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.

My two kitties would LOVE to plop down in the Scratch Lounge! Even if I won one here, I’d still have to buy another so they wouldn’t fight for it!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:30 am
My cats would LOVE this! They love scratchers and this one looks perfect!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:31 am
Sure looks like a winner to me – bet my two cats would go crazy over it.

What a nice scratcher!!!! My kitties would absolutely be in heaven with this.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:35 am
I’d love one for my cat! Though, knowing my cat, she’d look at it and go, “How nice! You got yourself a chair.”
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:36 am
My friend who lives in my building has a 3-legged cat he rescued who loves cardboard scratchers
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:36 am
Thanks for the chance to win! My girls could have something new to fight over!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:36 am
My cat is very picky about her scratch pads–no ramps or emery boards for her! So when I bought a Scratch Lounge, I wondered if it would be worth it. The pet store manager said, “Trust me, she’ll love it!” He couldn’t have been more right. It is her new favorite hangout!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 am
My cat is a horizontal scratcher and would love one of these.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 am
Ando reminds me of my Blacky who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. My two new sisters, Anna and Bella would race and chase to see who got to the Scratch Lounge first. I truly appreciate companies who look out for people and animals, and not just the bottom line.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 am
love the idea and the design, very attractive (and fun!).
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:39 am
This is awesome! Any cat would love it.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:39 am
My kitties love cardboard!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:39 am
This really sounds like a great company. I am following them on Facebook now, to support them and the work they do for animals, and what looks like a great product.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:40 am
I’m sure all of the cats in our home would love to have one of these to scratch on.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:40 am
My kitties would appreciate this scratch lunger so much! We hope we win!! >’.'<
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:40 am
My cat Moco used to love the Scratch Lounge when I lived with my last roommate! He’d roll in it, scratch in it and sleep in it! But when I moved out, my roommate took the Scratch Lounge for his cat and I’ve been wanting to get him once ever since. Whoever wins will have a happy cat!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:40 am
My kitties would appreciate this scratch lounger so much! We hope we win!! >’.’<

Our cats have recently taken to scratching the sides of the Otis and Claude climbing boxes we have. :/ Maybe they’d like this better!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:41 am
My cats would love that!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:42 am
My one-year-old Daisy has a luxated patella and is restricted from climbing or jumping. This would be just the thing to cheer my kitten up!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:42 am
MY girls would love this! I think they would end up fighting over who gets it and end up all squished in there together
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:42 am
Catnip, lounging, and scratching?? What a dreamy place for my cat, Buddy.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:43 am
What a classy scratcher and such a great group to help animals!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:47 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 11:48 am
All of my kitties would just love a scratch lounge.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:48 am
My girls have corrugated cardboard beds (not a scratcher), similar to this, and they love them. They also love to lounge on their scratchpads. So this combination would give them the best of both worlds! Hope we’re one of the winners!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:49 am
Oo, that’s really nice!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:50 am
Kitties love loungers, mine meow for one!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:53 am
Looks awesome! A scratching bed! Perfect.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:54 am
These are great – I just had to retire our old cardboard scratcher that they’ve had for years after being barfed on, etc. They loved it and are also professional loungers!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:54 am
That looks really cool!! Lupe would just love it!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:55 am
