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.

very cool!
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:57 am
It would make my Cocoa Kitty very happy. She also looks a lot like the cat in the picture. Maybe she would stop shredding my cardboard storage boxes if she had this.
March 23rd, 2011 at 9:58 am
No cat can resist the word lounge and the smell/feel of cardboard.
This will be the latest fight worthy object in my house if I was to win!

March 23rd, 2011 at 10:01 am
So far, it’s been a tough week for us kitties: a trip to the vet’s, nails trimmed, shots given, blood taken, and antibiotics for both of us. We could really use a Scratch Lounge.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:02 am
My cats love their scratchers. This one would be a bit hit!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:02 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 10:02 am
My cat Edie – LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the scratch lounge and needs a new one badly. I like the new shape and she would love to give it a test run.
Meow!

Baby Jaz needs a Scratch Lounge!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:03 am
Boy, wouldn’t our cats love to lounge on the Scratch Lounge after a hard day at work keeping the house safe from birds (and probably an occasional mouse) seen from the windows of our home. What a way to kick back and relax!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:04 am
Would deff have to get 2 for my kitties cuz i’m sure they’d fight over one
would love to have this!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:04 am
Looks like Wren & Sparrow! They’d love this! Thanks for the chance to win it!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:05 am
Our kitties love Scratch Lounge! We’d love to win another for upstairs!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:05 am
We would love to have the Scratch Lounge….from 4 spoiled kitties
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:06 am
Wow….almost thought I was looking at my cat Shady. She was a rescued cat that my son got and after a few years she came to us ’cause he couldn’t have a cat when he moved. We weren’t too enthused, but needless to say, she stole our hearts (after she came out of hiding). Even her vet loves to see her, she’s such a gentle sweetie. I’m sure Shady would just love this scratching lounge. Hope I/she wins one.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:07 am
I don’t think my cat would ever leave that. The tin of Catnip is too cute
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:07 am
Mar actually has one but needs a new one seeing his is battered!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:07 am
All 35 claws will be in true scratch heaven. We need as much scratching stuff as we can get.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:08 am
My cats would love it!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:08 am

March 23rd, 2011 at 10:09 am
Love the old-school apothecary/general store -ish design.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:09 am
Our cat scratcher is getting a bit aged and it would be wonderful to have a new one to claw away on. We would definitely like to get our paws on one of these.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:10 am
would love to try this out!

I think we have cat scratch fever and we feel like scratching the night away. Please help our cause.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:10 am
Our cats already use cardboard boxes as their beds and they love scratchers, so this combo would be purr-fect (sorry!) for them. Hope we win, Emma & Lola!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 am
How charming, I really like that the graphics on the box are not ugly like so many cat related products are. Come to think of it that’s what I like about the Modern Cat blog over-all.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 am
I love it when Ando demos things : ) I think my cat would love a Scratch Lounge as much as Ando!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 am
My cats are big fans of scratching and biting every cardboard box they get to lay paws on. I am sure they would just love Scrach Lounge
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:11 am
So excellent. Would be fabulous in my home.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:12 am
We’re moving to a new house and this would make Apollo’s transition so much easier!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:12 am
Since I have a black cat (just like the one in the photos), I know that CaraMia would look just perfect sitting inside it! Ditto for my orange cat,too!

March 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 am
I have ALWAYS wanted to try the scratch lounge because my cats love scratchers and cardboard boxes. Please pick me!!!!!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 am
This is wonderful, with a cat that loves boxes and one that loves scratch pads this would be a favorite I am sure. A Huge Thank You to the maker(s) of the Scratch Lounge for all they do for our Kitty friends!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 am
Uaw and the black cat makes it more amazing.
Wanna one please!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect

We have adopted a gorgeous tom who wears a tuxedo and has stolen our hearts. To our delight, he has now been trained to scratch on his scratchers and in doing so he gets the ‘good boy’ command. We encouraged him with snacks too. He’s doing so well that we are now having to replace one of the upstairs scratchers, as he enjoys the treats so much. You won’t be surprised to hear that he has reached a contented 5 kg and is now on food watch. Sure he’d love to have a go on these ones too, they look like a bright idea.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 am
my foster kittens would love this, for play,claws & slumber.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:14 am
I’ve been looking at these!! I’d love to win one, try it out, and buy more for my friends and family!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:14 am
How cute! My kitty would love this.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:14 am
My kitties LOVE scratching things like this!
