PetFusion Final Cat Scratcher Front room, Reversible Infinity Taste in A couple of Colours. Made out of Recycled Corrugated Cardboard, Sturdy & Lengthy Lasting

Updated: Holy smokes! BEST SCRATCHER EVER
Years later addition to original review (1/11/18):Just got a new scratcher- our elderly cat who loved it for scratching and laying on passed away on New Years Day, and ! can now report on how two little kittens feel about it.My elderly cat scratched the heck out of this thing for nearly FOUR YEARS and it stayed intact, looked great, and worked well for sooooooo much longer than a typical scratcher. I flipped it over and got twice the use out of it. This thing really is the very best scratcher I have ever seen or could even imagine. When our elderly cat had an “accident” next to it I tossed it and didn’t replace– she then started going to town scratching up our floors and furniture. No problems at all when this awesome scratcher was in the house- our cat just absolutely loved it and spent a lot of time enjoying it. (I live in an old farmhouse with an antique vibe- this thing fit in just fine with the walnut colored side, tucked against a window. Absolutely nothing to dislike and lots to love). Our elderly cat had terrible arthritis and seemed to find this the most comfortable and comforting spot in the house other than our bed.Fast forward to 2018. I purchased a new scratcher, same model for two new little kittens. They absolutely love this thing for play. They tumble over, under, and around, love hiding inside it and chasing each other through it. I think a small cat could continue to hide in it as an adult, but larger cats would need the jumbo size version for that kind of interactive play. I really can’t stress enough how highly I recommend this thing. I am a social worker, perpetually broke, and this $50 purchase is one I don’t regret one bit (I didn’t regret it 5 years ago when I bought the first one for $99– that tells you how amazing this thing is). It’s money in the bank, truly so attractive to cats that it completely stopped mine from scratching elsewhere. It is so much sturdier and longer lasting compared with other scratchers that you will even save money in the long run. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Original review:Our scratcher arrived last night, and I was taken aback by the huge box on my doorstep. This thing is big! (The box itself was tremendous fun for our cat– it is a big, long tunnel.) The scratcher was IMPECCABLY packaged– I was struck that it is not only sealed in plastic but also encased in a pillowcase made of bubblewrap. Our cat has been sleeping and lounging on her new scratcher and seems to love it. The scratcher seems extremely sturdy and will, I think, last a very long time. I know that scratching has psychological and physical importance for cats, and this fairly attractive option seems as if it will meet her needs for over a year. Although this was an expensive purchase, I consider it money well spent.

I’m on my third one (in over 5 years!)
I just unpacked my third one of these in over 5 years and figured it was time for me to give a review. You can see my cats do a number on these things, but that old one shown in front of the new one is over two years old. They do shed cardboard as they get more torn up, but my cats use this thing daily. Well worth it, especially because you can flip it over and wear out the other side too! Sturdy and well made (holds my weight when standing in it even) while still looking nicer than the traditional scratchers and giving the cats a place to lounge about.

Strong, durable, aesthetic and the cats LOVE it!
We share our household with 6 cats and as all cats like to do … they love to scratch. We go through plenty of those corrugated cardboard scratchers like the Cosmic Alpine Scratcher which has a much looser cardboard grain than this PetFusion lounge. I was a little leery at first because of the price of this scratcher. I wondered just how good could a cardboard scratcher actually be for $45 that would differentiate it so much from the $10-$15 options that I have been going for over the past 8 years or so. They love the cardboard, but our multiple cats go through the looser cardboard options so quickly and sometimes they do not get the resistance they need from the looser cardboard and will resort to using the couch to scratch and get the “manicure” they need (really just shedding the nail sheath). This is a necessity for our feline friends.When the PetFusion arrived, I was first struck by it’s SIZE. I’ve posted a picture with one of my biggest cats who weighs about 20 lbs and is just a big boy, with large bones and length. Scooter is a feral cat and he has claws and massive strength. He is one of 6 cats who loves the lounger for both scratching and lounging. The quality of the cardboard used in the almost “furniture-grade” scratcher provides a great amount of resistance for that nail sheath shedding so that the kitty’s don’t feel the same need to mark and groom via scratching on a stronger piece of material. Outdoors, cats usually have trees to do this for them. To lure my two biggest couch scratchers (new couch, new habits), I used SmartyKat CatnipMist to make the scratcher immediately appealing. The scratcher does come with a baggie of catnip twigs (but none of my cats were remotely interested in this version of catnip and my cats are usually not picky … but not a one liked it). Between the catnip mist and a little coaxing, I have redirected scratching to the new lounger where some of the cats are creating territories. The lounger is big enough to accommodate two of our cats and some of them like playing in the openings.We all liked the lounger so much within 2 days I ordered another one for the top floor of the house. The cats took to that one too.Our house is decorated in a more contemporary decor and this scratcher sits nicely next to our Noguchi Table and doesn’t miss a beat. The item is reversible and I expect to get a good lifespan out of it. At very least 4 times what I would have with the cheaper cardboard scratchers. At that point, they have more than paid for themselves.Easy on the eyes, a furniture-saver and the cats love it. We are all happy campers.Update: 11 September 2012: I have found a way to extend the use of these scratchers (since I bought two of them so far). I find that if I cut them in half lengthwise with a hacksaw and use the inside surfaces it creates two scratchers and two great, fresh surfaces for our 6 kitties. They still lounge on the half-shape and it’s a great way to extend the life. That said, I just ordered a new one today and am going to be cutting the second one in half and deploying it downstairs (I just had to throw away the two halves today because they had been scratched up).These are not cheap scratchers but they can sure take a beating. They can also have their life extended by sawing them in half and exposing the undersides. It’s like having two brand new scratchers! Moms and kitties are happy 🙂

Excelente rascador, es muy bonito, además que a mis gatitos le encantan dormir encima de él y al igual les encanta afilar sus agarras en él. Es el segundo que compro y han salido de muy buena calidad y duraderos, a mis gatitos les encanta.

Il primo tiragraffi ho comprato a febbraio 2021, rispetto a tanti altri ha davvero la qualità superiore. Non c’erano i pezzi di cartone sparsi per casa e la durata era più lunga rispetto agli altri tiragraffi di cartone che mi costringevano e costringono a pulire in continuazione. Oggi ho visto che è tornato disponibile e l’ho subito ordinato (anche se l’attesa per la consegna si prospetta piuttosto lunga, vale la pena aspettare). Poi anche il prezzo è molto concorrenziale! L’altro tiragraffi di misure un po’minori (quel tipo ho comprato a settembre 2022) costa quasi il doppio e dura la metà del tempo…
