This cardboard cat scratcher is an accordion-style scratch toy made from dense honeycomb corrugated paper that expands to about 9.6 inches across. Pull it open, bend it round and the magnetic ends connect into a ring with a ball inside. Your cat gets a scratching surface on every side and a ball to bat around the track.

What it solves

  • Scratchers that get ignored. A moving ball gives a reason to come back.
  • Flat pads that slide away. The ring shape can be gripped and wrestled.
  • Bored kittens. Scratching and chasing in one toy.
  • Storage. It folds flat when not in use.

How it works

  1. Insert the ball.
  2. Pull the accordion open and bend it into a curve.
  3. Bring the magnetic ends together to close the ring.
  4. Reshape it now and then — a new shape feels like a new toy.

Is it right for your cat?

A great fit if:

  • Your cat likes cardboard scratchers and batting balls.
  • You have a kitten or a playful adult.
  • You want a small scratcher for an apartment.

Look elsewhere if:

  • You want a heavy, stable scratcher for a large cat to really pull on — choose the Sisal Cat Scratcher Bed or the Mushroom Scratch Post.
  • You mind paper bits; cardboard sheds a little with use.
  • The area is damp. Cardboard must stay dry.

Tips for more play

  • Change the shape every few days.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of catnip into the folds.
  • Vacuum around it weekly.

A cardboard cat scratcher that doubles as a toy

Most cats take to a cardboard cat scratcher faster than to carpet or rope. This cat scratcher toy adds a ball track, so it works as enrichment for indoor cats as well as a place to sharpen claws. It can also serve as a small resting ring for kittens.

Questions cat parents ask

Using it

How big is the scratcher?

Opened into a ring it is about 9.6 inches across and 4.4 inches tall.

How do the ends stay together?

The ends connect magnetically, so you can open and reshape it at any time.

Is it suitable for large cats?

Any cat can scratch and bat the ball, but it is a lightweight toy scratcher. Large cats that pull hard will want a heavier scratcher as well.

Care

Does it shed cardboard?

A little, like all cardboard scratchers. Vacuum around it as needed.

Can it get wet?

No. Keep it dry.

Shipping & returns

When will it arrive?

It ships from our U.S. warehouse and typically arrives in 5–8 business days. On its own it is under $50, so shipping is a flat $4.95; orders over $50 ship free.
