A Cardboard Cat Cottage That Doubles as a Scratcher

The cream walls feature a colourful illustration of a cottage facade — a door, circular window, leafy trees and stone detail — with a bold red tiled roof. An arched opening at the front lets cats enter and exit freely, and the corrugated cardboard floor and interior walls provide a scratch surface without needing a separate scratcher pad. A portion of catnip is included to encourage interest. Designed for cats up to 3.5 kg, it is lightweight, easy to relocate and folds flat for storage when not in use. A practical piece of indoor cat enrichment that

Description and experienceShow

Indoor cats need more than food and a bed — they need surfaces to scratch, spaces to retreat into and places that feel like their own territory. A flat floor scratcher is often ignored once the novelty fades. This cottage-shaped cardboard house addresses the problem differently: the corrugated cardboard interior is the scratch surface, so the house and the scratcher are the same object. Cats that might ignore a plain flat scratcher are often drawn to an enclosed space, making the cottage form a useful design choice rather than a purely decorative one. The included catnip helps establish the connection quickly — rub it on the floor and interior walls before introducing the house. The printed exterior gives the piece a character that makes it less of an eyesore in a living room than a standard corrugated scratcher. Folds flat when not needed. Suited to cats up to 3.5 kg.

A cardboard cat house shaped like a country cottage stands against a white background. The cream walls are printed with a cottage illustration including a front door, a circular window, leafy apple trees and a brick stone pattern, with a red tiled triangular roof. A real grey-and-white cat with bright yellow eyes sits inside, looking out through the arched front opening.

Guarantees, usage and supportShow

Technical review and performance

The house uses layered corrugated cardboard panels that slot and fold into the cottage shape without adhesive or fasteners. The roof panel is a separate piece that fits over the top section. The corrugated inner layer of the floor panel provides the scratch surface. Print is applied to the outer face of the wall panels.

Expert take

The cottage form works well for cats that prefer enclosed spaces — many cats that ignore flat scratchers will happily use a box-like structure because it feels sheltered. The corrugated cardboard floor is an effective scratch medium and the catnip inclusion means most cats investigate it within minutes of it being set out. The print quality on the exterior is good and the overall look is more considered than a plain brown cardboard box. Honest note: the floor will compress with regular heavy use, and a cat at or above 3.5 kg will shorten the lifespan of the scratcher floor noticeably. This suits indoor cats up to 3.5 kg who need enrichment and a scratch outlet, and households where a dedicated corner for a large scratching post is not practical. It is also a low-risk option for a cat that has not taken to scratchers before, given the enclosed house form that doubles as a hide.

Highlighted features

  • Corrugated Cardboard Scratcher Built In
  • Printed Cottage Design
  • Catnip Included
  • Folds Flat for Storage

Key benefits

  • Gives indoor cats a private retreat and scratch surface in a single, compact piece.
  • Encourages natural scratching behaviour without a separate scratcher taking up additional floor space.
  • Provides enclosed territory that satisfies a cat's instinct to seek out covered, sheltered spaces.
  • Adds a decorative, cottage-themed piece to a room rather than a plain utility scratcher.

Usage recommendations

  • Place the house in a spot your cat already uses as a resting area — familiar territory increases the chance of early adoption.
  • Rub catnip on the interior floor and walls before the first use to draw your cat in from the start.
  • Fold and store the house flat when travelling or when you need to reclaim the floor space temporarily.

What's included

Materials and composition

  • Corrugated Cardboard (house body, roof, floor and scratch surface)

Care recommendations

  • Vacuum loose cardboard debris from the floor and entry area weekly to keep the space tidy.
  • Wipe the printed exterior panels with a lightly damp cloth as needed; do not soak the cardboard.
  • Refresh the catnip scent monthly by rubbing a small amount onto the interior floor to maintain your cat's interest.
More information (optional)Show

Weight Limit and Longevity

The cottage is designed for cats up to 3.5 kg. For cats within this weight range, the corrugated floor provides a satisfying scratch surface over several weeks of daily use. The house folds flat when not in use, which extends its lifespan by reducing unnecessary compression of the cardboard structure when the cat is elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum weight for a cat using this house?
The house is designed for cats up to 3.5 kg. Heavier cats can use the arched opening to enter and exit, but the corrugated cardboard floor will compress more quickly under additional weight, shortening the scratcher lifespan.
Does it need tools to assemble?
No tools are required. The house uses a fold-and-slot cardboard construction that assembles by hand in a few minutes, and folds flat again for storage.
How do I get my cat to use it?
Rub the included catnip onto the interior floor and walls before introducing the house. Place it in a spot where your cat already spends time. Most cats investigate and begin scratching within a short period once the catnip scent is present.
Is the cardboard safe if chewed?
The cardboard is plain corrugated board. Light chewing is normal for some cats and is not harmful. If your cat ingests significant amounts, redirect them with a catnip toy.
How long does the scratcher floor last?
Lifespan depends on how frequently and heavily the cat uses the floor. With a single cat under 3.5 kg scratching daily, expect several weeks of use before the floor shows heavy wear.
