The AliExpress listing describes a corrugated-cardboard scratcher with an M-shaped profile and advertises catnip. AutoPet has not tested the product. Confirm the size, construction, and package contents for the option you plan to order.

Check fit and stability

Compare the stated length and width with your cat’s size and the space available. Look for a flat base and a design that will not rock or slide when pressed. If the scratcher is lightweight, check whether the seller explains how it stays in place.

Place it where the behavior already happens

Put the scratcher near an existing scratching location or resting area, not in the middle of a narrow walkway. Offer it as an additional approved surface rather than immediately removing familiar options. Cats vary in preferred angle and texture, so an M-shaped design may not appeal to every animal.

Keep the surface in good condition

Inspect the cardboard for loose pieces and check that the shape remains stable. Replace it when it begins to break apart. If your cat eats pieces or chews the structure, remove the scratcher.

The seller’s catnip claim does not establish whether a packet is included. Check the selected variant, material details, shipping, and current return terms before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Where should a new scratcher go?
