I usually buy Fat Cat Kitty Hoots Big Mama's Scratchy Box Double Wide Purple but when I bought a cat tree I thought I wouldn't need this anymore. My cat proved me wrong when he started going after the office chair. Not wanting to wait for shipping, I bought the Kong scratcher at a local pet store and he seems to like it just as well as the Fat Cat. This is good news since he didn't like the generic PetSmart version.

When I first put it down, he rolls around in the catnip and falls asleep. I don't refresh the catnip but I see him everyday, at least once, go over to the box to either scratch or lie on it. He especially likes to go over to it when we come home for a good scratch and stretch before greeting us. The doublewide box perfectly fits his 11 pound frame.

The Fat Cat scratcher is tackier looking as it's purple with yellow tassels. Beige, this is more neutral looking and isn't such an eyesore. It's not as easy to flip the cardboard because it's more secured on the Kong version. Also, the Kong box warped. so it pooches out on the sides of the cardboard a bit.

My girl kitty doesn't usually scratch the box. She seems to prefer the upright posts on the cat tree but she'll come lie on it and chew on the edges.

Every cat has their own preferences... this is a cheap potential solution to save the furniture.

I thought I was ordering the refill for the incline Kong Scratcher. This product is what was brought up when I put "Kong Refill" in the search engine. Now with that said, I still like the product. I just leaned it against something and the cats took to it immediately. My incline had been used so much (and reversed) that they couldn't use it the way it was intended. The local pet store is selling this scratcher for $11.99 for 1. They also think this is a refill for the incline scratcher. Kong CS2 is just a scratcher, not a refill. I saved money buying 2 of these.

Our cat is 13 and has never really loved any scratching furniture we've bought her. But when we put down a new area rug, she nearly decimated it in 2 nights. So we ordered a Kong. She took to it instantly, and scratches it and lies on it constantly. She's nearly used up the first side in only 2 weeks, so we bought a bunch of refills. It is messy, with little pieces of cardboard all over, but we like that better than piles of rug fibers!

We have 3 cats and we've used cardboard scratchers for them before. Usually, about 2-3 weeks after we put one out, we need to flip it over and give them the second side. With the Kong scratcher, we've had it out for over a month now and haven't had to flip it over. The cats also seemed to enjoy the catnip that the Kong comes with a lot more than other brands.

This is the item that was coupled with the Kong Natural Incline Scratcher on that item's Amazon advertisement page. Because Kong Natural does not mark or name their refills for the Kong Natural Incline Scratcher in any clear way, (I have yet to find the refills for the incline scratcher), I purchased this item as a refill for the Incline Scratcher Toy... it is not.

This is not a refill for that item and in fact is 1 1/2 inches too wide. I simply used a razor knife and cut off the excess from one side and then fit it into the incline scratcher and it worked fine.

I gave it five stars because it does not claim to be a refill for the incline scratcher, (but then, none of the Kong Natural scratchers do claim to be a refill), so I take responsibility for the error.

Just as in my review of the Kong Natural Incline Scratcher Toy, this item is well-made and stands up to the heavy use that my two cats put it through very well. One side will last about two weeks with my cats. The item also includes catnip.

I do recommend this item
