One thing worth knowing

There's no size or thickness given for the mat, so we can't tell you how it compares to a post in scratching area, and no maximum weight is published either — worth bearing in mind if you have a heavier cat leaning into it repeatedly.

Why we chose it

Some cats flatly refuse to use an upright post and will only scratch something lying down — this gives that cat an option before you spend on a full cat tree. It also hangs, so it works in a spot a post physically can't.

Full description

Not every cat scratches standing up. Plenty do their best work lying down, dragging claws sideways across whatever's underneath them — a habit that a tall post does nothing for, because it's the wrong shape entirely.

This is a flat sisal mat rather than a post: natural sisal on a scratch-resistant, non-toxic backing, made to be hung on a door or wall, or simply left flat on the floor for a cat to lounge and scratch on however it prefers.

One thing worth knowing. There's no size or thickness given for the mat, so we can't tell you how it compares to a post in scratching area, and no maximum weight is published either — worth bearing in mind if you have a heavier cat leaning into it repeatedly.

Who it's for: owners of a cat that scratches flat rather than upright, or anyone who wants a second scratching surface for a door or a low spot a tall post won't fit.
