As a cat mom of four, I know how frustrating it can be when your cat decides to tear up your carpets with their claws. While the best scratching posts for cats can help, this scratching pad – on sale for under $8 – goes one step further, as you can attach it directly to your furniture and surfaces.

Having a place to scratch is essential for your cat's health and happiness, keeping their claws trim and tidy while relieving stress and anxiety. So, if you don’t have one already or need an upgrade, now is the time to add it to your basket while it’s 43% off.

This trimmable scratching mat can be cut to a custom size of your choice, then attaches to surfaces or furniture using the included tape.

From couches and chairs to walls and doors, this scratching pad will attach to just about anything! Unlike traditional posts that are clunky and take up lots of space, these pads can be neatly hidden out of sight – perfect for smaller homes.

So, what do Amazon reviewers have to say about it? More than 400 customers have given it a five-star review, praising its ease of application, durability, and good value for money. Some of their cats even enjoy climbing up it as a fun activity!

The pad is made from 0.14-inch felt, which the manufacturer says has a "realistic carpet material," tricking your feline into thinking it's the real thing. You can also wrap it around your existing scratching post if it’s in need of a refresher.
