Cats instinctively scratch for many reasons - to mark their territory, to relax, or just to stretch. If your cat doesn't have a designated scratching pad, your furniture may be the first thing to get shredded. The Catty Scratch is constructed of 100% recycled paper pulp and features a honeycomb texture that mimics the feel of tree bark. Each scratching pad comes with a pack of dried catnip to encourage scratching. When one side of the Catty Scratch is worn down, just flip it over for a brand new scratching pad.
