Neat trick. I have a cat at home who will appreciate this.

Thank you thank you thank you for the wonderful and innovative idea on how to make a cat scratcher instead of having to buy the overpriced versions at a store! I followed your instructions but made some modifications so I could just finish the project with tape instead of having to find paper/fabric for it, oh and I made it shorter so I could have more strips out of one cardboard box. The first one I made by hand cutting the strips with a utility knife, which took me 2.5 hrs for a 16″ diameter scratcher; after that my boyfriend ran a couple of boxes through a table saw in under 10 minutes, so all I have to do is tape the strips together – yay! This will be an excellent project for my younger sister as she is too young to volunteer at animal shelters but wants to help kitties. Cat scratchers galore, coming to a shelter near us! Thank you again!

I tried this a while back and , while my cat loves it, it looks too homemade. I just couldn’t cut the pieces well enough so that they were all exaaaactly the same height when all coiled up. Next time I do one I’ll buy a new x-acto knife blade and use smaller boxes. Yours looks great!
