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 kittys would love it. And I like the sides, to help keep the catnip in. Yesterday we had a little cat fight over the scratcher, because Neptune was selfish and knocked 2 of the other cats off.
March 24th, 2011 at 5:53 am
How cool! My Simba would love this x
March 24th, 2011 at 6:00 am

March 24th, 2011 at 6:13 am

March 24th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Our kitty just loves cardboard. She is constantly rubbing up against any cardboard boxes in the house. She would love this little bed.
March 24th, 2011 at 6:30 am
My cats would love it…
March 24th, 2011 at 6:34 am
Our kitty is a HUGE fan of cardboard scratchers and would LOVE a shot at one of these babies.

My black cat, though a litter greyer in the muzzle, would look just as good in this lounger.

Very cool. Thanks for the opp!

March 24th, 2011 at 7:09 am
One of my four fur brats always lays on the carboard scratcher we have, he would love the luxury of one of these. I’m sure this scratcher would be well loved in no time flat.

I have a large black Bombay named Miles that LOVES cardboard. He loves to sleep on it, scratch at it, and will even chew on it…but not eat it (thankfully).
March 24th, 2011 at 7:39 am
Scratch and sleep, what two better things do kitties love more? I know that my two fur babies would be in love with this. What a great invention.
March 24th, 2011 at 7:43 am
My boyfriend moved in 5 months ago with his 2 year old cat, Stella. At first, she found it hard to settle and started using my new £2000 sofa set as a scratching post! (and causing a few arguments!) Shortly after, she had kittens so we kept her confined to the kitchen (so my sofas were safe). But since her kitten went off to new homes in the New Year and Stella has been allowed to roam free again in the house, she has started to claw my sofas again! We had tried ‘squirting’ her with a water pistol but no luck so I WOULD LOVE TO WIN your cat scratching lounge to put in my lounge! Hopefully it will stop the scratching and the arguments it causes between me and my boyfriend!!!
March 24th, 2011 at 7:47 am
YES! a scratching thingy with SIDES! Violet & TigerBalm would LOVE this!
March 24th, 2011 at 7:48 am
My furkids would love this!
March 24th, 2011 at 8:12 am
My guys would love it! It would be fun to have a longer version-for those kitties who like to do things like slide themselves along the front of furniture with their claws
