The box holds five replaceable scratching pads, so when the top one is shredded you turn it over or swap in a fresh one rather than buying a whole new scratcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCats scratch to stretch and to mark territory. Giving them something they are allowed to destroy tends to be cheaper than reupholstering the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 x corrugated cardboard scratching pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x cardboard lounge box that holds them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox: 42 x 26 x 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach pad: 41 x 24.5 x 2.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: corrugated paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: light brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 1.28 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKittens and average-sized adult cats. The box is 42 cm long, so a large breed such as a Maine Coon will overhang the ends. They can still use the pads perfectly well, they just will not curl up inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum the loose bits every few days. Do not wash it, and keep it out of the rain. It is cardboard, and it will not survive getting wet. When a pad is worn through, flip it over; when both sides have gone, drop in one of the spares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest answers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it make a mess?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, a bit. Every cardboard scratcher sheds small flakes where the cat has been working at it. A quick vacuum sorts it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does a pad last?\u003c\/strong\u003e That depends entirely on the cat. An enthusiastic scratcher can get through one side in a few weeks; a gentler one may take months. Five pads included is the reason we chose this scratcher over a single-pad one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with catnip?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. If you want to encourage them onto it, sprinkle your own over the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a bed or a scratcher?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both, in practice. Plenty of cats scratch the pad and then sit on it. It is not padded or soft, so it is not a replacement for a proper cat bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorrugated paper. The manufacturer lists no coatings or chemical treatments. Cats will chew small pieces off as they scratch, which is normal, but if yours tends to swallow non-food items, supervise them and speak to your vet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeld in our UK warehouse and sent out by UK courier.
