A Scratching Spot Your Cat Can Call Her Own

Most scratching mats are made of synthetic sisal or cardboard, and many cats simply ignore them and go back to the sofa. This mat is handwoven from natural cotton and linen rope, a raw texture that paws know from tree bark outdoors. Your cat can file her claws, leave her scent and stretch out for a nap, all on one soft, flat mat with a little rope ball to bat at.

Why cats scratch

It is not just about the nails

Cats are hardwired to do two things when they scratch: file their claws and mark their territory with their scent. When every surface at home is synthetic, many cats do not take to it, and the furniture pays the price.

The natural rope gives the resistance paws look for. With every stretch, step and scratch, old nail sheaths come away, a natural way to help keep nails short and smooth, with less damage to your furniture.

Her scent, her spot

A mat that becomes more hers over time

Natural rope fibres soak up your cat's scent as she scratches and kneads. The more she uses it, the more it smells like her, which is why many cats keep coming back to it.

It is popular with owners of shy or anxious indoor cats who want to give them a spot of their own.

Built to take the scratching

Dense woven rope, made to last

The rope is woven tightly to handle claws, kneading and daily flops, without fraying, flattening or falling apart after a few uses.

Cardboard scratchers shred and need replacing, which resets your cat's routine each time. This mat is handwoven to keep its shape for a long time.

Questions people ask

What is the mat made from?

It is handwoven from natural cotton and linen rope. It is soft, breathable and free from harsh synthetics.

Is it suitable for kittens and adult cats?

Yes, it works for cats of all ages. Kittens scratch by instinct from a very young age, so a natural rope surface early on helps build good scratching habits. For older cats, the soft but firm texture is gentle on ageing paws while still giving them the resistance they need.

Does it trap heat?

No. The rope weave lets air flow through every loop, so it keeps your cat cool in summer and comfortably warm in winter.

How is it different from a regular scratching mat?

Most mats use synthetic sisal or cardboard. This one is natural rope that takes on your cat's scent, so she can mark it as hers and keeps coming back to scratch, filing her nails as she goes.

Will it match my home?

It is made of natural cotton and linen rope in neutral tones, so it blends in with most interiors and looks like a design choice, not an afterthought.

Can it help a nervous cat settle in?

Many owners of anxious indoor cats use it to give their cat a spot she can truly claim. Having a place that smells of her own scent can help her feel at home.
