Cats love cardboard scratchers but we can do without the cardboard flakes all over the floor. Here is a solution from Cat Above Company.
The new ScratchPal™ is a patent-pending cardboard cat scratcher that contains the cardboard flakes. The high sides, broad lip, and side channels of the scratcher accumulate scratched off particles and prevent cardboard particles from scattering on the floor. The ScratchPal includes a long-lasting, super dense, 2-inch thick cardboard scratching pad that pops out for easy replacement and can be used on both sides.
Made of cabinet-grade birch plywood, the ScratchPal has small feet to elevate it off the floor. It’s also heavier than a regular cardboard scratcher, so it doesn’t slide across the floor when the cat uses it. With simple clean lines and natural materials, the ScratchPal would look good in any home.
Limited time offer: FREE SHIPPING when you buy the ScratchPal (U.S. contiguous states only). The ScratchPal sells for $39.95 US.

One of my four cats loves clawing anything cardboard. I often leave out boxes for them to play in and she shreds them – this would come in handy and keep the floor clean as well.

I could really use this for my five cats.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:31 am
My cat loves scratchers, but they really do get stuff everywhere!
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:56 am
This looks really nice. My kitten would love it.
Thanks.

This is the purrfect design for my 5 felines! They would be standing in line for their turn!

I would love to be able to give this to my grandmother for her birthday. She doesn’t need anything, really, so something like this would be perfect, since it would be for her cats!
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 am
Oooh, this looks lovely! My 3 kitties would love it.
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 am
Oh this is so swell, our kitty has our mattress all defragled and trying to work on a second one, I guess that’s her thing for mattresses must have a great feeling to scratch in it on a mattress(corner). This may save my furniture I can only hope, Would love to find out!

How cool is that?!! We would love to try one!
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:16 am
I’d love to win this. My cats adore their “Alpine Scratcher” but it’s ugly, cheap-looking, and you’re right — it scatters cardboard everywhere and makes a mess.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:46 am
Pasquale, Hermione and Ansel say “Please”.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:10 am
Our two cats would love this, since their old scratching tree was discarded in a move. The new one isn’t quite up to snuff for them. Maybe this would do the trick!
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:15 am
Better the scratcher thingy than my leg! Joyce

The ScratchPad is is every cat owners dream come true! With this ingenius concept, not only your furniture, but your carpets and floors will be much easier to keep clean as well. But the frosting on the cake is for the cats themselves: ours love their scratching pads – but they are also crazy about boxes – ALL BOXES. The ScratchPad is lke two gifts in one the pleasures of the stratch pad – with the comfort, security and whatever else make cats love boxes! Bon Idee.

My cats would love this! It just might keep them away from my sofa.
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 pm
This is an awesome product – I have 2 cats with the cardboard inserts all over my house. Those little bits and pieces of cardboard are everywhere – they get stuck to your shoes – track them throughout the house – it is annoying. It is a shame they are not giving away 2 of them. I could really use them. Though one is just as good.

Chloe would love to test the limits of her shredding abilities in this fine box.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Kamikaze, and Honda Civic would love this!
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Exactly what I was looking for! Enter me please. Can’t believe this has not been thought of yet.

Please enter me in your giveaway so I can have some happy cats in the household.

My big fat cat would love to sink his claws in the scratch pad. His name is Ruby and he is twenty pounds.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:41 pm
This is awesome! My cat (and I) would love if I won this!
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm
My undeclawed kittens would love this!
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
What a good idea. My cats would love this.
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
great giveaway
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:47 pm
We found our cat Pita abandoned in a park 8 years ago. Every night when I go to bed, he curls up next to me (all 18 pounds of him). He would just love this. It’s been a while since he’s gotten something new!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Biscuit would love this and I would be so grateful not to have to sweep up cardboard flakes every day! Thanks!

My guy would love it! Thanks for the chance to win!

The last scratcher we got went to Jynx, our FeLV positive cat who lives in a room by himself. I’d love to have a new one for the other seven.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:36 pm
My baby girl would love this
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
my cats love the texture of the cardboard, but i hate the mess! this new design looks like we would all be happy with it! i hope i win : ) thanks.
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
This would be so much better for my three kitties than my boxspring which they are currently tearing to shreds.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

My friend and neighbor has 4 indoor cats with feline leukemia and she is temporarily in a studio, this would be such a treat to Gucci, Miko, Smokey, and Cicely.
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Kitty does love her cardboard scratcher – this is an awesome idea to make it look a little nicer for us humans!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
My little Elf cat would love this!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I have two little kittens that would love this!! Thanks for the chance!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:47 pm
My cat would love a scratcher, and I love that it’s a) not too big and b) self contained!
July 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
My cats go mad for their double wide scratcher. I would love to win this (because they can’t enter themselves).
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
I have 3 cats who would love this–thanks for the chance to win!
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
I LOVE this idea. Im a design student about to embark upon a cardboard furniture project (for humans). Im digging the renewable resource approach to pet toys/furniture. My 2 cats go bananas over cardboard boxes and scratch pads… but as everyone notes : its a pain to clean up after. Brilliant, and obvious, solution! I want one…
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
My cat gives this prize 5 claws up! I will look nice in the room also. Thanks for the contest.
July 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 pm
This looks like it would work great.
