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.

All three are crazy about it.
I've bought this scratching furniture many times before. My three can never get enough of it. Scratching, claiming it, squabbling over who gets to use it first. The little one loves the balls, my middle one scratches, and if they can't reach it, the corrugated cardboard gets shredded. The big one likes to take naps on it.
It definitely won't be the last one I buy.
I'm happy with it, and mine are kept entertained.

In use for 5 years
I was just browsing and rediscovered this gem. We now have 3 cats, 2 British Shorthairs and a 6-month-old Fold girl.
Five years ago, I bought this box, and it’s still standing strong. My cat mainly uses it to lie on. Woe betide one of the other two if they try to claim her throne! But all three still play with it. I hide toys in the holes, and they fish them out. I’d buy it again and again! But for now, it’s still holding up.

The openings are too large.
The board was played with straight away. Unfortunately, our cat managed to fish the balls out through the openings within 5 minutes. That was the end of the toy for him. It would be better if the balls were larger than the openings...

Amazing and fat cat approved!
This type of product is an all time favourite to our 3 cats! The other more expensive options from other pet stores are awful quality in comparison to this! They are super strong and withstand a 6.5kg Maine coon cat to sleep on top! They love to play with these, scratch them and even sleep on them!

My cat loves it.
Uses it intensively, but unfortunately it's not really suitable for heavy cats (6kg) – it broke in the middle. A solution could be to add a support beam in the centre. I'll buy it again if the middle becomes more stable :)

Both think it's great!
At first, both of them loved playing with it, but now only he does, and very enthusiastically at that. However, they both still use it extensively for scratching, and even after more than half a year, it continues to serve its purpose. Absolutely recommendable! :)

OK for scratching
Its not expensive (about the same as a similar one in a big high street pet store) so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but it does the job as a scratch pad and my cat likes to sit on it as well, as its raised a bit off the floor.
I'm slightly worried about the balls inside - after the first couple of days I found one on the floor, and yesterday I saw him reach in and hook one out quite easily. I'm not sure whether they are meant to come out and are safe for unsupervised play.

Long-term favourite
This was part of the starter kit for my kittens and has been constantly played with, scratched, and – when I take the balls out at night for the sake of my lovely neighbours – happily used as a sleeping box ever since. They're now 8 months old. Unbeatable for the price.

Super toy
.......not just for scratching, our tomcat plays with it a lot. I keep putting different toys inside, preferably fabric mice.

Broke immediately
My hen was really excited to sit on it, but it broke right in the middle. So much for the fun of playing.
She still lies on it, but that's about it. What a shame.

Favourite toy
My tomcat took to it straight away and is absolutely fascinated. He plays with it every day and loves it.
I would definitely recommend it.

Affordable gaming fun
Our little tomcat started playing with it straight away. Even after two weeks, the product hasn’t lost its appeal for him.

Very useful
All my cats love it. They play with it, they sleep on it, they are always somewhere near it

Super, unfortunately, no replacement cardboard available yet.
My cats love this thing!! For scratching, playing, and as a bed.
I’d be delighted if the cardboard insert could be ordered separately. That way, you wouldn’t have to keep replacing the whole frame, saving money and reducing waste.
The price has been fine so far, but I do start to feel a bit uneasy when it goes over 6 euros. A cheaper replacement insert would help here too.

Great value for money
Our cats fished out the play balls within 10 minutes and started playing with them. The scratching board is being used a lot, even as a lounging spot. I’ll definitely order it again – I’m very happy with it. It’s a big hit with my furry friends.

Toy
It's a great toy and also something for scratching.
I've had very good experiences with it.
Highly recommended, it's well received.

Already bought for the second time
My cat managed to get the balls out in no time at all – such a shame the holes are so big. Otherwise, she absolutely loves it. Once all the balls were constantly out, I removed the attachment, and since then she’s just been lying in the box, chewing on the edges. It’s a big hit – time for a new one. Value for money is unbeatable!

Still like new :-(
My two cats haven’t scratched it even once in the past eight months, even though they love other cardboard scratching boards.
If I put treats in the box, they’ll paw at the holes a bit... but that’s about it.
Unfortunately...
The product itself looks high-quality (which is why I’m still giving it 3 stars), and I can’t find anything about it that would make it unappealing to the cats.

Top! Scratching furniture and toy in one
My two cats used the scratching cardboard both for playing and scratching.
They weren’t too bothered about fishing the ball out of the holes. I just popped it back in, and they could start playing again.
I think it’s great that the cardboard scraps fell into the box surrounding the cardboard. That meant there weren’t too many scraps lying around on the floor.
To ensure even use of the cardboard, I regularly turned it over until it was so shredded that it broke apart.

My cat’s favorite
Very good product. So far my cat’s favorite as he can do anything with it; play, sleep on it, scratch.
