We have a new favorite lounge spot at home: The Scratch Lounge. Ando recently had a chance to give it a test drive (thank you, Scratch Lounge!) and he is quite impressed. The shape of the Scratch Lounge is just perfect for kitties to plop down in, with thick corrugated cardboard surfaces on the bottom and on two sides, creating a cardboard nest. The other great design feature is that all three cardboard pads (bottom and both sides) are reversible, so it’s like getting two loungers in one. And when it’s really done, the whole thing is recyclable.
The Scratch Lounge is made in the USA in Chicago, Illinois using all safe materials including non-toxic wheat-based glue to adhere the cardboard pieces together. And besides being a great product, The Scratch Lounge is made by a great company. A full 10% of profits are donated to The Amanda Foundation Mobile Clinic, which provides low-cost spay/neuter services specifically to the poorest communities of Los Angeles.
Not only does the Scratch Lounge contribute to The Amanda Foundation, but they regularly participate generously in lots of animal rescue programs and fundraisers, like the recent aCATemy awards adoption event where every cat received a free Scratch Lounge, and the HSUS Genesis Awards. The people behind the Scratch Lounge truly have the welfare of the animals in mind as part of their business plan! Stay up-to-date on the latest Scratch Lounge activities on their Facebook page.

WOW! I need this so the stitching on my lounge can be saved. What a cute idea.
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:49 am
kitties would LOVE this as they are nip & scratch nuts
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:49 am
Love all of your great kitty ideas. My cat Mickey, enjoys scratching pads he can roll on. This new one looks purrrfect!
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:49 am
Wow, looks like the kitty is really enjoying it. I wonder what it is about cardboard that cats are so intrigued with?
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:49 am
I love the furniture on this site.
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:50 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 8:52 am
My cats both cram into the Scratch Lounge at the same time. Another Scratch Lounge would help!
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:53 am
oh please please!! We want one at our house!
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:56 am
i’ve always thought these “nest” / “box” type scratchers were a brilliant idea. exploit a cat’s natural love of boxes to get them to the scratcher. genius.
March 23rd, 2011 at 8:59 am
This looks super-practical and there’s something so charming about seeing a cat plop down in a “safe-in-the-open” product like this one. I think our cats would love it!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:00 am
Chloe loves to scratch & lounge – this would be perfect for her!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:00 am
Saw this at the pet store the other day. May have to buy it, if I don’t win it!!

March 23rd, 2011 at 9:00 am
I know of a Tortie cat that would love to lounge on that
Leia would love it.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:01 am
My cats both love cardboard scratchers–so I’m sure they’d love this!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:02 am
My Isabella would never leave this lovely Scratch Lounge! Thanks for all the help you do for the Amanda Foundation and others!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:04 am
My boys love cardboard scratchers – the bigger, the better.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:05 am
Ooh! My cats love our cardboard scratchers and I think they’d like them even more in this format.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:05 am
Oh MAN. I just bought the “chaise” version of this for the first time for my cats, but I love the shape/design of this one so much better. Would love to win one!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:06 am
I have four cats, all with claws intact, as is only proper. They scratch on the floor to ceiling pole that I have as well as the flat cardboard scratchers, but they would surely love a Scratch Lounge! I’d like two, so if I win one, I will buy a second one! I am working part-time retail, so it would be a splurge for me.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:07 am
I love scratch lounge! My cats want one soooo bad!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:08 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 9:09 am
Love it
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 am
This would be so much better than the current situation: one cat sleeping in a shoe box while the other one scratches the couch.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 am
Great product as always!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 am
oh man, mine would love this. they have gone NUTs over the smallish cardboard scratcher (we’re on our fourth one now) and they even love to lay on it when they’re not scratching.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 am

The cat in the picture looks just like Spencer who has been missing since last Wednesday. Maybe its a sign!!
