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

Id you have cats you know what a necessity scratchers are and these are a bargain. These are good quality and come in a pack of 5. I currently have 2 cats so we go through them pretty quickly but thats a small price to pay for no scratched furniture. Since these do not come with a box surrounding then I just put a rag rug or floor mat underneath and then theres no mess.

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?!?)

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.

I have 4 cats who love to scratch up my kitchen chairs. I got these with the hopes that they would use them instead. It took a little while, but eventually they got the hang of it, and now its all they use! I took some nice double sided tape and put it on the back of the scratching board, then put them in the places where they like to scratch and claw. The one in the picture is right by my kitchen next to their catnip things. If you have cats, I highly recommend you getting these because my cats not only use them for scratching, but they will also lay down and sleep on them too. With all the damage that these 4 can do, I still have yet to have to replace one, so you can tell that they are definitely durable and made with good material. Because trust me, these 4 can do some serious damage!! If you have a furbaby, I would definitely get these and save your furniture from further damage. I promise your cats will love them.

These cardboard panels are double-sided essentially, so we get 2 uses out of each one. The value is the best Ive found yet since my cats prefer the cardboard scratchers. We took the first few layers out so the cardboard shreds would be more likely to stay in the box.

These were such a great value. Im surprised at how quickly our cats use up things like these and so far they are holding up much better than any other ones we have bought. Great value and surprisingly well made and last great!

These are your basic, run of the mill, everyday cat scratcher pads. Perfect for my cats needs. They are very simple. My cat LOVES his cardboard scratcher pads, to the point that he gets upset when I change them out. He thinks Im stealing his stuff lol. But when he realizes Im getting him a new one, he gets happy! He was really happy to see this big pack. They come 5 in a pack and are really sturdy. When one side gets dull and scratched out, I simply flip it over (when the cats not looking) and theres a nice fresh side to destroy. These are long lasting too. Only downside is they dont come with a packet of catnip like other brands. Not a big deal though. I have plenty of catnip to sprinkle on the board and kitty loves it! Great buy for your cat!

These are bit taller and 2.5x wider than the ones we used to buy from a local store. They were packaged perfectly and seem to be a good value. Nothing fancy but they get the job done. One of our kitties prefers these basic type of scratching pads. It would have been nicer if catnip was included but overall happy with the pads.

Well made and arrived with no bangs or dings. Slinky the Shy jumped right on them as soon as they hit the floor!

This cat scratching area is composed of 5 separate corrugated cardboard pieces that are stacked on each other inside a larger box. It comes with some catnip to sprinkle in the corrugation holes, and Bingo! Kitty goes right for it and exercises his sharp little claws like crazy. We do not want him to scratch furniture, so if he goes to a chair, we pick him up and redirect to this box. The board pieces are reversible, so it is like buying 10 surfaces. If one board gets really worn out, toss it and go to the next one. Genius!
