Smartykat Super Scratcher Corrugated Cat Scratcher, Catnip Infusion Technology - Brown, Single Wide

Amazon.comProtect a costly sofa or Persian rug from ferocious kitten claws with SmartyKat’s SuperScratcher. This petite scratching pad takes up no more space than a phone book, unobtrusive in comparison with large and unused scratching poles and towers. The pad is also packed with certified organic catnip--luring cats away from Great Grandmother’s heirloom loveseat without the harmful pesticides present in other catnip crops.Committed to saving household furniture and the environment, the minds at SuperKat made this scratching pad from recycled, corrugated cardboard that is gentle on cat nails. The cardboard varies greatly in feel from upholstery--unlike scratching posts with sisal or carpet covering. This distinction allows cats to differentiate between leather loveseats and a beloved scratching tower, so they can develop healthy scratching habits. The SuperScratcher’s honeycomb design also resembles the tree bark cats naturally love. The SuperScratcher lasts several months and is appropriate for cats less than 10 pounds. A SuperScratcher+ is available for larger cats or two cat households. The SuperScratcher measures 19 by 10.5 by 2.1 inches, and weighs 2 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica ReulingProduct DescriptionSmartyKat Super Scratcher uses our patent pending process of infusing highly concentrated catnip between each layer of cardboard, so the potent catnip scent is released every time your cat scratches. Can be used flat or angled. Catnip naturally stimulates most cats, providing a burst of playful energy, usually followed by a mellow period. The instinct to scratch is hard-wired into cats. Cats scratch to mark territory, promote healthy nail growth, tone muscles, and to help alleviate stress. Figuring out your cat's preferred scratching surface can feel like guesswork. To make your life easier, we recommend trying out corrugated scratchers first, because the texture closely mimics tree bark - one of the most common surfaces felines love digging their claws into when out in nature.
