Overview
A cottage-style cardboard hideaway from ASPCA measuring 19 by 13 by 17 inches, with an attached scratching pad built into the design and assembly required on arrival.
This combines two cat behaviors, hiding and scratching, into a single cardboard structure rather than separate products. Because it is cardboard, the tradeoff is a lighter cost against a shorter working life than a sisal or wood scratcher.
- 19"D x 13"W x 17"H cottage shape
- Cardboard construction with built-in scratch pad
- Assembly required
- 2 pounds, easy to reposition indoors
Who it's for
Cats that like an enclosed hideaway with a scratch surface nearby suit this piece. Cats that scratch heavily and need a scratcher that holds up over months, not weeks, are better served by a sisal or wood post.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Combines a hideaway and a scratch pad in one piece
- Cottage design fits indoor decor
- Lighter weight at 2 pounds, easy to place or move
- Cardboard wears faster than sisal or wood scratchers
- Assembly required out of the box
- Sized for one cat given its footprint
Performance notes
The cottage shape ships flat and requires assembly, with the scratching pad built into the structure rather than sold separately.
