Vet designed
Designed by emergency vet Dr Duncan Houston. Tested at home by Gary, a Ragdoll who bats the ball round the track and then pretends the scratching was his idea.
Why this scratcher
- Designed by Dr Duncan Houston
- Tested by Gary
- Corrugated cardboard, one bell ball
- Round or Square
How it works
Why a ball on a scratcher gets it used, and who a flat scratcher is for
The ball brings her over; the pad keeps her there
A plastic ball with a bell inside runs in a channel under the rim, with holes over it.
- The bell answers a pawA paw through a hole sends it round and the bell answers, enough to bring a bored cat across the room.
- Standing on a corrugated padOnce there she is standing on a corrugated pad, and cats scratch when they are worked up and near a surface that takes a claw.
- Play first, scratching secondPlay first, scratching second, same spot.
Flat, for the cats who scratch flat
Cats divide into up-scratchers and along-scratchers.
- A surface with some giveThe sofa-arm cat wants a post; the cat who rakes the rug or the doormat wants a surface with some give, and a post does nothing for her.
- Claws sink, and she comes backThe pad is corrugated cardboard on edge: claws sink between the flutes, the old sheath comes off, the shoulders stretch, and she leaves scent from the glands in her feet, which is why she comes back.
Cardboard on purpose, and nothing to build
It arrives in one piece: body, printed top sheet, pad, and the ball already in its track.
- Half a kilo, rug to bedroomAt about half a kilo it moves from rug to bedroom and back, and it is low enough for a kitten or an old cat to step onto. Shredding is the product working.
- Cardboard goes in the recyclingWhen the pad is scratched through, the cardboard goes in the recycling and the ball in the next one.

Three rules for choosing
-
Round or Square is a question about the floor, not the cat. Open rug, the foot of the sofa arm, the middle of a room: the Round, which has no edge to line up. A corner, a hallway wall, beside the litter tray: the Square, which tucks in flush on two sides.
-
Both are light. On carpet or a rug they stay put under a scratching cat; on tiles or boards a big cat can shunt the Round along, so give it a rug or choose the Square and put it against a wall. The Square weighs about a third more and is the steadier of the two.
-
Kittens and old cats: both shapes are low enough to step onto, which is why a flat scratcher is a good first scratcher and a good last one. A kitten also gets the ball; watch that she plays with it through the holes rather than chewing at the rim. A cat who has stopped scratching, or suddenly cannot, is a vet check before she is a new scratcher.

How to
How to place a flat scratcher so the cat actually uses it
Put it where she scratches flat now
On the rug she rakes, over the worn patch of carpet, by the doormat. A scratcher in the spot she already uses beats a better one in the spare room.
Flick the ball once
Send it round the track with a finger while she is watching. The bell does the rest; you do not need to do it twice.
Leave it alone for two weeks
Most cats find the ball on day one and the pad within the week. A pinch of catnip on the pad hurries a hesitant cat. Do not carry her to it.
Then move it, if it must move
A hand-width a day towards where you want it. Any faster and she goes back to the rug.
Replace and recycle
When the pad is scratched through it has done its job. Cardboard in the recycling, ball in the next one.
Vet noteDr Duncan Houston, emergency veterinarian
Cardboard scratchers shed, and shredding is normal. A cat who eats the cardboard rather than shredding it should have it taken away and the habit mentioned to your vet, because eating things that are not food has causes. The ball has a bell inside: a ball that has cracked, or a bell that has come out of it, goes in the bin that day, and so does a scratcher whose rim she has chewed open. Scratching that starts suddenly in a new place, or a cat who always scratched and has stopped, or who cries or limps when she scratches, is a vet visit before it is a shopping trip. Scratching itself is not a behaviour problem to remove; it is a claw, a stretch and a scent mark, and this gives it somewhere to go. If any of it worries you, ask your vet.
Why I designed it
A scratcher only works if she visits it. So I put the game on it.
Half the cats I see for scratching complaints are not sofa cats at all.
- Flat, with a pullThey scratch the rug, the doormat, the stair carpet: flat, with a pull.
- A post does nothing for themA post does nothing for them. They need a horizontal surface with some give, in the spot they already use.
- The trouble with a flat padThe trouble with a flat pad is that it sits there.
- A ball in a trackSo this one has a ball running in a track under the rim: she comes to bat it, she is standing on corrugated cardboard, and cats scratch where they have just played.
- Round or SquareRound for the rug, Square for the corner.
- Gary bats the ballGary bats the ball and pretends the scratching was his idea.

What spins?
The ball. It runs in a channel under the rim with holes over it, so a paw through a hole sends it round and the bell rattles as it goes. The scratcher itself stays where you put it, and nothing on it turns or needs winding. The scratch pad is the corrugated cardboard in the middle, sitting a little below the rim so her claws catch the edge of the flutes.
Round or Square?
Decide by the floor. Open rug, the foot of the sofa arm, the middle of the room: the Round, which has no edge to line up. A corner, a hallway wall, beside the litter tray: the Square, which sits flush on two sides and runs the track round all four. Same pad, same ball, same price. The Square is about a third heavier, so it is the steadier one under a big cat on a hard floor.
How big is it?
About 35 cm across and about 7 cm high in either shape, which is a pad for the front feet with the back feet on the floor, not a full-length stretching board. A big cat scratches it just the same; she stands over it rather than on it. If she wants the full upward stretch as well, that is what the Scratch Me Happy Scratching Post is for.
Will it stop her scratching the rug or the sofa?
For a rug or carpet scratcher, it gives her the same pull in the same place on a surface that takes it better, which is the only approach that works. Put it on the exact spot, leave it two weeks, then move it a hand-width a day if it must move. For a sofa-arm scratcher it helps less: she is scratching upward, and a post at the sofa arm is the right tool. Telling her off changes nothing either way.
Can she get the ball out, and is it safe?
The ball runs in a closed channel and the holes are for paws, so in normal play it stays in. The ball has a bell inside: if it cracks or the bell comes out, bin it that day, and take the scratcher away from a cat who chews the rim open rather than scratching the pad. Shredded cardboard is normal; eaten cardboard is a vet conversation.
How long does the cardboard last, and can I replace the pad?
A light scratcher gets months; a heavy daily scratcher gets weeks before the pad is scratched through, which is the pad doing what it is for. A replacement pad is not sold on its own. When it is done, the cardboard goes in the recycling and the ball goes in the next one. Brush the shreds off; do not glue anything back.
What if it arrives damaged or she 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 is normal: flick the ball once while she watches, a pinch of catnip on the pad, the right spot, and two weeks before you judge it.
