Pros and cons
What we like
- Made of 100% natural, biodegradable sisal
- Lies flat on the floor or mounts on a wall
- Adhesive included for easy installation
- Doubles as a play mat or a sleeping spot
What may bother
- Flat shape gives less of a full stretch than a tall scratching post
- Wall mounting relies on adhesive, which is awkward in a rental
- Sisal sheds fibers and wears down as the cat uses it
Our verdict
82 / 100Here is a gift for the cat owner whose sofa has taken a beating. The mat can lie on the floor or go on a wall, and it looks neater than a carpeted tower. Skip it if the cat insists on stretching up a tall post.
