Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Best Scratch Furniture For Indoor Cats?

Tired of constantly replacing cat scratch furniture? Looking for a unique way to keep your cat entertained and happy?  Cardboard is the answer, and our designs are here to save the day! 

​If you’re looking for scratch furniture that doesn’t look like an eyesore in your living room, here’s what matters. We create furniture your cat loves — and you’re proud to show. ​

What Makes Cardboard Scratch Furniture So Effective?

Cats naturally need to scratch to:

  • Maintain healthy claws

  • Stretch muscles

  • Mark territory

  • Relieve stress​

 

High-density cardboard provides the ideal resistance for deep, satisfying scratching — without damaging your walls, carpets, or furniture.

​​

Our scratch surfaces are engineered for durability and comfort, making them suitable for everything from playful kittens to large breeds.

Is Cardboard Strong Enough for Large Cats?

Yes — when it’s made properly.

We use dense, structural corrugated board designed to withstand consistent use. Many of our customers have large breeds and comment on the longevity of our products.​

How Long Does Your Scratch Furniture Last?

So, how long do our products last? It's like asking, ' How long is a piece of string? '! Durability depends on factors like the number of cats you have, their energy levels, and their playful antics, but our high-density construction is designed for long-term use — far beyond the lifespan of lightweight scratch pads. With longer-lasting quality, you get real value for your money. 

Is It Eco-Friendly?

Yes. Our furniture is made using recyclable materials and responsibly sourced board.

Do Cats Actually Use It?

Absolutely. Scratching is an instinctive behaviour. When the surface feels right, cats are naturally drawn to it. Not only does it provide a great scratching surface benefiting their claws, but it also retains heat and absorbs scent, creating a warm and welcoming space for your furry friend. 

Is It Better Than Sisal?

Cardboard offers satisfying resistance, is quieter, and is often preferred by indoor cats. It’s also lighter and easier to position in your home.

What Makes Our Cardboard Different?

✔ High-density corrugated cardboard
✔ Elegant, display-worthy designs
✔ Long-lasting scratch surfaces
✔ Unique, registered styles
✔ Eco-conscious materials
✔ Designed in the UK

Not all cardboard scratch furniture is created equal.

We use dense, structural board engineered to withstand consistent scratching — from playful kittens to larger breeds. The surface offers satisfying resistance, helping maintain healthy claws while protecting your carpets, walls, and furnishings.

If you’ve tried thin, lightweight scratch pads before, you’ll immediately notice the difference.

Where Size Matters!​

Renowned for our larger-than-standard proportions, our oversized loungers, chaises and scratching posts are designed to accommodate larger breeds such as Maine Coons, multi-cat households, and cats who simply need more space to stretch, scratch, and relax.
