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.

Cat scratch fever!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 am
How cool! I bet the kitties would love to get in the middle, lay on their sides and scratch at the side scratchers.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 am
My cats would just go ape for this. How cute!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:12 am

My cats like to lay on their sides to scratch. This would be perfect for them!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
My kitty would absolutely adore this! He’s such a lounger, and giving him more things to scratch than my mattress, which I’m still trying to break him of, would be great!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
My cats would love this nest! They are addicted to any form of cardboard scratching beds!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
This is the best scratcher ever!! My cats love theirs! They can always use more.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
A marvelous new take on a classic! I love it and my five cats would love it more! They would probably play-fight over it, lol. Awesome!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
I’m willing to try anything that might get the kitties to stop scratching MY things.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
I would love for my kitties to try the scratch lounge! They go through scratching posts SO quickly, even though I trim their nails every few weeks.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
i’m sure annie and russell would love to scratch on this rather than the couch
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
My kitten Jonah apparently CANNOT have too many scratchers! He loves them and would give this one a workout! Hope I win!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
Pick meeeeeeee
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
Need more scratchers! I’m determined to find something my cat likes as well or better than my poor desk chair.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
My cats are itching to get this!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
That kitty is adorable
Really love this as it is like a scratcher and resting post in one. My boy falls asleep on everything so he would love this.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 am
My cat would go crazy for this!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 am
My babies would be THRILLED with a Scratch Lounge!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 am
My kitties would love that! They love the cardboard scratchers!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 am
Great scratcher. We often throw small boxes around the house. This is a much nicer idea.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:14 am
My Kitties would love this!!
