Why Choose a Cardboard Scratching Board?
Our corrugated cardboard scratching boards embody minimalist design, sustainability, and functionality in perfect harmony. Take for example the GRATTOIR JUNIOR – compact cat scratcher, individually handcrafted in Berlin from FSC-certified corrugated cardboard using vegan, odor-free glue. With its elegant contours, it blends seamlessly into modern interiors, supports your cat’s natural scratching instincts, and enhances overall well-being. At the same time, it protects furniture and carpets with ease – durable, low-maintenance, and the ideal choice for design-loving, eco-conscious cat owners.
Why Do Cats Scratch a Scratching Board?
Scratching is a deeply rooted natural instinct for every cat. On a scratching board, they sharpen their claws and gently shed old claw sheaths, keeping their paws healthy and strong. At the same time, they mark their territory with the scent glands in their paws – a quiet but powerful way of creating a sense of security. Scratching also serves as a natural outlet for releasing stress and boredom, helping your cat to feel balanced, relaxed, and truly at home.
When Does My Cat Need a Large XXL Scratching Board?
This LA VAGUE XL Design is especially valuable if your cat:
-
has a large build (e.g., Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat),
-
enjoys stretching out fully while scratching rather than just pawing,
-
uses a lot of strength when scratching and quickly wears down smaller surfaces,
-
or if you have multiple cats sharing the same scratching furniture.
Large scratching boards not only provide more space for claw care but also offer versatile ways to relax, play, and unwind. Discover our MOLECULAR FAUTEUIL designer cat furniture – a stylish statement piece loved by cats and appreciated by owners with high standards.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Scratching Boards
What Is Best for Cats to Scratch?
The best options for cats are sturdy scratching surfaces made from natural materials such as corrugated cardboard, sisal, or wood. It’s important that the surface is easy to grip and pleasant for scratching. Ideally, cats should be offered a variety of shapes and positions (both horizontal and vertical) to suit their natural preferences.
Can Cat Scratching Have Side Effects?
Scratching itself has no negative side effects – it is natural and healthy for cats. Issues usually arise only when cats scratch furniture or walls. This can cause damage in the home and frustration for the cat if no suitable scratching alternatives are available.
How Can I Stop My Cat from Scratching Furniture?
To prevent cats from scratching furniture, provide them with attractive alternatives such as scratching boards or posts. Positive reinforcement and placing scratching furniture near your cat’s favorite scratching spots are also effective. Protective films or furniture covers can offer additional support.
