Cardboard Cat Scratchers Australia | Scratch Pads & Lounges

A good cardboard cat scratcher gives indoor cats a simple, satisfying place to scratch, stretch and relax. For many households, cardboard designs are one of the easiest ways to redirect scratching away from sofas, carpets and door frames while giving cats a surface they naturally enjoy.

At ADS Pet Store, our range of cardboard cat scratchers includes flat scratch pads, curved loungers, scratch beds and hideaway-style designs. These options are lightweight, practical and easy to place around the home.

Read more about cardboard cat scratchers

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.

FAQs – Cardboard Cat Scratchers

Are cardboard cat scratchers good for indoor cats?

Yes. Cardboard cat scratchers are a practical option for indoor cats because many cats enjoy the soft, shreddable texture and low scratching surface.

Can I use catnip on a cardboard cat scratcher?

Yes. A small amount of catnip can help encourage some cats to use a cardboard cat scratcher more often, especially when introducing a new scratcher.

How long does a cardboard cat scratcher last?

It depends on your cat’s scratching habits. Light scratchers may use one for longer, while heavy scratchers may wear cardboard down more quickly.

What is the difference between cardboard scratchers and scratching posts?

Cardboard scratchers are usually lower and better for horizontal scratching, while scratching posts are upright and better for vertical stretching.

VIC Refrigerated Delivery FAQs

How are frozen pet foods kept cold during delivery?

Orders are packed using insulated thermal bags and ice packs to help maintain safe temperatures during transport.

Frozen raw food deliveries are transported under chilled cold-chain conditions (0–5°C) rather than deep-freeze conditions (-18°C). Refrigerated delivery vehicles are designed to maintain stable low temperatures suitable for raw food transport, particularly during warmer weather.

Because products are delivered in chilled conditions, food may occasionally soften slightly or partially thaw, especially around the outer edges. This can sometimes cause the food to feel softer than expected or show moisture when pressure is applied.

Importantly, the product remains within safe food-grade temperature ranges throughout transport. Upon receiving your order, you can place the patties directly back into the freezer to re-freeze without any safety concerns.

Which areas in VIC are eligible for refrigerated delivery?

Refrigerated delivery is available to selected areas across Victoria. Eligibility depends on postcode.
