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 / 100

Here 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.

Best forA cat owner tired of scratched furniture or carpet
Avoid ifSkip it if the cat prefers tall vertical posts, or if the owner rents and does not want adhesive on a wall.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
