Our designer scratching boards unite style and function in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully crafted in Berlin with sustainable materials – elegant, durable, and adored by cats all over the world
Why a Scratching Board is Essential for Cats
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.

uses a lot of strength when scratching and quickly wears down smaller surfaces,

FAQ: Cat Scratching Behavior
What is best for cats to scratch?
The best options for cats are stable scratching surfaces made from natural materials such as corrugated cardboard, sisal, or wood. It is important that the surface provides a good grip and feels pleasant for scratching. Ideally, cats should be offered different shapes and positions – both horizontal and vertical – so they can express their natural scratching behavior fully.
What side effects can scratching have for cats?
Scratching itself has no negative side effects – it is a completely natural and healthy behavior for cats. Problems only arise when no suitable scratching options are available. In such cases, cats turn to alternatives like furniture or walls, which can cause damage in the home and frustration for the cat.
How can you stop cats from scratching furniture?
To prevent cats from scratching furniture, it is important to provide them with attractive alternatives such as scratching boards, posts, or dedicated scratching furniture. These should be placed near the cat’s preferred scratching spots. Positive reinforcement – for example, through praise or treats – helps redirect the behavior. Additionally, protective foils or furniture covers can help safeguard delicate surfaces.
