Cat Trees, Scratchers & Wall Furniture
Scratching and climbing are part of being a cat, and giving them a spot for both helps keep claws off the sofa. This collection includes corrugated cardboard scratch pads and loungers, sisal posts and mats, self-adhesive scratching mats for furniture, wall-mounted steps, ladders, bridges and hammock shelves, window perches with suction cups or clamp-on frames, and freestanding pieces like an animal cat tree with tunnel and a jumping platform.
Choosing scratchers and wall furniture
- Direction: watch how your cat scratches. Upright scratchers stretch tall on posts and walls; horizontal scratchers prefer flat or curved cardboard pads.
- Material: sisal has a rough, fibrous feel; cardboard is softer and shreds; carpet mats can be trimmed to fit furniture.
- Placement: put scratchers next to sleeping spots and the furniture your cat already targets.
- Wall pieces: check your wall type and the mounting hardware before installing steps, ladders and bridges, and plan a route with comfortable jumping gaps.
Window perches need clean, smooth glass for suction cups, and windowsill beds need a sill that fits the clamp range listed on the product.
Tip: replace or flip cardboard pads once they're shredded, and rub a little catnip on a new scratcher to draw your cat's attention.
