Cardboard Cat Scratching Board That Protects Furniture and Keeps Cats Happy

Your cat needs to scratch—it’s not a training failure. The real solution is giving them a surface that feels better than your sofa, wall, or carpet. A Kingwin-style corrugated cardboard cat scratching board (or scratching lounge) is designed to redirect scratching behavior naturally, so your home stays protected and your cat stays calm and satisfied.

Protect your sofa by offering a “better scratch”

Cats choose surfaces based on texture, resistance, and convenience. Upholstery often wins because it’s vertical, stable, and right where the family spends time. A well-designed cardboard scratcher gives cats that same satisfying “grab and pull” feeling—without destroying furniture.

Place the board next to the problem area first. Once your cat uses it consistently, you can move it gradually to your preferred spot.

Built for natural claw care and daily stretching

Scratching helps cats shed the outer claw layer and keep claws comfortable. It also works as a full-body stretch for shoulders, back, and hips—one reason cats scratch after naps. A scratcher that supports this routine reduces restless behavior and helps indoor cats stay active.

Supports instinctive marking without the mess

Cats leave both visual marks and scent signals when they scratch. They have scent glands on their front paws, so scratching is a normal way to “claim” familiar pathways. A dedicated scratching board gives them a place to do this appropriately, which can reduce repeated scratching on doors, corners, and sofa arms.

Lightweight, space-saving, and easy to replace

Cardboard scratchers are practical for real homes:

• Easy to move to high-traffic areas where cats actually scratch

• Easy to place in multiple rooms (living room, bedroom, near litter box)

• Simple to replace when worn, keeping the scratching experience fresh

A scratching lounge adds extra value because many cats treat it as both a scratch surface and a nap spot—so they use it more often.

How to get faster results at home

A good product works best with correct setup. For most cats, these steps make the change quickly:

• Put the scratcher within a few steps of the furniture your cat targets

• Reward scratching the board immediately with treats or play

• Add catnip if your cat responds to it

• Keep the scratcher stable (no sliding), especially on smooth floors

If your cat is scratching more during changes at home (new pet, moving, schedule shifts), adding an extra scratcher in another room can also help.

Ideal for kittens and adult cats

Starting during the kitten stage builds good habits early, but adult cats can switch too—especially when the scratcher feels better, is placed correctly, and is reinforced with simple rewards.
