Scratching boards & scratching waves
Everything you need to know about scratching boards and scratching waves for daily claw care
Scratching boards and scratching waves are practical scratching furniture for cats that take up little space yet still make an important contribution to species-appropriate activity. They support natural claw care, offer variety in everyday life and help protect furniture, carpets or wallpaper from scratch marks.
At Zoo Roco, you’ll find various scratching boards, scratching waves and scratching mats for cats, which are ideal for indoor cats, kittens, senior cats or as a complement to a classic scratching post. Whether made from sisal, cardboard, wood or plush – the right scratching options promote your cat’s well-being and provide more activity at home.
Why scratching boards are so important for cats
Cats don’t just scratch to sharpen their claws. Scratching also serves to mark their territory, stretch their muscles and relieve stress. A well-placed scratching board for cats allows your feline friend to express this behaviour in a suitable place.
Scratching boards on walls, doors or furniture corners are especially popular. They can be mounted in a space-saving way and are ideal if your cat prefers certain spots in the home.
Scratching boards for walls, doors and corners
A wall-mounted scratching board is ideal for cats that like to scratch upright and stretch at the same time. Models for doors or room corners protect sensitive areas while also providing an attractive scratching surface.
Scratching mats as a flexible solution
Scratching mats can be placed on the floor, attached to furniture or positioned at preferred scratching spots. They are particularly versatile and are also suitable for cats that prefer to scratch horizontally.
Scratching waves for play, rest and claw care
A scratching wave for cats combines a scratching surface and a resting place in one. Thanks to its curved shape, it is suitable not only for scratching, but also for relaxing, playing and observing. Many cats love cardboard scratching waves, as the material gives way pleasantly and offers a natural scratching sensation.
Cardboard scratching waves for environmentally conscious cat owners
Scratching waves made of corrugated cardboard are lightweight, popular and often recyclable. They provide a pleasant surface for claw care and can be easily replaced when heavily worn.
Sisal scratching waves for long-lasting use
Models with a sisal surface are particularly robust and are suitable for cats that scratch intensively. They are a durable addition to a scratching post, scratching barrel or climbing wall.
Positioning scratching boards and scratching waves correctly
To ensure your cat gladly accepts the new scratching option, it should be placed or secured in a suitable location. Ideal spots are near sleeping areas, walkways or already preferred scratching spots. A cat scratching board can also be useful next to a sofa, door frame or window seat.
If you have several cats, it’s worth distributing various scratching options around the home. This allows each cat to mark its territory and express its natural scratching behaviour.
