Cat Scratching Mat, Natural Sisal Mat, Cats Scratch Furniture Protector, Horizontal Cat-Floor Scratching Pad Rug, Protect Carpets and Sofas (14.9x23.6 inch, Brown)

One of my cats LOVES sisal mats and this sisal mat was perfect. I change my cat’s sisal mats every 1 to 2 years depending on how scratched up the mats get so this mat was a great value for the money. This mat is just the right size for my cat to stand with all four paws on the mat and do a big stretch forward with his front paws. He’s definitely way more interested in scratching this sisal mat than he is scratching my couch or rug. I’ve had this sisal mat for a few weeks now and it seems to be holding up well, I think I can expect 1 year to 1.5 years of use out of it before it’s time to replace.

I use these to replace the cheap sisal rope on cat climbing toys or trees. These can be cut to size and easily attached to most surfaces round or flat. 04/05/2021 Almost a year later I am still replacing or covering the cheap sisal rope and faux fir on her climbing toys. I have not had any of this to even show any wear where the faux fir falls apart within weeks when she inevitably changes her route. She loves this stuff because it is actually capable of standing up to her hardest scratching. Laying these on the floor without some type of anchor is foolish as it slips around or slaps her in the face.

My cat didn’t love this (she rather scratch the carpet) so it’s not for every cat but a lot of my fosters loved it! It looks nicer than a cardboard scratch pad and it’s more durable too. It’s lightweight and flat so it’s easy to move and store until the next fosters are ready for it. It’s also easy to clean between fosters (just spray it with rescue or a bleach/water solution and let it dry)

Kitten was all over it, but it slides on our hardwood floors so he had a hard time scratching it (rug surfaces are better but it's very light so it still moves when scratched). Folded during shipping which has left a prominent crease which looks like it will last (if it were rolled it would be much better). I think a larger one would be better as he could more easily be on it and scratch it. Kitten likes it so much that I'm satisfied, but given what it is it's a little pricey.

So the spouse coaxed a stray cat in a few years ago and, being the kitten of a stray, it likes to claw things. We've installed the clear plastic stuff around the end of the couch and that caused him to look elsewhere for his clawing fix. So we ordered this and (this is gonna sound a bit red-neckish but) we attached it to the end of the coffee table in a vertical position with double-sided tape and a small screw in each corner. It really doesn't look bad and Fyre really likes it. It has given him a place to do his clawing/stretching thing and has held up well to the punishment that our couch just wasn't up to. If he does manage to tear it up, we will buy another just like it.

I love these. I bought several of them and made a cat climbing rail on my bunkbed wooden frame with velcro straps and also secured 2 more onto a wooden door frame to protect it from scratching. These are thick but sturdy and flexible. My tomcat absolutely loves them and they increase his exercising abilities without him feeling guilty and me repairing his scratches. There's no smell and they don't look too bad if you plan to secure them in noticeable locations. Get creative with their strategic placement and solves problems for yourself, the furniture and your cats.

My cat immediately started scratching it as soon as I put it on the floor. I did end up nailing it to the corner of the wall since I have carpet and it was always sliding around the floor so I was always tripping over it. My cat adjusted accordingly and now she has a nice stretch while scratching. Sisal is the preferred scratching material. Everything else falls apart or leaves a mess. This mat seems like it will hold up well to scratching since it's woven unlike most scratching posts where the rope is just glued on.

I opened the bag on the kitchen counter, with Missy, my petite kitty watching. Once out of the bag, she was on it, scratching(I had just cut her nails) rolling, now sleeping on it. I have two kitties, one 25 lbs. The pad I got was the small one, which for his size, will be too small, and I think even for this one there will be a battle for possession! I have two WELL used card board scratchers, that make such a mess, that I will get rid of. I intend to get another pad, but the larger size, even maybe 2. You will NOT go wrong buying these if your cat likes sisal rope. This is excellently made, and should last quite awhile. Treat your kitties to something wonderful, if my Missy is any judge.

Era justo lo que buscaba para ponerlo en la esquina del sofá a la que mi gato le tiene tanto aprecio ;)

ni trop grand ni trop petit ; mon chat a de suite compris à quoi ça sert et fait ses griffes dessus

My 9 year old (estimated age) cat, Ted, was formerly a stray/feral little guy, who had no concept of living indoors when he came to me 3 years ago. Unfortunately, he is a big clawer of the furniture, despite buying him a large cat tree and small scratching post (both entirely ignored) he elected to sharpen his talons on the edges and drawers of my bed. The bed was brand new and it upset me terribly to see it's destruction. I just couldn't get the message across at all, he would look at me, baffled, hind legs anchored on the rug, forelegs ferociously tearing at the fabric, when I'd say "No, no!" and wag a finger, entirely inefectualy; all I did was alarm him, which was not at all my intention or objective. He does love his small cat tree in the kitchen, but the bed was his main focus and he would have a fine old scratch each morning before I could even walk around the bed to stop him. Consequently, he has destroyed the fabric entirely on one corner, exposing the wooden frame and was on his way to doing the same on the opposite side, (deeming the exposed wood less satisfying, presumably). So I had nothing to loose by trying this sisal mat out. I cut away the destroyed fabric and affixed the mat to the frame using small carpet tacks, with ease. For the first evening, he just rubbed his face on it, which I took to be a promising sign and by the second evening, he is loving it, really getting his claws stuck in. He is 5.5kg and a big lad, but it has stayed in place so far. It also looks quite smart, is of really good quality sisal with a flexible backing that has tiny suction dots to prevent its moving on a floor but actually helps anchor it in place in the way I have used it. It also has no strong odour which is good for us both. And obviously, the added bonus is it hides his handiwork nicely. I am just about to order a second for the other side and hope he ignores the drawers in favour of them. I so wish I had thought if this solution 3 years ago and bought two the moment he began to scratch. If you have any similar scratching issues, I highly recommend you give one a shot in your home.

Eine der besten Eigenschaften von Kratzmatten ist, dass sie nicht im Zimmer herumrutschen. Es kann frustrierend sein, wenn die Katze eine Kratzsäule benutzt und diese sich während des Kratzens bewegt und möglicherweise Dinge im Raum beschädigt. Mit Kratzmatten gibt es dieses Problem nicht. Die Tatsache, dass Kratzmatten rutschfest sind, ist besonders nützlich, wenn man in einer Wohnung mit begrenztem Platz lebt. Dadurch kann die Matte an einem Ort platziert werden, ohne dass sie ständig verschoben werden muss. Außerdem ermöglicht die Größe und Form der Kratzmatte es den Katzen, ihre Krallen auszufahren und zu dehnen, ohne das Mobiliar oder andere Gegenstände zu beschädigen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Kratzmatten eine hervorragende Wahl für Katzenbesitzer sind. Sie bieten den Katzen einen sicheren Ort zum Kratzen und Schlafen, ohne im Raum herumzurutschen oder andere Gegenstände zu beschädigen. Wenn Sie eine Katze haben oder planen, eine zu adoptieren, sollten Sie auf jeden Fall eine Kratzmatte in Betracht ziehen.

J'ai enfin trouvé un tapis antidérapant et assez épais pour les serres d'aigle de mes deux chats (je coupe mais ça repousse vite). L'idée était de le former (je me suis assise dessus plusieurs jours, astuce de pro rien que pour vous) pour qu'il épouse la forme du dossier de mon canapé. Ce dernier est en tissu et il tient la route depuis 7 ans mais là j'ai vu un bout de rembourrage et j'ai dis stop. Le prix du tapis semble un peu élevé mais pour une telle qualité c'est normal. Honnêtement je n'ai rien trouvé d'aussi bien, et pourtant j'ai cherché et essayé. Maintenant, bien que le tapis ne fasse la longueur du canapé, mes chats préfèrent faire leurs griffes sur le tapis et ignorent tout le tissu environnant. Argent bien dépensé, chats heureux, et canapé qui va pouvoir souffler et vieillir tranquillement.
