Best Cat Scratching Pads of 2025

“My cat loves wavy scratchers, and I really appreciated that this came in a two-pack. There was no assembly required—just took it out of the box and placed it down. Even without using the included catnip, my cat enjoys scratching it. It is a bit louder than other scratchers, but that’s not a big issue for me. I plan to order more once these wear out!”

“One of my cats typically prefers the bottom of the couch, so I was surprised when he immediately started tearing into these scratchers right after we unwrapped them. They are basically cardboard and lay flat, which makes them easy to use. I was worried about a glue odor, but there’s none at all. We’ll definitely order these again!”

“I’ve always found that cats need something to sharpen their claws, and these scratcher pads have always been a hit with mine. The catnip infusion encourages them to scratch more, and the fact that it comes in a two-pack at an affordable price is a bonus since both my cats can have their own pads!”

"I absolutely love this scratcher! My cat enjoys it as well. It's spacious and lasts a long time since you receive three of them. I appreciate the blue box that keeps all the cardboard pieces contained, so there's no mess on the floor. A fantastic purchase!"

"These scratchers are a big hit with my Maine Coon! This is the second time we've bought them, and they are durable and reasonably priced. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase."

"My cat adores these scratchers! She spends her day lounging and sharpening her claws on them. Since they are double-sided, they last quite a while. After a couple of months, I just flip them over and we're good to go. They protect my furniture and help keep her nails healthy!"

"I was impressed by how quickly my cat took to it; she was already scratching it even before I finished assembling. The height is perfect for her to stretch and scratch, and the bonus tuft is a hit too. After trying several others, this has quickly become her favorite scratching post!"

"Setting it up was a breeze, and I'm surprised by how sturdy it is for being cardboard. My big kitty loves it and can scratch without it moving around. It's a great option for cats that prefer vertical scratchers!"

The FUKUMARU Cat Scratcher Mat, measuring 23.6 x 31.5 inches, has been a game-changer. My cats took to it instantly, enjoying the durable sisal material that fulfills their scratching needs. Its large size allows multiple cats to scratch without disputes, and it blends effortlessly with my home decor. I've had it for a while, and it's shown minimal signs of wear. This mat is a wise investment for any multi-cat household, and I highly recommend it!"

"I purchased this scratching mat hoping to redirect my big horizontal scratcher from my carpet. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, he was drawn to it! He started scratching immediately, even before I added catnip. The sisal material feels much more durable compared to cardboard scratchers, and for the price, I bought two! One for my living room and another for my office. It's definitely a hit!"

They fit perfectly in my turbo scratcher, making replacements a breeze. If you want to save money while keeping your cats happy, I definitely recommend these!"

"My cats really enjoy these scratchers. They immediately started using all three as soon as I set them down. A bit narrower than I preferred, but the cats don't seem to mind. I have them in every room so they always have one nearby. If your cats scratch furniture, I suggest adding vertical posts too. Training is worth the effort!"

"I love how strong the cardboard is. My cat scratches and then relaxes on it. To keep her engaged, I occasionally sprinkle catnip on top. Great value overall!"

"My cat Walter absolutely adores these scratch pads. Each one lasts about a month and doesn't leave too many cardboard pieces behind, which I appreciate. Just the right size for easy storage under the couch while vacuuming. This is my fifth purchase, and I’ll keep coming back!"

“I love this scratch ramp! My cat is obsessed with it, especially the fabric trim. She started hugging it and rubbing her face on it as if it were her prey. The sisal is durable, and it supports her weight well.”

“I recently got the SmartyKat Sisal Angle Cat Scratch Ramp, and it has been a game-changer. The angled design suits my cat's natural scratching instincts perfectly. It’s well-constructed and doesn’t wobble, providing a safe experience for her.”

“I know it sounds silly, but paying for a cardboard box that comes in another cardboard box is worth it! My cat finds comfort in the depth of the cardboard, and she gets excited when I change the padding. It's easy to assemble and very sturdy, keeping my cat cozy!”

“I was tired of paying too much for bird pads that my birds destroyed. So, I decided to try these cat scratch pads that looked identical but were longer. They are durable, easy to put together, and my birds love to peck and scratch them. They also help keep their beaks and nails healthy. Plus, if my cats run out, I can use these too since they came in a multiple set.”

“I bought an 8-pack of these scratch pads for my 9 lbs cat about six months ago. She loves them and uses them frequently. Although they are thinner and smaller than other brands, it doesn’t matter because my cat scratches without going through them. For the price of $20 for eight, it’s a fantastic deal!”

"This is my second set, and my cats love it! They go wild with the scratcher boards and then nap in the box. The replacement boards last a long time, and I highly recommend it."

"I got this for my cats to replace their old one. They adore the cardboard texture! I can easily flip it when one side is worn out, and it has lasted almost two years with minimal cleanup needed."

"I previously bought expensive scratching pads, but they wore out quickly. This one is big enough for my chunky cat and very sturdy. It's the best investment I've made, and my cats enjoy it immensely!"

“I love that the large, wide corrugated design gives my cat plenty of space to scratch. The reversible feature extends its lifespan, and the sturdy cardboard holds up well against regular scratching. The included catnip adds extra fun, making this 2-pack a fantastic choice for a durable and affordable scratcher!”

“My new kitty, Kona, immediately took to the scratcher. I'm thrilled that she enjoys using it instead of my furniture. It's a great size, heavy, and sturdy—definitely a high-quality product!”
