- 0:00 Good day. I'm Dr Duncan Houston and this is my fake living room.
- 0:03 This is the Scratch & Lounge, I think it is, the Scratch & Lounge oval scratcher.
- 0:08 It's got a cardboard scratcher that does have an indent in the centre here, so they can lie down in there, but mainly it is for scratching.
- 0:16 Around the outside, you have this hole that goes around the whole outside, and it has a little bell ball in it.
- 0:22 You can hear that going around, so they can play with that, scratch on top, and also have a sleep.
- 0:28 Anyway, look at that. Yeah, it kind of looks like a colosseum to me, like the Roman Colosseum.

How it works
Why the Scratch & Lounge works for a floor scratcher
Scratch flat, then stay
Some cats scratch upward and some drag their claws along the floor, and the floor scratchers are the ones ruining the rug.
- Corrugated cardboard laid flatThis gives them corrugated cardboard laid flat, edge on to the claws, inside a wall that turns the pad into a bed.
- Scratches, then lies downShe scratches, turns round and lies down on it with felt at her back, which is what she was going to do on the rug anyway.
The balls are the second game
Round the outside of the felt wall is a slot with balls in it.
- They roll and rattleThey are bell balls: they roll when a paw goes past, stop against the next ball and rattle in the slot, which is enough to hold a cat who has finished scratching and is not ready to sleep.
- A slow game, lying downA low, slow game she can play lying down, and the reason this stays in use between scratches.
Felt and cardboard, no tools
The felt floor has three tabs; the wall panels fit onto them in sequence and close with hook-and-loop through the side holes.
- Lifts out for the vacuumThe cardboard pad drops in and lifts out again for the vacuum.
- Brush the shreds out weeklyCardboard shreds, and the shreds are the product working: brush them out weekly.
- Wears through over monthsThe pad wears through over months and lifts out when it does.
Size guide
One size: will she fit, and what is in the box
-
Selected
About 43 x 34 x 11 cm
Small
About 610 gOne cat curled; every cat to scratch
-
Measure her curled up, nose to tail base. Under about 35 cm she curls inside the wall with her back against it; a bigger cat scratches it and sleeps half over the rim. Every cat fits to scratch, because the pad is the whole floor.
-
Put it flat on the floor she scratches now, the rug corner or the doormat, not on a rug that slides. It is light enough to move, so it can follow her from the living room to the bedroom.
-
Kittens and seniors: the wall is 11 cm, a step rather than a climb, so an arthritic cat gets in without thinking about it. A senior who has stopped scratching altogether is a vet check before a new scratcher.

How to
How to move the scratching from the rug to the pad
Build it where she scratches
Wall panels onto the floor tabs, hook-and-loop closed through the side holes, pad in. Let her supervise; the cardboard smell is the introduction.
Put it on the spot she uses now
On the rug corner or the doormat she scratches, flat, not on a mat that slides. It replaces the spot, so it goes on the spot.
Show her the corrugation
Drag a wand across the pad so her claws catch the ridges once. Most cats take it from there.
Let her shred it
Loose shreds are the product working. Brush them off; do not glue or tape anything.
Lift the pad out weekly
Vacuum the felt, brush the pad, check the balls are all in the track, and drop the pad back in.
Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, emergency veterinarian
Cardboard scratchers shed, and shredding is normal. A cat who eats the shreds or the felt fluff rather than leaving them should have it taken away and the habit mentioned to your vet; eating non-food things has causes. The balls in the track are small: check they are all there when you clean, and if one is missing and you cannot find it, mention that too. The hook-and-loop fixings are not for chewing. Scratching that starts suddenly in a new place, a cat who scratches far more than she did, or a cat who always scratched and has stopped, is a vet visit before it is a shopping trip; a scratcher is not a treatment for a change in behaviour. Declawing is an amputation and is not a treatment for scratching either. If you are unsure about any of this, ask your vet.
Why I designed it
Scratch, then sleep on the evidence.
Watch what a cat does after a good scratch: she does not walk off, she settles a few steps away, often on the thing she has just scratched. So the pad and the bed are one piece. A corrugated cardboard oval to drag her claws through, a low felt wall to curl against with her back covered, and balls in a track round the outside for the paw that is still looking for something to do. It is 11 cm high, so an old cat steps in rather than climbs. Gary scratches it, turns twice and goes to sleep on the shreds.

Is it a bed or a scratcher?
Both, in that order of use. The floor is a corrugated cardboard pad she drags her claws through; the low felt wall round it turns the same oval into a bed she curls in afterwards with her back covered. Cats settle near where they have just scratched, so putting the two in one piece is not a gimmick, it is where she was going to lie down anyway.
How big is it, and will a big cat fit?
It is 43 cm long, about 34 cm wide and 11 cm high. Measure your cat curled up, nose to tail base: under about 35 cm she fits inside the wall to sleep. A bigger cat scratches it just the same, because the pad is the whole floor, and sleeps half over the rim, which the cats in the photographs are doing quite happily.
Can I replace the cardboard pad?
It lifts out, so it can be replaced, but a replacement pad is not sold on its own yet. The pad wears through over months of daily scratching; when it is done, the felt surround is still good, and the page will say so the day a refill exists. Until then, brush the shreds off and turn the pad over.
What are the balls for, and can they come out?
They sit in a slot round the outside of the felt wall and roll when a paw goes past: a slow game for the cat who has finished scratching and is lying down. They are held in the track, but they are small, so check they are all there when you lift the pad out to clean, and tell your vet if one has gone missing and she has been unwell.
Is it right for a kitten or an older cat?
Both. A kitten learns flat scratching on cardboard fast, and the balls keep her there. For an older cat the 11 cm wall is a step, not a climb, and a flat scratch asks less of stiff shoulders than a post does. A senior who has stopped scratching altogether, or scratches and then limps, is worth a vet check before a new scratcher; that is often arthritis.
My cat has suddenly started scratching everything. Will this fix it?
Not on its own, and please do not buy it for that. A cat who suddenly scratches far more, or in new places, is usually telling you something has changed: pain, a new cat or person, a change in the house. That is a vet visit first, then a scratcher on the spot she uses. Declawing is an amputation and is not a treatment for scratching.
What if it arrives damaged or my cat ignores it?
Email hello@purrz.com within 7 days of delivery with a photo and your order number; faulty, damaged or incorrect items are covered and we pay the return shipping when the error is ours. A cat ignoring it in week one usually means it is in the wrong place: move it onto the spot she scratches now and drag a wand across the pad once.
