How it works

Cats scratch when they wake, beside where they slept, because the scratch is the stretch and the scent mark together.

Inside, a box 24 cm high with felt at the front and back and cardboard walls: a den for one cat, curled.

A body of stacked corrugated board, two dark felt plates fixed with plastic screws through the felt into the cardboard, a light felt strip for the camera top; about 800 g, 40 x 33 x 11 cm in the box.
Size guide
About 800 gOne cat curled under about 35 cm
39.5 x 28.5 x 24 cm
Measure her curled up, nose to tail base. Under about 35 cm she curls inside; over that she uses the roof, and The Cottage is the bigger house. At 24 cm high she lies inside rather than sits up, which is how a cat uses a den anyway.
One cat. The house is 39.5 cm wide. Two cats use it as a den and a roof, one each, and in a multi-cat house the rule is still one hiding place per cat plus one.
Kittens and old cats: a kitten grows into it rather than out of it, and a round door with a low sill suits an old cat, but an old cat who has stopped scratching or stopped stretching up is a vet visit before she is a new scratcher; the change is how sore joints show.

How to

Fit the felt plates to the body and drive every plastic screw through the felt into the cardboard until it sits flush; run a hand over each one, because a proud screw is what a claw catches on.

Beside the sofa arm or on the rug she uses, door facing the room, back to a wall. A scratcher in the hall replaces nothing.

Drag a wand across the top, or scratch it with your own nails while she watches; a cat copies a scratch. Do not put her inside.

Most cats take the roof first and the den later. If she has not touched it in two weeks, move it closer to the thing she scratches instead.

Shreds on the floor are the roof working. Vacuum them, lint-roll the felt, and check the screws are still tight after she has been landing on it.
Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, emergency veterinarian
Cardboard sheds, and a cat who eats the shreds rather than making them should lose the scratcher and have the habit mentioned to your vet, because eating things that are not food has causes. Check the screws sit flush after assembly and monthly; a proud or loose screw catches a claw, and a loose one is small enough to swallow. One cat inside at a time. A cat who stops scratching, stops stretching up, or starts hiding more than she used to is telling you something is wrong: less scratching is one of the quiet signs of sore joints, and more hiding is how cats show pain and illness; both are a vet visit before they are new furniture. It is not for rabbits, which eat cardboard and felt. In a multi-cat house, one hiding place per cat plus one, and a scratcher each. If you are unsure about any of this, ask your vet.
Why I designed it
Watch a cat wake up: she stretches, then scratches the nearest thing, because scratching is the stretch and the scent mark in one, and it happens beside the bed, not across the room.

Quality construction maintains visual appeal despite daily cat activity and interaction. The fun design doesn't compromise on behavioral functionality whatsoever.
I bought this as a joke gift to myself for being too online, and it's genuinely become my cat's primary habitat. The camera silhouette shape is brilliant — the viewfinder opening becomes a perfect cat face frame, and the body of the camera is a cosy enclosed sleeping space. My cat peers out of the viewfinder with such regal judgment that it feels fitting. The felt quality is exceptional — dense and well-structured with no collapsing. It photographs beautifully from every angle (naturally). My Instagram followers are obsessed. PURRZ's ability to be genuinely witty while delivering genuine quality is something very few brands manage.
FAQ
It is 39.5 x 28.5 x 24 cm. Measure her curled up, nose to tail base: under about 35 cm she fits the den. It is a house for one cat; two cats use it as a den and a roof.
Yes. The body is stacked corrugated cardboard with the flute edges up, which is the surface of every flat cardboard scratcher, and the roof is the part she reaches first when she comes out of the den. It is flat, so it suits the cat who scratches the rug or the carpet rather than the sofa arm; a cat who stretches up the sofa arm wants a post as well, and the roof will still get used.
As long as a cardboard scratcher lasts, which depends on the cat: months with a keen scratcher, longer with a lazy one. The roof frays, then goes through, and that is the product working, not failing. The felt plates and the screws outlast the cardboard.
One size exists; you may see it called Small or Medium, and it is the same house. What matters is the measurement: 39.5 x 28.5 x 24 cm, one cat curled under about 35 cm, and a kitten who grows into it rather than out of it.
Vacuum the roof and the shreds round it weekly, run a lint roller over the felt, and use a damp cloth on marks on the felt only. Never wet the cardboard; it swells and the roof goes soft. If she is sick in it, the body is the consumable part, which is the honest answer, and the felt plates wipe clean.
It helps most when it stands next to the sofa, because she scratches where she is, not where the scratcher is. A flat cardboard roof is what a rug scratcher wants; a cat who stretches up the sofa arm also wants something vertical, and the Scratch Me Happy post beside this box covers both. Trim her claws every couple of weeks and the sofa recovers faster than you expect.
