Introducing a brand new product from a brand new company, check out the Scratch’n Slumber Comfort Center from Brawny Cat. This Washington state-based company knows what it takes to keep cats of all sizes lounging in comfort. They’ve packed all sorts of features into the Scratch’n Slumber, I guarantee it will be a hit.
First of all, the Brawny Cat doesn’t discriminate against full figured felines. The Scratch’n Slumber was created for a very special girl named Big Baby. Here she is modeling for us:
As you can see, Big Baby needs a little extra room to stretch out, so the folks at Brawny Cat created “The Big Baby” Scratch’n Slumber measuring 26.5″ wide and 23.5″ deep. This size is great for “full figured” cats as well as large breed cats. In addition to “The Big Baby”, they created four more sizes (shown below) so you can pick just the right size for your cat.
The Scratch’n Slumber isn’t just a bed, it’s a complete comfort center. The sturdy cedar frame holds a high quality cardboard “padlet” that cats absolutely love to rub, scratch, and nap on. The raised, curved sides provide extra support for kitty’s back and head and a great surface for scratching. Plus. kitty can peek out over the sides to attack unsuspecting siblings.
The cardboard used is very high quality and stands up to quite a bit of scratching, plus you can turn the padlet over when one side is worn and get twice the life out of it. A catch basin in the bottom of the frame holds loose cardboard and catnip. Read more about the features and benefits of the Scratch’n Slumber on the Brawny Cat website.
They sent us one to test and as you can see below, everyone loves. Every time I turn around, someone else is on the Scratch’n Slumber. I’ve moved it all over the house — on the catio, in the living room, in the office — and they always find it. I’ve even seen a little “king of the hill” action happening when it’s time to decide whose turn it is.
Just for reference, this is the B’Tweener model. Left to right: Theo weighs about 17 lbs.; Simba weighs 9 lbs.; and Flora weighs 6 lbs. (she’s tiny). That’s Ando in the top photo and he weighs about 15 lbs.
The Scratch’n Slumber cedar platforms are all handcrafted in Washington state using Western red cedar. Each one is hand-sanded and constructed without glues or stains, just natural cedar.
The Scratch’n Slumber Comfort Centers sell for $169 to $189 US, depending on the size. Replacement padlets are available for $59 to $79.

I think the Big Baby Jr. would be perfect for my big baby. He loooves to sleep with his head elevated, and this would do much better than my arm!
May 17th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Love the look of this bed. Haven’t found a scratcher my 2 like and they like my chair to much for sleeping.
May 17th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
The narrow Scratch’n Go size is such a great idea for windowsills and other high up places kitties like to perch. The cedar also looks great.
The Big Baby Jr. would be perfect for my quickly growing kitten

i want this for my kitty! i love that it looks like a couch, with the kitties lounging about. my napoleon would love it and the b’tweener would probably fit him best. anything made with natural products is a plus.
May 17th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Finally something my 22 pound “big guy” can fit on without spilling over
May 17th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
wow-
these guys look so comfy- the head support is a great idea on a catbed.
May 17th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
My girls love to sleep with a little “pillow” under their heads. They would go crazy for this.
May 17th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Great idea… A size for everyone. I have a petite baby to a godzilla size Ragdoll, and everything in between. It would be great to have a lounger to fit everyone!
May 17th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
The Big Baby Jr. will be suitable for my kitty. If they can make one for the perch by the window, I would love to get it.
May 17th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Those are great! I have two cats – one tiny, one large. I like that my big girl could have a place to sprawl out on other than MY chair! ..And I’m sure my little guy would enjoy sitting on one, too.
May 17th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Tamir (the tubby tabby) would really be able to snuggle into that bed. We think it would be comfy and stylish!! Tamir fits the description “well fed cat” purrfectly. In fact, Mom always calls him her Big Baby!

big cats need love too!
May 17th, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Minou would love to be able to relax beside me when I work on that comfy looking B’Tweener or Big Baby Jr. She’s a smaller cat but LOVES to spread out…
May 17th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
This is a great idea!! My cats would love this!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Very mag! My 3 little 6-7 pound cats would enjoy Scratch’n Go or Start’M Up!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
This is a great innovative product. Where do these people get thier ideas? Great ones at that
May 17th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
our new kitty will love this!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Big Baby Jr is the best size – it’s more square, which i feel suits for playing and napping. The rectangle size seems like it might be hard to find a place on the floor, likely only against a wall. the more square size could be placed in a corner
May 17th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
That first pic with the black cat, is exactly how my cat sleeps lol. Letting everything dangle out of the bed, he’ll love this!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:40 pm
You can’t go wrong with the big baby. Although it takes up a lot of space, is expensive, and sits around all day, you will learn to love it. Well enough talk about my cat Daisy, “The Big Baby” Scratch’n Slumber is a great versatile furniture for multiple cats. They can use it for play time, a good scratch or a lazy afternoon cat nap!
“The Big Baby” Scratch’n Slumber would be perfect for my cats!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
PERFECT! Now a large kitty can sprawl out on a coomfy surface instead of draping themselves over a small one.
May 17th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
This would be wonderful for my HUGE baby! And for his little brother to join him as they love to cuddle together while they sleep. I love the aesthetic design, minimal, playful, functional, all in all, a perfect design.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
What a terrific idea! This looks like one of the most comfortable cat beds I’ve seen! I have five kitties, ranging in size from 6 lbs to 12 lbs, and I know they’d adore this.
I’m loving the rustic yet sophisticated look of the red cedar… just gorgeous. We live in a rustic home nestled in the woods of a small homestead farm. This would fit right in at our house!
May 17th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
I love this product and so will my kitties. They love to nap together and this looks so comfy.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
My big baby would love to lounge on this and I love cedar What a perfect solution for scratching and lounging… hmmmmm
May 17th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Oh, this is the greatest. The tweener size would work for me. My cat would love to stretch out on this beatiful bed.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
My big baby would love to lounge on the “the Big Baby” and I love cedar What a perfect solution for scratching and lounging… hmmmmm
May 17th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
This looks amazing!!! I’m sure it would be a great kitty pleaser! The Scratch’n Go looks perfect for my two kitties to cuddle on!!!
May 17th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I love it!!!! It’s so cute and it looks great. I would get the Big Baby Jr. I wonder if the cats would end up scratching the wood…
May 17th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
These are too awesome! A much more stylish alternative to the cardboard loungers my cat adores. She’s always either on her lounger or on top of her kitty condo… if the fish tank light isn’t on, that is, cause gosh it’s warm up there!
I would probably only need the Start’M Up size for my kitty… I don’t know about how much she weighs but she’s pretty petite and it would be the perfect size to go on the shelves under my desk where she loves to lay anyway.
Good luck everyone!
May 17th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
How great is this? Our Siamese siblings will have a blast and do need a big space to sleep together!
May 17th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
covers both of my cats favorite things to do
May 17th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
My Poldy Cat would LOVE one of these…I’m thinking the B’Tweener size…he’s a aolid cat 14 lb cat (maine coon or wedgie mix) and LOVES to scratch and sleep on cardboard.
May 18th, 2010 at 12:07 am
They all look great, but I think the Scratch’n Go would be a perfect size!
May 18th, 2010 at 1:00 am
Would need the biggest size for sure for my big baby!
May 18th, 2010 at 1:30 am
These look really amazing!! My kitties would really love any one of these sizes! They look really well made too.
The Big Baby Jr. looks like it would make any cat incredibly happy.
May 18th, 2010 at 4:23 am
Ooooh! Awesome! My cats would LOVE the B Tweener or the Big Baby Junior!
May 18th, 2010 at 5:47 am
It’s great to see all these new and innovative scratcher designs. So many cats are declawed unnecessarily, and perhaps having more attractive options will help. My three, who all use their posts, would love this!
May 18th, 2010 at 5:48 am
I’m not sure we should be encouraging “well-fed” cats, but it’s nice to have choices. The B’Tweener would be more than adequate for my brood.
May 18th, 2010 at 6:07 am
This is a great idea, my cat Louie would love this!!!
May 18th, 2010 at 6:26 am
I love the big baby and my “big baby” would love it as well. A place to stretch out and scratching spot as well. Fabulous!
May 18th, 2010 at 7:17 am
This would be my cats’ idea of winning the lottery. Perhaps they will have better luck than I have had.
May 18th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Mr. Katz would love the Big One, and the headrest would thrill Lulabelle! Altercations for occupancy would be fun to watch!
May 18th, 2010 at 8:25 am
Equality for larger felines!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! I know a few cats who could use the larger size one!
May 18th, 2010 at 8:41 am
these are great! no matter how many beds i get they always want to sleep on the scratcher. I’d probably do big baby jr. for our growing boy.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:00 am
This is a lovely combination. The newest addition to our family loves sleeping in between your legs curled up much like these cats so it would be a lovely substitute! Looks like a paintable surface perfect for customization and I love the wide variety of sizes! The B-Tweener looks like a suitable size for a smaller kitty leaving plenty of room to stretch out and flop over any way she pleases.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Love it! And I’m sure my girls would too!
May 18th, 2010 at 9:10 am
win win win
May 18th, 2010 at 9:27 am
The size offerings are fantastic! I have a big boy that needs extra support on things.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:39 am
These are so cool & i love the smell of cedar. thank you!
