A walled cardboard scratcher cats can scratch on and sleep in
About $40 (Sep 2026)
Scratch Lounge is a corrugated cardboard insert set inside a box with raised sides, so it works as a horizontal scratcher and a bed at once. The listing says the inserts are reversible to double their life, that it is made in the USA, and that catnip is included. Cardboard sheds bits, and the inserts wear out and need replacing.
Who it's for: Cats who scratch rugs and carpet, and cats who like to lie on what they scratch.
Skip if: Your cat stretches up the side of the sofa. Put a tall post there first.
Alternatives with different tradeoffs — not clones of the same pitch.
