AGYM Cat Scratcher Cardboard Box for Indoor Cats 5 Packs in 1, Cat Scratching Pad Cardboard Box for Indoor Cats and Kitten, Large Size Cat Scratch Pad Board Easy for Cats to Scratch

I like that the scratching pad is a little wider than most as my cats like to lie on them. I do wish they were a little longer as well.

So pleased to find that these cat scratchers will fit in a cardboard bed frame that I purchased some time ago that held a scratcher, but came with no refills. My cat really loves these scratchers. She uses them quite often and they hold up well. You can turn them over and use the other side when the top is too shredded up. I find that sprinkling a little catnip on them helps my cat get acclimated to the scratcher at first. The price is great for this set of 5, would cost much more in any retail discount store. Recommend this if you have a cat that likes to scratch- will save your furniture for sure.

My cats had another scratching pad that was a bit better quality. The cardboard was a little denser. However, it cost about twice the price of one of these pads. So, for the price, Im pretty happy with this pack. Now that I have five of them, I can spread a few about the house. Also, the images shown depict the item exactly. You shouldnt be disappointed when you receive it. Too often the product doesnt seem to match the photos provided but thats not the case with this item.

I had never gotten one of these corrugated cardboard cat scratchers before. I picked up one and gave it to my cat to sniff at. She wasnt too interested. I put it on the bed where she was andI scratched on it with my hands. She wasnt too interested in it. I grabbed one of her paws and did a scratching motion on the pad. She wasnt too interested in it. I put it on the ground and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water and before i was half way there i started to hear my cat scratching the pad. I looked back and she was really going at it. Then she looked up and saw that i was watching her. So she went back to the bed and acted uninterested. Five stars.

The cats liked them once catnip was added, before they ignored the scratch pads. Nice size, the depth of the pads is good & the price is great! No unpleasant odors to the cardboard. Will buy again.

Have used these before and they are great

I did my homework when I was looking for cat scratchers. My cats like this type, but the singles that are sold in stores are too expensive. I bought a different brand on Amazon last year, but its not sold anymore. I gave this one a try and my cats really like it. I sprinkle a little catnip on it to encourage them to use it instead of the carpet or furniture. The box is just a regular cardboard box. Its not reinforced like the other brand I was buying, so the corner ripped sooner than I wouldve liked. No big deal. For a five pack of these boards, you cant beat the price.

Cats can (and WILL!) use ANYTHING to clean and sharpen their nails -- Furniture, wooden doorframes, carpets, ANYTHING! But for some reason they can, and do, use cardboard, whether it is a box full of stuff sitting in a corner, or a mat like this one laid out on the floor for their specific use. Weve had cat scratcher pads for almost as long as weve had cats, and I STILL dont know for sure what makes a good one, or a bad one. These scratch pads are a bit shorter (see picture) than the usual size weve gotten (I kind of think of that as a bad point), but they are definitely more tightly weaved than the ones in current use (and I tend to think that will prove to be a very, very good point for them). I made a heavy box frame to put the cat scratchers into to help hold them down (make them a bit less mobile and not skid around on the linoleum floor), but it is longer than these scratch pads by about 2 inches. These pads are also a bit thinner (1-inch versus 1.5-inches) so they do not fill the home-made box as well. I believe the thinner size will not affect anything, as I have cut some old ones apart and they generally tear up between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch of the thickness from each side, so we should still be able to flip these over and get double-sided use out of them. Overall, since cats can use solid objects like wood as scratching posts, I think the most important attribute of scratching pads is the density of the weave, and these have the other guy beat hands down in that category (see picture). If I had gotten these years ago, and built my box for this length, I would probably give 5 stars, but due to the empty spot caused by the shortness of these pads versus the other guy, I feel I have to hold back one star. (Is there any way to get Cat Scratch Pads standardized so everybody makes the same size?!?)

When I ordered these, this listing was for three inserts and no box. Thats what Im (and several others) are reviewing. I measured the width on these and they matched my standard-sized scratchers, so I got these as replacements. What I didnt check was the length — they are about an inch too short. Ill have to wedge them to use them, but my cats probably wont care. They love cardboard scratchers, so these will make the run through the claw-mill and scatter their ashes throughout the house, and my cats will love it, and I will tolerate it. :)

I have a 13 lb Maine Coon cat. Shes a thick kitty, and bigger-boned than the average female housecat. Ive noticed a lot of these cardboard scratchers on the market are really skinny, and the cardboard can be bad quality with burrs everywhere. These are a good large size, so my cat can actually scratch it while comfortably standing on it. She took to it immediately, scratching it all up and taking a nap on it. She always has a cardboard scratcher in the house, and they can be of such varying costs and quality. This set of five scratching boards is such a great value for the quality of the cardboard. There are no decorative paper sides on the boards like some others have, but I would rather have quality cardboard over a decorative side. I dont know why they are so expensive in a brick-and-mortar, but I will for sure be repurchasing these again here on Amazon in the future. My cat says theyre 5 stars!
