Cats love to dig their claws into any surface with traction \u2013 these scratchpads are designed for that. Plus, it gives your cat a good workout in the process, which might actually help them sleep past 3 am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s one of the main features to look for in a scratchpad?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most important: durability. Your cat will love a good scratchpad and no doubt go to town on it, so you\u2019re going to want it to last more than one scratching session. Some cardboards are sturdier than others, while some can easily flake away. Search for strength and see if the pad is double-sided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How often should I change out a scratching pad?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis varies depending on how many cats you have and the durability of the cardboard. If your cat is unable to latch its claws into the cardboard, it\u2019s time for a new pad. Likewise, if your cat&#8217;s claws are easily sliding across the cardboard surface, that also means it\u2019s time to switch out that scratcher for a new one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there advantages to using a cardboard cat scratcher as opposed to other types of material?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. Cardboard is flexible, allowing more durability and wiggle room for cats to sink their claws into. Plus, the cardboard surfaces allow for catnip to easily seep through, giving your feline added motivation to scratch away. Lastly, the cardboard on most scratchers is made from recyclable material and, in turn, can be recycled once it\u2019s time for a new pad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coching Cat Scratcher Cardboard Scratch Pad With a natural instinct to claw and scratch at anything with a textured surface, cats are notorious for using couches, clothing, and curtains as their makeshift scratchpads.
