Many cats enjoy cardboard because it has a soft, shreddable texture. This makes it especially suitable for cats that prefer horizontal scratching or cats that like to lie down while scratching.
Based on what we commonly see in-store, cardboard cat scratchers are one of the most popular choices for everyday use. They are affordable, easy to replace and naturally appealing to many cats. A small amount of catnip can also help encourage cats to spend more time scratching and resting on the cardboard surface.
Cardboard scratchers are also useful for smaller homes and apartments because they are easy to move and do not take up much room. If your cat prefers vertical stretching, you may also want to compare our cat scratching posts.
