Pefilos 23" Cat Scratcher Cardboard Bed Bone Cat Scratching Pads Corrugated Cat Scratch Toy, Brown

"We have a 3-legged kitty named Captain Ahab and we had some issues finding him a scratching solution. He cannot jump as he is missing a back leg and he is kinda tubby so traditional scratching posts did not work for him. We tried a scratching post made for munchkin cats, but even though he did not need to jump he showed no interest in the scratching post (there goes $100 down the drain). I came across this scratch lounger and even though I was skeptical I was pretty desperate. Ahab had started to scratch half-heartedly on various things around the house, clearly frustrated that he did not have an adequate scratching option, so I figured why not and bit the bullet. It took Ahab a little bit to figure out what this was (he is not the brightest cat). First, he just sat on it, then he tried laying on it, and after a few days finally the first scratch! Since then, he has really taken to it! He seems much happier now that he has a good place to scratch and he still enjoys laying on it. We have had it for a little over a month and it is still sturdy and scratchable. The places where he scratches most frequently are definitely visible and I would guess that after around 6 months or so he is going to need a new one for fresh scratching, but I will be more than happy to do it."
