FUKUMARU Cat Scratcher Mat. 23.6 X 15.7 Inch Natural Sisal Cat Scratch Mats. Horizontal Cat Floor Scratching Pad Rug with Sticky Tapes. Protect Couch and Carpets

I bought it for the floor , I thought it would stick to the floor so it wouldn’t make be when she scratches it but it does not stick. It has two Velcro strips which is good to attach to your couch if you have a fabric like couch . However I still would rate it a 5 stars because she still scratches on it I just have to place something heavy on the side of the mat to prevent it from rolling and moving around when she scratches,I definitely think it’s a good buy!

Not saying it doesn't work, it actually is a good idea!! ..quite frankly, i would use it , if i were a cat , but my cat rolls his eyes and walks away when he sees this mat.

This is a well-made cat scratching pad. Sadly, it did not work for my two cats. I’ve had it now for a few months to see if they would warm up to it and use it for scratching, but they don’t. They prefer just to sit on it now and then. The product is well-made but it just didn’t work for my two cats.

My cats were drawn to this as soon as I took it out of the packaging. Even after scratching it, they anjoyed laying on it. I'm hoping this will save my couch from their claws.

Works perfectly. My cat was scratching my couch, so this detours her. I stuck it to my floor and it blends well with my floor, the size is ideal. Happy with my purchase.

The second I opened it and placed it, my cat immediately went to scratch it and roll around. She wouldn’t even let me relocate it because she fell in love apparently.
It’s also pretty not ugly cardboard and it will last longer too. Great purchase

Perfect! My family is fostering 3 kittens and the rescue didn’t have any extra scratchers. This item was reasonably priced, had great reviews, and was available for overnight shipping with Prime. I unrolled the mat and rolled it the other way and it was flattened enough. My shyest kitten immediately started scratching. These kittens prefer to scratch horizontally, but this mat came with a sticky strip to hang it vertically to protect walls or furniture. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another mat in the future. It is very light weight but well made.

Bought this mat two years ago and our cat loves it! He will only scratch sisal, and he will murder it. I made a ramp for it so that the sisal can be replaced when the time comes. A little catnip spray and scratching on it yourself will get them going!

This has become his favorite spot in the house. As soon as I layed it down and he walked on it, laid down and tested it out. Glad I made the decision to purchase it.

After having searched online for extra heavy duty sisal fabric to replace the original fabric that came on a scratching post with no success, I decided to try a different approach. Fortunately, the material on this mat is flexible enough to bend around the four corners of the post and it turned out great. The mat is held in place with wood screws on the back side which are not visible in the picture.

I have multiple cats & they all love this sisal mat! It's good for scratching, but also comfortable for sitting. Our previous cardboard scratching boards were constantly shedding cardboard, so this scratching mat keeps our house tidy. I highly recommend it & so do my cats!

Nailed these to the wall to create a DIY climbing wall for my cat and he is just obsessed. The scratchers have some sticky adhesive that comes on the back on them, though it seemed kind of flimsy so if your cat is using them for climbing I would definitely nail them in for extra sturdiness. For the price these were a no brainer. I’m eventually planning to trim them to better fit my walls but even without that they were super malleable and easy to put up. All around this product was a win

I have 2 cats, one of whom is a big horizontal scratcher, and it has been driving me nuts that he loves to scratch the carpeted floor. I finally decided that it would be a better idea to just get him a horizontal scratching surface so he could hopefully stop scratching the carpet and start scratching something that is meant to be scratched. Well, as soon as I took the mat out of its packaging and placed it on the floor, he was like a moth to the flame! He went RIGHT over to it and starting scratching it, which blew me away. I hadn't even put catnip on it yet and he was rubbing his face all over the mat, too. It's definitely a hit.

The mat itself is really well made, and I recommend it over the cardboard scratchers. This is a much more durable material, the sisal rope/twine, and it will hold up much longer than cardboard, too. It's not even expensive, either, so I bought two mats - one for the living room, and one for my office.

I unwrapped this and laid it on the floor, took less than 5 seconds for Paislee to lay down on it and start scratching. By the time I grabbed my phone to video her, she was also chewing on it. lol. She is so in love with this mat that I am going to buy her more to put in other rooms as well. This is a quality mat and made very well, no odor at all and I have a very sensitive nose.

So my five month old Savannah Bangle eats on top of the refrigerator. His rear claws were putting holes through the paneling and he was having difficulty getting up to his food. This was just the help he needed and it’s saving the paneling

I have three cats, and they just love this FUKUMARU Cat Scratcher Mat! I placed it in front of one of their litter boxes and they wipe their paws on it to clean their claws! Works great for keeping the floor clean of cat litter! When they're done, I simply dump the cat litter that came off of their claws back into the cat box!
I'm going to buy another one real soon as they also love to scratch at it!
This is a good quality product, looks like it should last for years! I recommend buying one of these FUKUMARU Cat Scratcher Mat's for your furry friends!

Cats immediately started using it! I put some cat nip on there and the cats love it! First thing they go to in the am! It’s a decent size and just the kind of material they like to dig their claws into.

love this mat for my cats! they totally shredded my last sofa. i bought this and they don’t touch my sofa. i am ordering a couple more just to be safe. they were on it as soon as i put it down!

My cat loves to hang out on the back of my office chair, to the detriment of the chair back surface. This cat scratch mat has enough flexibility that I could fold it over the chair back, and secure it with a strap. Now my cat can jump up, have a good scratch session, and then hang out while I'm working on the computer. Win-win!

When I received this mat I immediately put it down on the floor. 3 cats immediately started to try and destroy the mat. So far after a month, the mat looks brand new. This is one tough scratching mat! My cats use it at least 5 times a day to sharpen their claws. It's fastened to the floor with the tape that came with the mat. Save your furniture and get this mat. My cats have given up on their other scratching posts and only use the mat now. Well worth the money!

The mat itself is thick and sturdy. I didn't use the adhesive backing at first and my cat has been using it on the floor for several months; it holds up well so far.

I got a new office chair recently that my cat likes to scratch at the back of, so I decided to attach it there. I saw some mixed reviews of the adhesive backing and didn't trust that it would hold well to the chair's cloth surface, so I bought these adhesive sheets to help it stick - https://a.co/d/iFKduPH

I used two sheets under the mat, and the mat sticks to them very well. I was not able to reposition the mat after applying it the first time, so it shouldn't move with my cat scratching at it. If you're considering this mat but worried about it staying stuck, I recommend the linked adhesive sheets.

My babies love it and i love it because it doesn't leave cardboard shards all over the house! I wish there was a better way to stick it to carpet but it's holding up well.

What I like is that my cat likes this mat. She can often be found stretching or simply curled up on it on a sunny day. I every so often will drop a pinch of cat nip on the mat, which makes her rub her cheeks on the mat before rolling over on it with great joy.

I love this scratching mat (because my cats do). One of them actually stayed downstairs last night to sleep on it, which has never happened before. It’s also her favorite spot when she’s downstairs with me. The second I put it down, one of them sniffed it and promptly fell asleep on it before I could even move it where I wanted to keep it. The only problem was that it was so tightly rolled before I opened it that the edges wouldn’t stay down and it took awhile for it to naturally flatten completely. However, this also made it easy to put and keep on a leather chair that one of my cats scratches constantly because the edges would wrap around the seat. I don’t see a huge problem with the rolled edges (as there is a very unlikely chance that any other mat would come completely flat), but they can be inconvenient if you want to put the mat on the floor without taping it down.

READ READ READ. I forgot to read and actually measure out where I wanted this mat to go. Is it a mat? Ehhh, depending on how you plan to use it, possibly. Probably best suited for the bottom of a cat tree or on a very small piece of furniture you want to protect from your cat.
I was hoping to use it to replace my doormat that my cats annihilated, but it’s much too small.

One thing about cats is that you need to turn your space into a cat's space. If your cat is scratching your couch, speakers, walls, etc... this is what you need! I have two of these downstairs on both sides of my couch and then one upstairs that I adhered to a wall. My cat RARELY scratches anything other than his scratching mats.

My cats definitely do use it! Originally, I meant to have it as a mat near their cat tree. They did not dig it being on the floor. Stuck it to the wall though? Much better. They normally use it at least once a day, but not crazy often.

Here's a tip: If you're "mounting" it to the wall you may want to get a few velcro strips to reinforce it.

I bought this mainly for a floor mat where my cats look out my french door windows so they had some sort of comfort since they’re there all the time. As soon as I laid it out they started enjoying it. They don’t really use it as a scratcher but I have posts & boards they prefer. This item does have double sided tape/velcro on the bottom already attached if you do want to apply it vertically but the non slip bottom definitely works on the floor without using the tape. I plan to buy another so there’s one on each side of the doors for them since apparently they don’t like to share lol

Great Scratcher, but does easily come off from cat scratching it. Only disappointment in this product . Gonna have to put extra tape on it maybe frog tape 😆 lol

My new cat is my first non-declawed cat. She doesn’t seem to hate having her nails trimmed but she is a bit squirmy. She also doesn’t really like vertical scratching posts so when I saw her clawing at the carpet i immediately started looking for a little floor scratcher mat for her. She’s used it twice already and seems to like it
I scratched it with my nails to show her what it’s for (though I’m not sure how necessary that was lol) and she has been using this instead of the carpet

I put a little catnip spray on this and my cat uses it consistently! He chooses it over my couch which makes me happy. I didn’t realize it came with adhesive Velcro strips so I bought command strips to hang it, but I figured I would try the strips it came with first. They work alright, but every time my cat scratches, part of it pops off the wall. I just push it back down. We will see how long it survives before I end up using the command strips.

I don’t have action shots but my kitties were drawn to it from the start—all three (the worst of the rug maulers isn’t pictured but trust me, he loves it too) gave it a try within half an hour and they’re choosing it over the nice rugs. I didn’t use the adhesion discs to stick it to the floor but it still does a pretty good job of staying in place and it’s sturdy enough to handle them. My little tuxie brings it presents at night, as you can see. I’m SO glad I got it!

Have been using the cardboard scratcher. As other cat owners know it doesn't take long before they shed all over your floor. My cats love them. Was worried about trying something different. No worries. My three cats living with me love this scratcher. So far it is not shedding like other sisal scratch posts have done. It is attractive looks like small foot wiper. I have it in living room and doesn't look like cat furniture. Will be buying more as I have 17 cats total. Don't know about adhesion. But just laying on carpet it is staying in place.

My tortoiseshell cat, Rowan, used and loved her corrugated horizontal scratching boards. UNFORTUNATELY, she also loved to EAT them and I can't imagine the glue, materials are exactly kitty vitamins. She would sometimes throw up. I would find bits of the cardboard she had torn off around the house.

SO I thought this sisal mat might work. OUR experience so far:

First, it's wrapped up TIGHTLY, so CURLED and a little difficult to UNCURL at first. LUCKILY, I had gotten big multiple packs of canned cat food and some big plastic jugs of Cat's Pride cat litter today. HEAVY items. SO I placed them on each end of the mat to hold it down and hopefully get it to uncurl.

Second, I sprinkled a little catnip on it and waited.

WITHIN MINUTES, Rowan was scratching at it.

So PROS as I see them:

NOT a mat she can easily or want to chew like Corrugated CARDBOARD, PLUS!

Seems DURABLE.

GOOD SIZE and I didn't get the biggest one and she's an 11 pd cat.

ON SALE!

CON:

It DOES come with Velcro circles which you can put under the mat, but if your cat if fairly big and good scratcher, it still may pull the mat up. BUT I can put ends under furniture legs, put something heavy by ends if need be.

BOTTOMLINE: STILL feel it's worth it as better than what I had, she seems to like it and no more eating cardboard.

I love the idea behind this product, it’s minimal and cheap. My cat is constantly scratching my furniture and walls so i decided to purchase this instead of an overpriced cat tree. The adhesive is great on walls, but will leave a stick ugly residue as well as taking off paint, so i tried it on a wooden piece of furniture and it continues to fall down without me or my cat touching it, which is very frustrating. I wish i could put it somewhere long term but i rent this apartment and i will be fined for damages, so if you have a place to keep this long term then i do recommend this product. The next thing is my cat has 0 interest in it. It’s probably my cat, though she does enjoy tearing things up, but It’s a bit annoying that it doesn't stay up long enough to peak her interest. Anyway, i’ll continue to try it out. But do not put this on your walls unless you want it there for awhile.

Well made, but could have been a little larger. This statement because Lucky is part, more most than less, Maine Coon, 3ft. w/tail. To him size doesn't matter: he still tries to fit in paper bags. The most suitable piece of equipment to withstand my boy's 1" claws. Durable, tough as nails. And, it hasn't shredded like other brands.

A feral cat came into our backyard in January and decided to stay permanently. There are other cats that come to our yard, but they leave after eating. Because of the cold weather, I had set-up our picnic table as shelter for cats. I placed barnhomes or cathouses under it. Last month, I called him Timi, and offered him a plate of food. He came to me and from then on, he became our outdoor pet cat. Timi was a very sweet cat. I am looking for someone to adopt him. On Mar. 2, we took him to our Vet for health check. He was given vaccines. Now that weather has warmed up, I created various types of shelter, such as this "tent", just behind our kitchen. I bought him a new scratcher, toys, etc. He still loves the old one made of cardboard, which I placed inside the Amazon box.

My cats took to this right away, lying on it and sharpening their claws. As they have another sharpener, I mostly use this to trap the kitty litter by putting their litter box on it, and it works well for that. I gave it four stars because it smelled chemically when I first unwrapped it and I had to leave it outside for a few days. Companies, we really want you to stop using chemicals!

I liked that it was delivered quickly and It looked well made. However, whenever l purchase a specific size- l usually take out my measuring tape and take a mental picture of the size. This time, l didn't do that and I went by the 1st picture in the product information. The mat appeared to be a nice size being that l have a cat like the one in the photo. When l received it, l was dissapointed by the actual size. The size is
smaller, more like the 3rd photo in the product information. The measurements they gave were correct but, on the 1st photo the mat shown looks larger. As for durability- l can't really say because l just received it several weeks ago. It does seem sturdy. I do know that it slides on tile and laminate wood floors. The underneath is made of a grey felt like material. It is not rubberized . It will probably stay put better on a carpeted floor.

My cat immediately took to the mat, and scratched it. She knows it's for her. I did spray a little catnip spray on it first to attract her. So far, so good, on day 1. Hopefully she will continue to scratch the mat instead of the area rug. Smaller than I expected but I sometimes don't size things out even though measurements are provided. I would recommend other buyers to measure it out so you get the right size for you. Our cat is 8 lbs and a larger one would be preferred but this one is fine.
