Snug – Compact Cardboard Cat Scratcher, Handmade in Britain

A little scratch, a little stretch and a lovely place to snooze!

Small but beautifully made, the Snug is a premium cardboard cat scratcher designed especially for kittens and smaller cats who love to scratch, stretch and curl up somewhere comfortable.

Handmade in Peterborough, England, using dense five-layer corrugated cardboard and a stylish wooden surround, the Snug offers a rather lovely alternative to ordinary cardboard scratching boards.

Its gently curved surface creates a satisfying place to sharpen claws, while the shallow dip provides a cosy spot for lounging and afternoon naps.

At just 59cm long and 13cm high, it's the smallest scratcher in the range, making it ideal for kittens discovering the joys of scratching and smaller adult cats who prefer somewhere low and easy to access.

A Cosy Little Spot for Scratching & Snoozing

Why choose between a scratching board and a comfortable place to relax when your cat can enjoy both?

The Snug's gently contoured design provides a generous corrugated cardboard surface that encourages natural scratching behaviours while doubling as a comfortable lounging spot.

• Scratch: Dense corrugated cardboard provides a satisfying texture for scratching and claw maintenance.
• Stretch: The low, stable design allows kittens and smaller cats to enjoy a good stretch without climbing.
• Snooze: The gently curved surface creates a cosy little resting place for cats who enjoy curling up.

It's a simple combination that makes the Snug much more than an ordinary cat scratcher.

Handmade in Britain with Care

Beautifully crafted, not mass-produced.

Every Snug is individually cut, assembled and finished by hand in Peterborough, England.

Made using five-layer corrugated cardboard, a wooden surround and water-based glue, it's designed to provide a durable scratching surface while looking rather smart in your home.

The wooden sides are available in brown, white or black, giving you a choice of finishes to complement your interior.

With its understated design and quality construction, the Snug looks equally at home beside the sofa, in a bedroom or in your cat's favourite sunny corner.

Why Cats Love Corrugated Cardboard

Cats have a natural instinct to scratch, and corrugated cardboard offers a wonderfully satisfying surface for doing just that.

Its textured structure gives slightly beneath the claws, allowing cats to dig in and enjoy a good stretch.

Regular scratching helps cats maintain their claws, exercise their muscles and mark familiar areas with their scent.

Providing an appealing scratching surface can also help encourage your cat to choose their own furniture rather than yours!

The Snug features a reversible scratching deck, so when one side becomes worn, simply turn it over to make use of the second surface.

Perfect for Kittens & Smaller Cats

The Snug is particularly well suited to kittens learning where and how to scratch.

Its low 13cm profile makes it easy for little paws to explore, while the stable construction provides a reassuring surface for stretching and playing.

It's equally appealing to smaller adult cats, particularly those who enjoy resting on gently curved surfaces.

Its compact 59 × 29cm footprint also makes it a practical choice for flats, smaller rooms or households wanting an additional scratching spot without another large cat tree.

And when your kitten grows up? The Snug can remain a useful second scratching station elsewhere in the house.

Product Specifications

Choosing the Right Size

The Snug is the smallest design in the range and is particularly suitable for kittens and smaller cats.

For medium or larger adult cats, we recommend considering a longer scratcher that provides additional space for stretching and lounging.

As a general guide, choose a scratching surface that allows your cat to stretch comfortably. If you're unsure between sizes, the larger option may provide more room as your kitten grows.

Care & Maintenance

Place the Snug on a stable, dry surface in an area where your cat enjoys spending time.

Remove loose cardboard fragments as necessary. Some shedding is normal as cats scratch and wear down the surface.

When the upper scratching surface becomes worn, turn over the reversible cardboard deck to make use of the second scratching surface.

Keep the Snug dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, which may weaken the cardboard.

Inspect regularly for damage or excessive wear and replace when necessary.

Please note: As each Snug is handmade, minor variations in finish may occur. The lifespan of the scratching surface will depend on your cat's scratching habits and frequency of use.
