My cat loves scratching on cardboard, but she completely ignores the petfusion cardboard scratcher. I think its the shape she dosen't like. My cat is like Forest. She like the flat cardboard scratcher thats less durable.

First put all near YOU and areas around where you spend time like the couch. I’ve done this and amazingly they love all their scratchers. I was shocked. It works.

My cats love to sit and nap on the flat cardboard "scratchers". They don't scratch them much, but do spend a lot of time sitting on them, so we have several scattered around the house for them. They prefer to scratch sisal and carpet surfaces...and of course furniture fabrics and wood.

Maybe they just like fabric more than the "rope" on the scratchers? You can get another scratcher for them made of fabric, perhaps? 😆 Edit: Ah, yes. No my cat doesn't like CARDBOARD either. I just use rope-types.

Oh goodie, I accidentally bought the number 1 pick--except mine has the base and top plate covered with a plush material. The cats love to sit on top of the top. When one starts scratching on it, the other runs over and scratches too. They don't use it a ton, but they also have three cat trees of different heights that are covered with sisel rope--which they tend to use more often. They also have the flat box type scratcher that they use from time to time. Great review! Thank you.

We have the pet fusion cardboard scratcher and three adult male kitties that use it multiple times per day. It usually lasts us 6-9 months flipping it over from time to time to get equal wear. They love to lounge on it too and look out the window or sleep in the sun. One thing we do is when it’s ready for the trash pile, we cut it in half with a handsaw (not hard but ask hubby to do it) and now we get to use the inside. Seems such a waste to design it that way and not figure out how to get more from it. We put the cut halves in other areas of the house. If there is a negative, it’s the amount of mess the flaked off pieces of cardboard create. Will check out a vertical scratcher from your list here. The one with a perch looks like a winner! Thanks for your informative videos, Mallory.

I like this design better than the one Mallory reviews for this reason. I also tip it over so it's like a box, throw a few toys in and they love to play with it that way too jumping in and out and use it as a "hidey hole" 😻

I have the pet fusion lounge and I can say my one cat has "claimed" it and she loves it... she scratches the heck out of it... it's lasted a good while so far and I did have to "flip it"... I will say though that it was slightly "sharp" in area's... the rounded ends can have "sharp" areas on it that I found scratchy but she loves it... And she more sits on it than scratches it but she does scratch it... the over cat doesn't really pay it any mind.

We got the Midwest Grand Forte for our two boys. Our one boy always seemed to hit the platforms on the undersides of our cat trees, like he really wanted to go higher but couldn't. He LOVES stretching as high as he possibly can on the Midwest. We put it next to the leather chair they really liked scratching, and new damage has nearly stopped. I can see how it would very much depend on how your cats personality is. For our big boy who loves to stretch up, it was perfect. Our other boy loves chasing toys up the side, and he's definitely gone hard at it and I've NEVER been worried about it tipping on him, and he's 15 pounds right now.

I guess some of this personal taste and what your cat likes. I have the Pioneer Pet SmartCat Ultimate Cat Scratcher in grey and I LOVE IT and so does my cat. In the grey the sisal fabric is also grey. He went to it right away no catnip needed. I've had it for 2 months and it still looks brand new like he's never used it when it fact he uses multiple times a day. It's VERY easy to put together, just screw the base to the post. It is very sturdy and my cat climbs it daily and hangs off it and it doesn't move. My cat is not a small cat he's a 12lb. Ragdoll. You listed as a con that it wasn't aesthetically pleasing but I love the look, sleek and modern IMO. I do like the look of the grey much better than the white. The Midwest post is the one I find pretty ugly. The only improvement I would make to the Pioneer Pet Smartcat is to make the top platform bigger. My cat wants so bad to get up there and sit but it's a bit too small for him to get up on. You said a cat could sit on the top of the Midwest post but I find that hard to believe as it looks smaller than the top of the Pioneer Pet post. My cat loves the sisal fabric. His cat tree has several posts with the sisal rope and he never uses them for scratching. He actually gets off his tree and goes over to the Pioneer Pet Scratcher with the sisal fabric. I wanted something that didn't have any carpet like material on it as I didn't want him to get use to scratching anything that would make him want to scratch my carpets/furniture. I also got him at Christmas something similar to the FatCat BigMama Scratchy Box because they were doing a sale and got it for $2.50 so worth a try for that price. I got him a flat one and curved one. To my surprise he loves the flat one not only does he use it to scratch but he lays on it all the time as a bed in fact he scratches mostly when he wakes up after napping on it and stretches. It's been about a month and a half so far and it's held up pretty well to my surprise and I don't have pieces of cardboard all over the place either. He doesn't like the curved one as much we'll see if he uses it down the road. Like I said above my cat and I are both thrilled with the Pioneer Pet Smartcat Ultimate cat scratcher. Well worth the price and I believe it will last a long long time.

Of my cats and my moms cats, 3/6 adore the catit lounger (green one) over anything else, including other cardboard scratchers. In fact we had to buy another one for my mom because her boy was defending it from her other cat and wouldnt let her use it. My eldest has been working on 3 for about 6 months, only one is due for a change out. I'm looking for a good leather scratcher for my middle child who only goes after vinyls and soft leathers - which happens to be furniture. Also worth noting we put it flat side down or the weight will break the core and snap the middle

The same company also makes one that's kind of ramp shaped/inclines that comes with some boingy upright cat toys you insert at the top. My cats love that one. If I recall correctly the scratching part is reversible but it's been a while since I bought one as am having to kind of cheap out while unemployed and they're about $16-$17.

(Just buy a one fast cat) I built a wheel from wood, and I bought a one fast cat years later for my sister's cats, it's a decent product and it cost less then building mine, and it's not heavy so if it falls for some reason which isn't likely it won't hurt the cat... also not being heavy helps a cat slow it down ....mine bail off the one inbuilt them when it gets going cause they can't stop it lol My cats kill carpet and twine scratchers in months...... card board would be tinny pieces all over the room and in my cats poop lol......if you have a Bengal or any other super active cat that maybe has some body weight and likes to scratch your going to just bleed through scratching posts and cat tree's just to keep the furniture safe lol

When the corrugated cardboard scratchers first became available in different configurations, including little houses, I tried it and decided it wasn’t for me. Although I realize the companies are doing what I’m not, which is do adhere cardboard side by side, to create these items, I felt the cost was too much for cardboard and, worse than that, was all the vacuuming. Like I’d have to be content with buying a cardboard scratcher AND a bot vac, that automatically cleaned up the mess made by these. What I am working towards and do know that I have to do, is to buy the right sisal scratchers though. My male cat enjoys the curved one that has been long offered by Target and I still have 2 of the ones that were adhered to wood, which they no longer carry. I also have a sisal tube that the cats can go into. But it’s only the male cat that uses the curved one and my female cats just used the carpeting, When she gets frustrated and I sometimes have to clip her nails as, she grows barbs that have probably pulled every thread in the house. So, I have to do better there. I didn’t know that cats feel most comfortable with the type of scratcher they started with but, hopefully, I can find something sisal, that they’ll both enjoy using.

Any scratcher your cat enjoys should help to slough off the outer layers of their claws, but you may also want to use nail clippers to dull the tips.

my cat likes more carpet-feeling scratchers. i actually had the pioneer scratcher on my amazon wish list bc it looks like it feels like carpet. so my question is, does it feel a little bit like carpet material and not like the standard rope-type scratchers?

I have the Pioneer Pet Smartcat scratcher and me to me the sisal fabric does not have the same feel as carpet. Carpet is generally soft and the sisal fabric is rough, different feel than the sisal rope but still a rough feeling.

With scratchers, it takes time for a cat to accept and use. It can take a couple months so using your cats as testers isn't a good idea. My cats that I've had through out my life loved the first cat scratchers. I'm going to

There are a lot of factors that may contribute to your cat's weight gain, so I would try to get a handle on what is happening by weighing your cat, getting a handle on his daily caloric intake, and tracking his exercise.

I moved in with my mom in July 2021who passed away in March 2022. While slowly transitioning my & my fur baby's live from my apartment to her house with her fur babies I brought along the "Cat It" lounger. The #FunkyFour love it. They've been using it for MONTHS. They love it 😻‼️I have only sprinkled the catnip on it that one/first time. I noticed the host seemed to have it upside down Our babies like to drop their paws 🐾 over the rises or use them like pillows. All 4 change shifts to use it. I had a 2nd one but gave it to my cousin todaybecause she has a couple of new fur babies so I'm waiting to hear their review 😹
