Product Information

Our favorite cardboard scratcher is the PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge, which has a unique shape that gives your cat lots of ways of interacting with it. He’s worked on content spanning the human life cycle, from pregnancy to palliative care and many points in between. We tested 19 of the most popular cat scratching posts available, letting our testers' cats flex their claws as we evaluated everything from build quality to how easy each scratcher was to assemble. A combination of sisal and carpeted scratching surfaces will help to satiate your cat’s instinctual desire to scratch. It's small, light, and comes assembled, so your cat can start scratching and your furnishings can breathe a sigh of relief!

A cumulative score informed our best list and takes into account a cat's willingness to engage, durability, the appeal of the design, special features and toys, and a cat's overall enjoyment of digging their claws in over the duration of the testing period.Age is also a factor, since kittens or young cats are more likely to interact with scratchers that have toy accessories, whereas an older cat may prefer a floor scratcher or something they can stretch out across. Our tester noted that the arc is a great shape for cats to lay out on top of, but a larger cat is a tight squeeze underneath. While some cat scratching posts offer just that, some are equipped with much more, like places to lounge and climb or attached toys for entertainment. The streamlined design incorporates sisal rope—which most cats find irresistible—throughout the center pole and three adjustable platforms.

While the PetnPurr Cactus Cat Scratcher held up well throughout our testing, the wrapped sisal rope doesn't seem like it will hold up as well over time as some of our other sisal picks, such as our overall favorite from SmartCat.

While any size scratcher is likely to attract interest from you cat, picking a scratcher that's tall or long enough for them to fully stretch out against it is a good way of ensuring they're getting the full range of possible activity out of the scratcher. It's an affordable scratching post that's easy to move around, so if your cat likes to follow you into different rooms then this scratching post is a great solution for keeping their idle claws busy and off your sofa.Once you start to notice the scratching surface is wearing out, simply flip it over and your cat has a relatively new surface to sink their claws into. The height is nice too for the cat to be able to reach a higher window or bed that they couldn't reach without it. The top of the Ultimate Scratching Post is 7-inches square, which is the perfect size for placing snacks. The ergonomic shape of this scratching post is appealing to cats, and also reduces the footprint of the toy in your home.

We acquired a selection of the latest and most popular cat scratchers available and sent each one to a staffer with a cat or kitten (sometimes both!Another tester already has had a SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post for years, and his two cats still use it daily.
