A cat scratchier that my cat loves and that isn't ugly!

My cat loves this! He scratches it, rubs against it, and even just likes to hang out in it. He hardly scratches on things he's not supposed to now. He tore up the first one I bought for him (took about a year of using it every day) so I got him a new one!

Two of my cats love this and two of them turn up their noses.  The two who love it scratch and scratch =--== and that saves the furniture which is a very positive thing.

My cat Bella loves this scratcher. I leave it on the floor, and she is either scratching or sleeping on it. She recently had six kittens and now that they are a little older, they also use it. It's a great product at a very reasonable price.

The quality of this item seems fine, but my cat will have nothing to do with it, even with liberal application of catnip.  I had to go to the store to buy her corrugated cardboard scratchers.  She loves those.

~ EDITED TO ADD ~ After a couple of months of roundly ignoring this scratcher, my cat has decided now that it is her preferred scratching place-- well, after my recliner.  :-P

The scratching toy has good points and bad. For the good, it is holding up very well. For the bad, it is holding up well because the cats aren't all that interested in it. Our cats seem to like the scratchers that are flat. In all sincerity, the product is nice and inexpensive and depending on the cat could work out well. I'll keep it around, who knows they may start using it. For the price it was worth giving it a try.

Both of my cats are really enjoying it. My brown tabby loves anything made with corrugated cardboard so it wasn't much of a surprise that he started scratching it right away. Until now, I've only had a small-ish cardboard scratcher that sits flat on the floor, so he was very happy to have a big scratcher like this that he can actually climb on and sit on. My other cat unfortunately has always preferred my furniture and carpeting, so I was thrilled when he started scratching on this. I'm hoping this will help cut down on his destructive scratching.

Both cats have fun playing on this too, they bat their little mouse toys through the holes on the side of the scratcher and hide behind it to swat at each other. They're not the most active of cats, so I'm glad to find anything that gets them moving and burning calories. The scratcher weighs enough that it stays stable when the cat is scratching on it. My cats are fairly big, 11 and 13 pounds, so they haven't tipped it unless they get really rough with their play. The scratcher looks and feels well made and has a nice design. I can see it lasting a long time compared to a cheaper, lighter weight scratcher.

If your cat isn't used to a scratcher like this, try sprinkling some catnip on it and that usually entices them to use it instead of the corners of the couch or chairs. Most cats seem to like the feel of corrugated cardboard against their feet and nails, so it shouldn't be that hard to get a cat to try it.

This is a good product to consider to give your cat(s) an acceptable place to scratch so hopefully they'll avoid your furniture or carpets. Plus, it's big and stable enough for them to climb, rest or play on. Although it's pricier than the smaller, more basic scratchers, it looks like it will last much longer.

my kitten looooooves this scratch lounger. First thing in the morning after she wakes up she goes straight to scratcher and stretching and scratching for a few minutes!
during the day she like to lounge around it.

My cat doesn't scratch it often but loves going inside the little area that's cut out underneath- which I didn't realize it had until I actually got the item.

My cat is named Bootsy Collins.
She likes to scratch things. Lost her other scratch post in a move. Got her this one and now she no longer terrorizes walls and couches. Mission accomplished

Looks nice, not too intrusive, cat loves to lay on it and scratch it. I do wish there was something at the bottom to catch the catnip which just falls right through.

While my girls were slow to warm to this (as they are with almost everything), both adore it now. I have one cat in particular who prefers scratching cardboard (and of course loves it when we move or get orders in), and purchased this as a great looking alternative to just giving her a box. While it does not provide enough vertical scratch length for her (looking for a scratcher to accomplish this still), it does provide a great horizontal space and a comfortable lounge for her that looks so much nicer than most scratchers, especially for the price point. Purchased back in March of this year and our scratcher (with two female cats, one who is very scratch heavy) is still holding up wonderfully! If your cat(s) enjoys scratching cardboard and is a horizontal scratcher (like carpets for instance or bottoms of things), I really recommend this product or one of the many others PetFusion offers.

I was hesitant but am pleased I bought this for my kitties, I love this scratcher and it looks nice too.

My cat doesn't scratch it.  It comes with catnip, which the cat enjoys, and i put it all over this product.  It's not a total waste, though, because my cat does sleep on it. I'm not inclined to purchase it again because it's just cardboard binded together, but I don't have buyers remorse.

I like it......but my cat loves it.  Rubbing a little catnip into the scratching center area has only added to its' appeal.  A frequently used toy!

It's a good cat scratcher. My cats like it fine. I couldn't get either of them to actually scratch on it as I was taking the picture. Probably because they're cats. The cat you see seems to be assessing his options. Regardless, they like it. I like it as well, but I can't really justify the price. Still, my wife wanted it so here we are. If you buy this item I hope it brings you and yours much enjoyment.

UPDATED 4/25/2013: My cat loves this scratcher and that's the best review there is. I have 2 on two different sides of the living room and she uses both to scratch, sleep, stare at me, clean herself, and play from 2 different vantage points. This scratcher is good for those kitties who are not so much into climbing, but like to laze around floor level like a jungle cat on the Savannah.

I give this scratcher one star; my cat would give it 5: ergo, a compromise of 3 stars. It is flimsy yet she loves it so much that there are scratched off cardboard pieces around it. She sits in it, sleeps in it, almost lives in it. Funny, tho, it has to be in one place and one place only or else she ignores it. I wonder why. I bought the super deluxe $49.95 scratcher to replace this one, but she won't touch it, even if it is in the same spot as the flimsy one. I thought she would like it since the concept is the same and it is much sturdier, but no. She has to have this one and where she wants it. I tried leaf catnip, spray catnip and treats on the better one to no avail. This is the one she won't use.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/PetFusion-Cat-Scratcher-Lounge-Deluxe-Walnut-Brown/dp/B004X6UEH6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">PetFusion Cat Scratcher Lounge - Deluxe (Walnut Brown)</a>&nbsp;Look how much better it is! I would give it 5 stars for durability, etc. She would give it zero. Today I stood this one up and leaned it on a corner wall. Maybe she'll use it that way. At least it's out of the way. Oh, well. C'est le vie. Meow.
