Cat Scratchers
Scratching is a natural part of a cat’s daily routine. It helps them stretch their body, maintain their claws and leave familiar scent marks around their territory. Cat Scratchers give them a dedicated place for this behaviour while helping reduce scratching on sofas, carpets and furniture edges.
Every cat has different habits. A kitten may be perfectly happy with a compact model, while an adult cat will often prefer a taller scratcher that allows them to stretch fully or climb. Magic Cat offers a variety of sizes and designs, making it easier to choose an option that suits both your living space and your cat’s preferences.

Choose a scratcher to suit your cat’s habits and your home
A suitable scratcher should be stable enough to stay firmly in place while your cat scratches and stretches. Compact models often work well for kittens or smaller homes, while adult cats that enjoy climbing are better suited to taller, sturdier designs.
When choosing, it helps to consider how your cat likes to scratch, where they spend most of their time and how active they are during the day:
- Cat Scratchers by size: the height and base should match your cat’s body size. If your cat prefers scratching upright, choose a model tall enough for them to stretch out almost fully.
- Suitable scratching surface: the scratching area should be durable and provide enough resistance for the claws. If your cat scratches in several places, an additional scratching surface near a favourite resting spot or along a frequently used route can be useful.
- Design based on how your cat uses it: a simple scratching post is often enough for cats that mainly need a dedicated place to scratch. Multi-level models or designs with resting platforms are better suited to cats that enjoy climbing, observing their surroundings and moving between different resting spots.
For everyday use, Trixie offers a range of practical sizes and designs that can be matched to your cat’s individual habits. EPICPET adds further options, making it easier to compare different styles and choose one that fits comfortably into your home.
