SmartyKat Scratch Up can be hung from a doorknob to draw your cat up and away from home furnishings. If your cat requires a different scratch angle, it can lay flat on the ground. Great for finicky cats and for discovering your cat's scratch angle preference. Figuring out your cat's preferred scratching surface can feel like guesswork. To make your life easier, we recommend trying out corrugated scratchers first, because the texture closely mimics tree bark - one of the most common surfaces felines love digging their claws into when out in nature. The instinct to scratch is hard-wired into cats. Cats scratch to mark territory, promote healthy nail growth, tone muscles, and to help alleviate stress. Scratch Up uses our patent pending process of infusing highly concentrated catnip between each layer of cardboard, so the potent catnip scent is released every time your cat scratches. Catnip naturally stimulates most cats, providing a burst of playful energy, usually followed by a mellow period. SmartyKat toys, beds and scratchers are designed to meet the needs of your cat: Exercise, Hunt, Stimulation, Interaction, Scratch and Comfort without forgetting about FUN! Kids and pets often share the same space in the home and will have access to each other’s toys. That is why we design products to meet child safety standards; ensuring kids in the home are safe, whether they are two-footed or four-pawed! We utilize recycled and sustainable materials wherever possible. Please read all packaging instructions, warnings and cautions upon receipt. Packaging may contain small parts, discard after opening.

The SmartyKat Scratch Up Corrugated Hanging Cat Scratcher is a great, no-fuss solution for cats who love to scratch. My cat took to it immediately, especially with the added catnip infusion. The single wide design gives enough surface area for scratching without taking up much space, and I like that it can hang or be laid flat. It's a basic scratcher, but it does the job well and keeps my furniture safe. Plus, it's affordable and easy to replace when it wears out!

I've always gone for these throughout my cat's years. He loves them and goes to town when I put fresh ones out. It's thick and sturdy cardboard that you won't have to fear cat claws going through itFor more scared or curious cats I love to sprinkle catnip on the board and watch them realize they can scratch it.Easy to hang on a doorknob for vertical scratchers or you can just lay it flat on the ground.Cheap and expendable and easy to toss out when it's too beat up and I can just buy another one.

Our cats loved these especially when laid on the floor rather than hanging on a door knob, They scratched enthusiastically then lay down on the scratchers as if they were ventilated beds I liked that I could put these near furniture to keep the furniture and upholstery from being torn up. Cats dearly love to scratch! What I didn't like was how quickly our two young cats were able to start ripping the compressed cardboard into shreds of paper scattered all over and thus tracked throughout the house. So out they have gone, to be replaced with sisal covered scratching poles and bars. I know the cats miss them, but my husband and I have no mess when the cats scratch on sisal.

Can be placed on a door to be out of the way, though my cat wepuld knock it down to lay on it 😅 it's light, good quality, and my cat finds it comfy.

Seems to work. Just wish the cat would like it better than he likes my chair sides.

I know some people said it was cheap and their cats didn't like it but mine is gouging away at it all the time! He loves it. You don't have to hang it on a door. I taped mine onto a wall where the cat kept scratching and it worked perfectly.

I'm not sure weather the problem is with the item or with my cat. It didn't help anyway.

My five cats actually love this scratcher, but it's not a door hanger or at least it's not a door hanger at my house. Our cats would have to be much taller to use this as a door hanger. This thing is really short when it hangs on the door and my cats couldn't reach it without stretching uncomfortably, so we just threw it on the floor and the cats used it anyway.They like it on the floor just fine. The bonus to it being on the floor is that they will also perch on it, roll around on it, pick it up and drag it around, and it really just becomes sort of an all-purpose toy. It's lasted a long time and being able to rip the cardboard cover off the other side means that you can just flip it over and you have two sides for them to scratch. It also holds catnip better when it's flat on the floor.The con of it being on the floor is that I've tripped over it several times because it doesn't stay put. I also trip over the cat several times a day so it doesn't really matter.Bottom line, the cats love it and it's on the floor. I would definitely buy it again and just throw it on the floor rather than ever trying it on the door.

This product has several varieties available for purchase, one of which is advertised as "set of 4," though what is fulfilled/sent to you is not actually a four pack, but only one. What's even more annoying is this isn't even an issue with a third party seller choosing the wrong listing variation for their FBA products-- it's shipped and sold by Amazon, who should know better than to make a mistake like this. I've alerted Amazon customer service several times over the past week that they have these single products listed incorrectly as 4 packs resulting in people being misled and sent 25% of what they actually ordered, but they have yet to correct or remove the listing variation. I don't know what is going on with Amazon lately but this is the third time this month I've bought a product clearly listed as a multipack that was sold directly by Amazon and was only sent one item... and none of those listings have been fixed or edited even after notifying them repeatedly. I no longer have any confidence that ANY item on Amazon listed as a pack or set of multiple products is really going to be what it says it is.So if you purchase the "set of 4" with Amazon.com listed as the source/seller, just know you are most likely only going to be sent one. If you buy the variation marked "set of 4" from another third party seller there may still be a chance you get an actual 4 pack but if you buy from Amazon as the seller, only a single scratcher will be fulfilled.

Our cat LOVES this thing. We sprinkle silver vine on it and he has a fantastic time scratching, rolling, and then sleeping on it.Pros:- it was very cheap (I believe we paid $4.19 for it) and since the cat's just going to destroy it and it'll eventually need replaced that's an important consideration.- it holds catnip/silver vine very well- the cat loves it- doesn't take up too much space- you can remove the cardboard back panel and let them scratch the bottom side tooCons:- it makes a mess with all the ripped up bits of cardboard. I don't really mind since you can just vacuum it up and any scratcher has some level of mess. If you put catnip or silver vine on it they work their way through the holes and then when you remove the cardboard on the back side lots of silver vine comes falling out.- it's FAR too short to hang from a doorknob unless you have a very tall cat. It's great for floor use though.- it's a little small, my cat manages to make himself fit and he's quite happy with it but if you have a very large cat this might be a little undersized for them.It's not perfect but for the price given how happy my cat is with it I feel it was a great purchase.
