  • Accordion-folded cardboard — stand it, flatten it or arch it
  • Folds flat when you want the floor back
  • Bell threaded through, so scratching turns into play
  • About 280 g, 11 × 10 × 7 cm folded

Corrugated cardboard folded like a concertina and curved round into a ring. It arrives flat and opens into a donut you can stand upright, press flat as a mat, or bow into an arch — whichever way the cat likes to work.

A tunnel runs through the middle of the ring, and a ball with a bell inside it rolls along that tunnel. A paw that came to scratch usually stays to play.

Key features

  • Accordion-folded corrugated cardboard
  • Stands as a ring, lies flat as a mat or bows into an arch
  • A ball with a bell, running in the tunnel through the centre
  • Paw-shaped end caps hold the ball in
  • Folds flat for storage

One shape, several positions

Some cats stretch up a vertical post, some flatten out and rake horizontally, some want an angle in between. A concertina of cardboard bends into all three, so you can try positions in the same corner instead of buying a second scratcher.

Cats do not all scratch the same way

Folds the way the cat wants Open it into a ring, press it flat into a mat, or bow it into an arch to lean on. There is nothing to assemble — it is one piece.
Cardboard is the surface cats pick Corrugated edges shred under a claw the way a sofa arm does, which is exactly why they pull a cat off the sofa arm.
Bell in the fold Threaded through the middle, so a paw that came to scratch usually stays to bat at it.

Ready in three simple steps

1
Open it out

Take it out of the bag and pull it into the shape you want.

2
Put it where the scratching already happens

Next to the sofa corner or the door frame they use, not across the room.

3
Fold it away when you need the floor

It presses back flat.

Beautiful, though my cats are ignoring it so far. Perhaps I will play with it myself. 🤣

Recommended!

A good idea, poorly made. The fastening does not hold, the cardboard tore before my cat could play, and the magnets and metal pieces were rusty. The seller did not respond. I had no time to return it, so it was wasted money. I cannot recommend it; my cat was disappointed too.

My cat plays with it well. Joining two together lets the ball roll farther and makes it more popular.

A success. It is easy to assemble, and my cat loves the smell of the cardboard.

I bought two. Each measures 11 cm across at its widest when closed. The magnets hold together well. My cat seemed curious when I showed it to him; I hope he plays with it a lot.

Excellent, although joining two together gives more space. My cat was more interested when I joined two; I am glad I bought two.

My cat loves it!

I love it. I had to remove the rattle from the ball because my cat could not stand it. After that, she began to enjoy the toy. I doubt it will last long: she barely bit it and it started to wear. It is still a very interesting toy, even for a young child. I would buy it again if it broke.

Good to know

Will it hold its shape?

It stays in whichever fold you set it in. Cardboard scratchers are meant to shred over time — that is the surface doing its job rather than wearing out.

Can the bell come out?

It is threaded through the fold, so it lifts out if you would rather it were silent.

Does it leave bits on the floor?

Cardboard scratchers do shed flakes where they are used. A mat underneath, or a shake outdoors every week or two, keeps it tidy.

How big is it?

About 11 × 10 × 7 cm folded, and it opens out from there. It is a compact scratcher rather than a full-length post.

Vertical or horizontal?

Both — that is the point of the fold. Try it flat first; most cats show you within a day which way they prefer.
