151 reviews for3-in-1 Scratching Board for Cats

Today I received the product with the package and was already thrilled while unpacking it! Of course, I haven’t tested it yet, so I can’t say anything about its durability, but I think it looks really great and also feels high-quality! I also love that you can use it both as a scratching board and as a scratching corner. I would buy it again!

The scratching board serves its purpose, looks appealing, and also seems to be quite sturdily made. Only the mounting and the supplied screws could use some improvement.

I've used double side tape and stuck this to the bottom stair for the time being as Mr P was attacking it. He's scratched at it a few times, but his preference is the cardboard scratcher I got at the same time which he now goes to instead. Still, I'd say this is a success as my carpet isn't now getting torn to shreds

Ignored by the cat.

Super value for money. Looks great, doesn’t bother me at all on the wall since the colour is very appealing. I bought two of them: one for the corner in the entrance and one that’s placed on the floor near the sleeping area. That way, our kitty can sharpen her claws right after waking up and won’t wear out the carpet like she used to.

Easy to attach, fits anywhere. Our cat accepted it straight away.

We have plenty of cat trees but Colin, my eldest at 11½, prefers horizontally scratching my carpet even more so now that we've just had new carpets fitted. This has been a big hit, he started using it within a second of me putting it down. It's great value for money, on sale or not! I'll definitely be buying more. The only reason that I gave 4 not 5 is, as said by others, the tabs are a bit flimsy but this wasn't a problem for me as I just secured it by nailing it through the board itself.

I can only say I'm glad I bought this scratching board. After a year, I had to hang it a bit higher because my cat had grown. Reinstalling it was no problem at all. With lots of love, wild Mathilde has turned into well-behaved Tilli. Brigitta Dopona

The board has been accepted by the cats as a "doorbell" at a corner of the wall near the patio door. As previously mentioned, the intended mounting is useless, so I didn’t even bother using it. Instead, I drilled through the four corners and secured it to the wall with sheet metal screws and proper wall plugs. This way, it should also be replaceable.

The zoolove scratching board was delivered with unsuitable screws – the supplied screws don’t fit into the eyelets intended for mounting. Even other standard screws were too thick, so in the end, a makeshift solution had to be used (removing the eyelets, adding a metal washer plus a new screw). The board itself is lovely, serves its purpose, and is accepted by my cats.

... if it's already well-known that the old eyelets don't hold, WHY doesn't the manufacturer just save on them and instead drill four holes so they can be attached properly? Just a suggestion, so the plush doesn't keep wrapping around the drill during installation and the men don't keep grumbling about what the woman wants... *smile*

I’m still absolutely convinced by this product and can only recommend buying it. My chunky Mori sits on it, jumps on it, and scratches like there’s no tomorrow! BRILLIANT! You can’t see a thing (except for the scraped-off tips of his claws). As mentioned, the scratching boards, which I now have in the hallway and living room, were secured directly to the wall at all four corners with sturdy screws. (The ones provided are rubbish!). FANTASTIC! The size, thickness, and quality are spot on. Again and again!

Now unlike the other reviews, I cut the loops off and I drilled straight through the sisal and board to attach them to my pews that my Ginge was merrily destroying the corners of... Now they work brilliantly like this, however, the one draw back for me is the fur section - the cats have ripped through this and now they're a mess. if it were sisal all over, there'd be no problem - they'd last a lot longer. Still, they all use them and love them so replacements it is!

The mounting is rubbish, as has often been mentioned before. We followed the advice of several previous reviewers and secured the board firmly to the wall using sturdy screws directly through the corners. It's been holding up rock-solid for over a year now. Our two cats absolutely love the scratching board and tear at it like crazy. The plush heart has also held up so far. So, a clear recommendation from us – we've already ordered more for other favourite corners...

Motsy loves this scratching board. We've now attached it to the sofa, where she used to scratch all the time. She's always busy with it, especially at the end of her 5-minute sessions :-) After two years, I’ve bought a new one because the sisal was pretty worn out, and I don’t want her swallowing any of the loose threads.

Hello there! On 30/01/17, I ordered 5 of these due to renovation work in my hallway, at a price of EUR 7.99 (!!!). They are super sturdy; absolutely no comparison to what you find in local pet shops. There, they either didn’t have any boards in stock or only ones I didn’t want, so I decided to order them. The size and thickness really impressed me. The eyelets are useless though. They can’t support a 6 kg British cat. But I knew that beforehand; in my case, they’re secured directly through the sisal at all four corners.

Fastened at all four corners with screws (the ones that come with it are rubbish). In the favourite scratching corner in the hallway, I now have three stacked on top of each other. Nice and large, with sturdy sisal strips... plenty of room for scratching, and hopefully no more wallpaper will get shredded. Cheers!

My two Bengals love these boards. We've hung two directly on top of each other so they can climb up. If you attach them using the provided eyelets, they wobble, and the fixings can sometimes come off. Now we’re drilling straight through the sisal, or whatever it is. A screw in each corner, and then it’s properly secure.

On the second day, the plush border was torn apart by the claws... The sisal is now hanging loose, and the plush as well. In my opinion, the plush is only there to make it look nice for the tiger owner. The cat only needs the scratching board. Plain scratching boards are available from another supplier for seven euros, sturdy and simple. The mounting isn’t worth its name. I drilled holes through the board to secure it firmly in the corner of the room.

...it's obvious that the plush won't hold up! You'd need a ship's rope attached for the little kitty to survive that... that's just the life of a cat! It's all about the scratching ability, isn't it? The plush is just there to lure them in!
