Product Description

Scratch, stretch, attack and repeat. A cat toy scratcher works harder than a plain pad because it gives your cat two reasons to come over instead of one. This is 48cm of corrugated cardboard with a batting toy fixed to one end, and a refill insert so the frame outlasts the surface.

Why a Cat Toy Scratcher Beats a Plain Pad

A scratcher only earns its keep if the cat goes to it. That is the whole problem, and an attached toy is the cheapest way round it. The toy pulls your cat over and the cardboard does the rest. Within a week or two the visit has become a habit. Put a plain pad in a spare corner and it stays pristine for months, which is not the result anyone wanted.

Cat Scratcher With Toy on the End

The batting toy is fixed to the frame, so it does not get carried off under the sofa the way a loose ball does. Most cats bat it first and scratch second. Kittens and young cats tend to stay with the toy longer, older cats get straight to the cardboard.

Corrugated Cat Scratcher Lounge, 48cm Long

Corrugated cardboard is the surface most cats pick when offered a choice. It tears away in strips under the claw, and the mess that it makes is part of why they like it. 48cm gives room for a full horizontal stretch, which is most of what scratching is for: lengthening the spine and shedding the outer claw sheath, not sharpening anything.

Cat Scratcher Refill, So the Frame Outlives the Cardboard

The scratch pad refills rather than being thrown away. Most corrugated scratchers get binned entirely once one side is shredded. This one gets a new insert and the old one goes in the recycling, which is a good deal less waste. If you want an upright surface alongside it, the cat scratchers range has posts for cats that work vertically too.

Do Cats Prefer Scratchers With a Toy Attached?

Mostly yes, though not because the toy matters in itself. What matters is getting the cat to the scratcher at all, and a toy does that faster than anything except catnip. Once the habit is formed the toy becomes incidental.

Can you replace a cat scratcher pad? On this one, yes. The insert lifts out and a new one drops in. On most corrugated scratchers you cannot, which is why they end up in the bin whole.

How often should you replace a cat scratcher? When the surface stops gripping and your cat starts going elsewhere. A refillable frame changes the maths, because you are buying the insert rather than the whole thing again.

Do cardboard cat scratchers make a mess? Yes. Small strips come away every time a cat uses one, and that is the surface working as intended. Site it somewhere you can run a vacuum over.

The best cardboard cat scratcher for most homes is a refillable one. Non-refillable pads cost less at the till and then go in the bin whole.

M-PETS Reno Cat Toy Scratcher FAQs

How do I replace the scratch pad insert?

Lift the worn insert out of the frame and drop a new one in. No tools and no assembly, and the old insert goes in the recycling.

Is the batting toy attached or removable?

Attached to the frame rather than loose, which is deliberate. A loose toy ends up under the sofa within a day.

Will a 48cm lounge fit a full grown cat?

48 x 20 x 12cm. An average adult can lie along it and get a full forward stretch. A long bodied cat will overhang at both ends, which does not stop them using it but is worth knowing before you order.

Do cats prefer a scratcher with a toy attached?

Most do at first. The toy is what gets them over to it, and that is the hard part of owning one. After a few weeks most cats are there for the cardboard and the toy is a bonus.

Can the used cardboard go in recycling?

The insert is plain corrugated board, so yes, once you have shaken the loose debris out of it. Flatten it first. The frame stays and takes the next one.
