Riley & Rex - Round Corrugated Cardboard Cat Scratcher

TL;DR: The Riley & Rex Round Corrugated Cardboard Cat Scratcher is a low-profile, round scratch pad that lets cats scratch, stretch, and lounge on a stable corrugated surface. It's practical cat furniture for everyday enrichment and helps redirect claws away from couches and rugs.

Scratching is a core feline behaviour — cats use it to shed claw sheaths, mark territory, and stretch their shoulders and back. This round scratcher gives them a dedicated spot to do all three, with a dense corrugated cardboard surface that holds up to daily use.

Why choose this cat furniture?

Unlike tall posts, the round disc design sits flat on the floor, which makes it stable enough for cats who like to knead, lie down, or spin while they scratch. When the top wears down, the pad itself is easy to swap out, so you're not replacing a full piece of cat furniture every few months.

Key features

• Durable corrugated cardboard surface that supports natural scratching behaviour
• Round, low-profile shape offers stability for scratching, stretching, and lounging
• Helps redirect claws away from sofas, rugs, and other household furniture
• Encourages healthy claw maintenance and shedding of old claw sheaths
• Lightweight and simple to replace when the scratching surface is worn
• Flat profile is well-suited to senior cats who prefer not to climb

Specifications

Who is it for?

This scratcher suits any household with a cat — kittens learning good habits, adult cats who need a daily scratching outlet, and senior cats who prefer a flat surface over climbing a tall post. It's a good fit for small apartments and multi-cat homes where floor space matters more than vertical cat furniture.

Shopping for cat supplies near me in the GTA? This is one of the most low-effort additions you can make to a senior cat's routine — it sits flat, requires no assembly, and gives an older cat a comfortable surface to stretch on without jumping.

Feeding & use

Place the scratcher in a high-traffic spot your cat already visits — near their bed, by a sunny window, or next to the furniture they've been targeting. A light sprinkle of catnip on the surface can encourage first use.

Rotate the pad occasionally so it wears evenly, and replace it once the cardboard loses its texture. For senior cats, keep it on a non-slip surface so it stays put when they lean in to stretch.
