AMZNOVA Cat Scratcher Rescratch Cat Scratching Board, Scratch Pad with Catnip for Indoor, Flat Cardboard Scratcher Scratch Board For Kitten, Narrow, Textured Black

I have 2 cats so I bought 2 so in theory they would have 1 each - yes they're cats so we all know how that theory worked out - silly me! First off they went absolutely mad for the catnip especially the big cat (the black one called George) I couldn't get it open fast enough for him and ended up with 10 layers of skin missing & catnip everywhere!! Once I'd added the catnip, the cats did what cats do and loved the boards, rubbing themselves against & over them etc. George then decided they were both his & every time the little cat (black & white one called squirt) went near one of the boards he would bat him away. Once the catnip effect wore off, George completely ignored them! George however ignores everything other than dreamies and catnip so this was no surprise! Squirt on the other hand has made them his new home (he's asleep on one of them as I write this). He loves them, he spends his day laying or sitting on them and uses them to scratch - yay Squirt! He even remained laying on one of them while I hoovered instead of running away and hiding in one of the many scattered about tunnels like usual. He is rewarded with a dreamies treat when he scratches on them, much to George's annoyance, and has not scratched anything else since. George is still using the old futon as his scratch post and get annoyed with no dreamies treat for doing so - he will learn, eventually! He has started to sit on them and sometimes lie on them so he has started to accept them invading his domain. I have tried to get a photo of Squirt scratching them but as soon as I move to take the photo, he stops scratching! I will add that a day or 2 after getting them George decided it would be fun to upend a newly filled water bowl over one of them, I was concerned how this would affect them as they are cardboard but I popped it up out of their reach to allow it to dry & it is as robust as it was before its' fight with the water bowl. I found that excellent & it said a lot about the good quality of them. Whilst I am only getting a 50% success rate in terms of them being used for scratching at present, I'm still happy to give them 5 stars for everything because of how much Squirt loves them and George seems to be coming around to them & I think will soon start to use them other than for a sun lounger! The 4 photos with the hoover in view were taken today - Squirt still hasn't moved from that spot!

Purchase these up to 4 times a year, when they wear out. Yes cardboard does get everywhere but have tried several less messy ones that went to cat charity, as they looked sniffed and walked off. Every day first thing in the morning they go for these and several times a day. They sleep on them, Play on them and it saved my stair carpet as since getting these they have not once scratched the carpet. Is a must in your cat household. One tiny thing, they come in different side colours that make no difference to your cat, I’m sure, but certain colours cost more than others??? I always go for whatever colour is cheapest as I have to buy 2 ever time. They all look nice and the girls love them in the garden if it’s nice. Definitely 👍 recommended.

Cats love this product , good value for money

Great board for my cat, who was prone to sharpening her claws in the carpets. The brown cardboard does come away quite easily, so hoovering around and near the board is required on a daily basis, but it's a small price to pay for intact carpets. Board seems to be lasting well, and once it gets too worn down, it can just be turned over. I anticipate it lasting approx. a year before needing replacing - but this depends on how much your cat uses it! Mine uses it multiple times daily.

Similar to what many people have said in other reviews. When it came it seemed like it’s just a bit of hard cardboard, but my cat absolutely loves it and has stop scratching on the chairs. She also like sitting on it. It is a tough cardboard and of course when the cat continually scratches on it bits of cardboard will come off and I’m sure that after some time I will have to replace it, though of course I will let her scratch up one side and then turn it over and then she’s got the other side to scratch, so I’m sure it will last quite some time before I need to replace it. I love the fact you can choose a colour on the side which matches the area that you want to put the scratch board in. This is brilliant and the best scratching cat item I have ever bought and it’s not an eyesore in my front room.

This was expensive compared to other cardboard cat scratchers I have bought. Don't waste your money.

One of my cats Cymmi is a demon for scratching. With a cat tree activity centre and scratching posts he still preferred to use my sofas and other furniture. Plus the odd unsuspecting cardboard box lying around. I tried everything to stop him scratching my leather sofa but being the demon he is nothing worked. Until I came across this scratcher. I was looking for something else to distract him with. When I saw this one it stood out, a lot of the reviews said it worked but these cats in the reviews weren't Mr Cymmi. As it was made of cardboard I thought I could try it. I bought it when it was on offer so got it a little cheaper then usual. As he had shredded a fair few cardboard boxes it might have done the trick. When it arrived I placed it flat next to the sofa. Initally neither of them was impressed. Even catnip couldn't entice him. So I thought I'd play him at his own game, whenever I told him not to scratch something he did it more. So one evening when I caught him using it I gave a firm "No" wouldn't you know it hey presto it worked. He's used it ever since, although now he gets a "good boy" when I see him using it. I bought it in March and it still has some wear left in it. It is double sided so once he has completely obliterated one side I can just turn it over. As it's cardboard you do get a fair bit of mess but this really isn't a big problem. I'm much happier cleaning up torn cardboard then trying to fix deep scratches in leather furniture. Overall I'm really impressed by it and as both cats now use it it's been a life saver.

This is a replacement for the one that has been shredded by the family feline. (Thank goodness the furniture hasn't been!). She loves it and ignores the bigger one that's there in the same vicinity. I fully recommend
