Cat scratchers are everyday items that combine practicality with entertainment value. Through optimized structural design, they satisfy a cat's needs for both claw maintenance and rest while minimizing the impact of paper debris on the home environment, making them a popular choice for pet owners.
The core material of these scratchers is high-density corrugated cardboard, formed by bonding together multiple layers of wavy paperboard. This structure withstands the lateral tension generated during scratching and resists breakage thanks to the inherent toughness of the paper fibers. The surface undergoes a special embossing process to achieve optimal friction-satisfying the cat's physiological need to scratch without being so rough that it injures their paw pads. Some products feature a dual-layer composite design, combining an abrasion-resistant outer layer with a cushioning inner layer to further extend the product's lifespan.
