fun! It's also occasionally used as a scratching pad but is preferred as a toy.

Great fun!
This is a favourite for my cat Buddy. He loves getting the balls out of the holes, it’s quite a challenge! The cardboard scratch pads are always a firm favourite with my cats and to have the bonus of a game included makes this great value!

She loves it.
My cat has always liked cardboard scratching boards, but she loves playing with this one. The only problem is she gets the balls out fairly easily and I have to search around the house for them to put them back. :)
Trash
Rubbish, frankly. Tiny surface which stank of, er, excrement and it was bent when it arrived. The supports were broken on opening the package. A shocking waste of money.

FAB

Absolute must if you have a cat that scratches carpet
Our 3 year old birman has scratched carpets in a few places, recently this has now been everywhere!
Scratch posts all over the house did not stop him, he would use when he felt like but always would still scratch the carpet.
Purchased this box in hope that he would use this instead.
He sniffed and prodded the box over the first week we encouraged him to use the box.
After the first week he slowly but surely used it more and more.
It his is now first place to scratch each and everyday.
Five stars

Stair Carpet Life Saver!
Moment I took this out of the packaging Mr Perkins was onto this. Loves seeking out the toys inside as I guessed he would. Most of all I chose it because his preference is horizontal scratching, and this product is saving my stair carpet from getting ripped to shreds
I'll no doubt be ordering another one in the future once there's nothing left to shred.
Worth it for the bargain price it is!

Great entertainment
This is the best activity toy for my cat, he just goes mad for it! Fantastic value and hours of fun watching him play 😸
Brilliant!
Cat absolutely loved it. It took him about half an hour to figure out how to get the ball out, but we've been putting it back in and he hasn't got bored (or destroyed it) yet. Really pleased with it and really good value for money.
Happy kittens
My new kittens arrived today and wow do they love this! They have spent ages playing with it then fell asleep on top of it too.
I couldn’t find the catnip sachet (I put it somewhere ‘safe’!) but used catnip spray on it).
Such a good buy!
Great value toy
My cat was really pleased with this toy and I think it is really good value for money.

Gave ten minutes of fun
Took my little monsters five minutes to turn it upside down and push it around to distribute the catnip everywhere.
Another five minutes to remove the top and extract the toys from inside.
I doubt it's going to last the night, but they're throughtly enjoying it.
Best thing I've bought for a while
I bought this two months ago, and my two cats are still loving it. They play with it on their own, and we play with it together - try poking a feather waggler through the holes. They like to scratch it and they like to loaf on top. Most toys grow boring quickly, but not this one!

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.

Works
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.

Good choice
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.
