FUKUMARUCat Scratcher, 68 cm L Shape Cat Scratch Pad Wall Mounted, Cat Scratching Cardboard with Ball Toy for Indoor Cats

Honestly wasn’t sure if this would work, but our cat took to it straight away. The L-shape gives her both a vertical and horizontal surface to scratch, which seems to keep her more engaged than the usual upright posts. Bonus: she also naps on the base like it’s a mini lounger.Assembly was quick (5 minutes with an Allen key), and the build quality is great — no wobble, solid wood, and the scratch pad is replaceable. It also blends in nicely with the room instead of being an eyesore.If you’re trying to save your furniture, this is a really solid investment.

This is an excellent cat scratcher. I have just ordered a second one to replace the one I bought ten months ago (lasted well with two cats!). The cats love it and use it all the time. I love that it is recyclable cardboard with plastic recyclable screws. Very easy to assemble. My only feedback would be it's not necessary to include a metal flat head screwdriver that everyone will have. I have already got two from you now, and will only be amassing more as I re-order.

Very sturdy and good to put at the back of a sofa or chair to encourage them to use it rather than the furniture. My cats scratch the platform more than the upright section, maybe they will use more in time.

The media could not be loaded. I Love this product. You have to put it together but that's easy enough. Made of cardboard so not expecting it to last long but at this price, I'm not above replacing it every few months if it's something that gives the cats good enrichment and this definitely is. It has a ball inside that they can play with but can't get out so that keeps the cats interested in it even if they aren't scratching it, it's not just a scratching post, it's an enrichment tool. Keeps them busy for ages, my biggest boys been trying to get the ball for ten mins now, without losing attention or focus. He will sleep well tonight :) they also like to sit on it and chill. Also I should note, it is fairly weighted and none of my 5 cats have knocked it over even whilst chasing a lazer all round the living room! A scratching post that doesn't fall down that seems ideal for large cats? Yes please :) I would say since I got it a few hours ago, it's been used more than any other toy I have for them including my Lazer robot toy which they go mad for so I'm giving it a 10/10. Wasn't expecting this to be such a hit, really glad I got it :D

Having spent hundreds of pounds over the course of years trying to find toys and beds my cat would enjoy only for him to find more joy in the boxes they came in; this is THE best thing I’ve ever bought for him. He is literally obsessed with it. They obviously do wear out but for how much use he’s had out of it it is worth every single penny. Clever design, lightweight and easy to put together, just doesn’t look “amazing” when it’s quite worn in but a tiny sacrifice for the joy it brings him.

Update 13.10.24: I've updated this from 4 stars to 5 stars because the cat really loves it and is getting great use from it, he's been scratching loads and it's barely worn away at all. This will last much longer than I expected, and compared to other scratching boards this is a fair price and a good product. Will buy another when it eventually needs to be replaced. I've left my original review from a few weeks ago below.Original review: I feel this is quite expensive for what it is. I didn't look closely and thought the main part of it was sisal. But it's cardboard. My fault for not looking closer. However, cat loves it. First he just used it like a chaise longe, laying around on it mainly. But he's worked out he can scratch on it now too. We'll see how long it lasts. If it lasts months and months then maybe price is okay but I can't see it lasting that long.

My cat hasn't shown any interest in this, I've tried encouraging her but to no avail. It's good quality and sturdy. Worth a try.

While this is a great idea, it got worn off by my cats use pretty quickly (he is a big boy). The actual product is very easy to put together, but also quite flimsy - though when the cat sits on it it is not an issue. This does however mean that if used regularly - the actual cork/carton starts wearing off and it's no longer good for use - we decided to flip the piece to the other side, but overall quite short-lived even though it helps save the sofa
