Scratching is essential for a cat's health and state of mind.  It signifies their claim to territory in their habitat, and it provides good exercise to keep their claws and paws in good shape.  In the wild, cats scratch on the trunks and branches of trees to leave their scent and their mark.  Similarly, corrugated cardboard, as a product derived from trees, provides an instinctive connection for housecats to their outdoor nature.

The Endless Buffet scratcher provides ample space for even large cats to stand atop it, arch their backs, and dig their claws into it.  And it's great just for lounging!  While 4" in height might not seem like much to us humans, it's a great podium for a kitty to feel above the rest of their world while providing plenty of room to drape themselves across it or curl up and nap. The thicker corrugated makes for a long-lasting scratcher and your cats will love digging into it because of its density!

The faux brand "ChickenPuss" is a nickname Square Paws founder, Mario, had for his first cat, Slinky.  Slinky crossed the rainbow bridge in 2018, and the label is Mario's way of remembering the bond he felt with his first feline companion.
