Snug in short

Snug is the compact one: 59 cm long, light enough to carry from room to room and low enough for a kitten to climb on and dig in. Fits a windowsill, a hallway or the corner by the sofa.The easiest way into the range — and the shape most kittens learn to scratch on. When they outgrow it, it becomes the spare scratcher in the second room.A black Snug in...

My kitten jumped on this scratcher and started using it before I even had it on the floor! I’d say it’s a winner.

E. ★★★★★5 Oct 2023

We have bought so many of these scratching posts that we have lost count. Our cats, from kittens to seniors, love these scratching posts and soon wear them out to the bone. No scratched furniture or draperies!

Review of Lounge
T. ★★★★★5 Oct 2023

I've purchased this style umpteen times. My cat loves to just lounge on it all day, scratch when the need arises. I've purchased other styles but this one is a favorite. The others are mostly ignored.

I noticed that everyone else Cat also used this as a Bed or Pillow. My cat may not use it as intended but it's still a great buy. Watching her used it like a pillow is cute.

Solid build and easy to move around. A great addition to my cat’s play area

Review of Pavilion
H. ★★★★★5 Oct 2023

The cat liked the scratching post right away, during the operation it became a favorite habitat. Serves well, still in good condition, but already thinking about a new one. You may have other models. Didn't think it would last that long. Definitely lasts longer than conventional carpet and sisal. Recently, pieces of cardboard come off, but since the scratching post is more than a year old, this is not significant.

G. ★★★★★5 Oct 2023

It was a very good purchase, thank you. We now have two cats and both are delighted, and lie there and, most importantly, only tear their claws there. The condition of the scratching post is normal, I still use it and, in principle, use it.

Thank you! A wonderful scratcher, the cat started using it as intended from the first seconds 😼. A bit later he started chewing it too, so it's lost its presentable look, but the cat loves it no less 😅

You could make another scratcher out of the packaging material)))

T. ★★★★★15 Sep 2022

The cat jumped onto the scratcher as soon as I put it on the floor and started sharpening his claws that very moment; now he won't get off it)))) I'm thrilled!

T. ★★★★★5 Sep 2022

We had to wait a few days, but it was dispatched the same day and arrived the next. Very happy with the purchase: the cat refused to scratch rope posts, but took to this one straight away.

They got in touch quickly and dispatched quickly. The customer 😺 is 💯 satisfied! For now the cat uses the scratcher as a bed, but I think he'll soon work out what else it's for 😼 Thank you very much!

I. ★★★★★20 Jun 2021

The cat is content: uses the scratcher as intended and even lies on it. And the main thing is that he's content.

Our second time ordering a scratcher. Happy with the quality and the look; it looks very stylish in the flat, like a piece of furniture. Fully matches the photos on the site and the stated dimensions. The price is good too. The kitten happily sharpens her claws and sometimes just comes to lie on it. Orders are dispatched the same day.

Before you order

Good questions

All answers
Will my cat actually use it?

Most do — cardboard is the surface cats choose on their own. Put it where they already scratch and rub in a pinch of catnip.

Does it make a mess?

Far less than cheap scratchers: the dense board and wooden facade keep flakes inside. A few crumbs the first week, then almost nothing.

Is it safe for kittens and older cats?

Yes — cardboard, wood and water-based glue, nothing else. It gives under the claw, so no split claws, and the low curve is easy to climb.

What does the 12-month guarantee cover?

Structural failure under normal use — layers coming apart, facade detaching, the body collapsing. Scratch marks and worn cardboard are normal use, not a fault: flip it over.
