Trick your cat into scratching this wall-mounted scratching pad instead of your sofa

The Way Basics Premium Wall Mount Scratch Pad ($7.99) from Amazon. 

Your cat might be determined to sink their claws into a sofa, but you can give them something equally tempting: A wall-mounted scratch pad that a) gets their job done, and b) doesn’t look like crap hanging up in your house. 

Way Basics’ premium scratching pad is just $8 on Amazon right now, and it’s got a slim profile and an easy attachment setup that looks great in your house — no matter which room it’s in. It’s much thicker and lasts twice as long as regular scratching pads, so it’s a buy-once-give-them-joy-for-ages kind of a deal. 

The scratching pad hangs up on the wall without any sort of drywall-demolishing setup: Instead, you just use the adhesive to stick it on the wall (it’s about a pound, so it’s not a hugely heavy kind of thing). One word of warning: While the adhesive is strong, it does tend to take the paint off (if you can, some recommend screwing or nailing it in). 

The cat scratcher even comes with Silver Vine catnip included, so you can just sprinkle a bit in the scratching pad’s grooves to pique your cat’s fancy while they claw away. (And then pop some popcorn for yourself, because there are few things more entertaining than a stoned cat with a mission.)  

The board is made from 99% post-consumer recycled paper, so you can feel a little better about the Earth when you’re purchasing this present for your feline friend. 

Shop the pad —and scratch that itch your cat loves to, well, scratch — over at Amazon.
