Scratching is natural, so give it a better spot
Scratching is a completely natural habit, but your sofa doesn't have to take the hit. The Cat Scratch Mat gives your cat a satisfying spot to scratch, stretch and rub against, helping redirect those instincts away from your furniture. Set it where they already scratch and reward them when they use it.
- A go-to spot for a good scratch
- Room to stretch out and rub
- Set right by the furniture they target
Soft bristles for scratching and cheek rubs
The mat is covered in soft TPR bristles that feel gentle on paws and faces while still offering enough texture for a good scratch. For cats who love a cheek rub, the textured surface doubles as a gentle massage, turning an everyday habit into a routine they come back to.
- Gentle on paws and faces
- Enough texture for a real scratch
- Doubles as a cheek-rub massager
Low-profile, fits almost anywhere
Tall scratching posts take up floor space. This low-profile mat lies on the floor, beside a favorite napping spot or next to the couch your cat usually targets, so it fits in almost anywhere at home. Wipe or rinse it clean as needed, and choose pink, gray or blue.
