If the Miller kitties aren’t using the Scratch Lounge for scratching purposes, they are using it for napping purposes! So our sofa gets a double break, the cats aren’t using the sofa for their scratching games and they are sleeping on the Scratch Lounge instead of the couch cushions.
When given a choice, the Rainbolt Test Kitties preferred Scratch Lounge... Even the declawed rescue cats seem to enjoy the feel of cardboard pads beneath their feet... The Rainbolt Test Kitties gave four paws to the Scratch Lounge.
Scratch Lounge was awarded the 2006 Editor's Choice by Pet Product News!
The Scratch Lounge is designed to encourage cats to scratch and lounge on it. It lasts up to 10 times longer than traditional flat scratchers, according to the company. We liked this innovative scratcher because of the amount of scratching surface and the fact that it doubles as a napping spot for cats.

The Scratch Lounge's simple, yet functional design has substantially improved upon the conventional cat scratcher by tapping into a whole new aspect of cat psychology.

The test cats loved this highly evolved cardboard scratching pad that doubles as a bed... The lounge seems to constantly be occupied by many of the test cats. We gave it five paws.
The Scratch Lounge plays a distinct role in our household now.
It’s used for sleep, play, communication and general mayhem.
It is also a source of arguments as the cats fight over whose turn
it is to lie in the middle of it, and often two or three can be
found curled up inside together.
The feral cats that we care for love the Scratch Lounge as
well. It’s not “walled” and this offers the wilder
bunch a fast route of escape while allowing them to feel secure
at the same time. I believe it’s the first time I’ve
seen them truly relax together.
Thank you. I just brought home my first lounge and within two seconds Lucy was all over it!
Congratulations on a super product.
Thank you,

Ordered 2 originally - one we kept and gave second one to friends with three cats. Ours was an instant hit and proved amazingly durable - think we must have had it for 8-10 months - shared between Kitty Ballou and Mr. Whisk. Left out in the rain and kind-of turned into a soggy mess. When new one arrived Kitty Ballou (as in the movie Cat Ballou) jumped in before I could get the ends off it to reclaim primary title to it!!
Attached pic shows her truly 'lounging'!!!

I was not sure if Miss Kitty would appreciate her Scratch Lounge, but the proof is in the picture. Miss Kitty prefers having the ends left on for a better cat nap.

...From a very happy client.
Big Bebe loves his Scratch Lounge. He just laughs when the other two cats in the family come by. Sharing is out of the question.

I have used my Scratch Lounge every day since I got it. I love the way I can easily deposit my scent into the bottom and sides, I can hang out in it to feel cozy, I can scratch it real good, and the best part is it matches my eyes! Good thing my Mom got two, so my sister and I don't have to compete. My Mom is a cat behavior consultant, and she's been telling all of her clients about the Scratch Lounge. Thanks for knowing just what we want!

As you can see from the attached photo, the Scratch Lounge is a huge hit with these two cats. Thank you very much.

We got the scratcher and Ziggy (see below) pretty much isn't leaving at all? Who would have thunk...

We got one of your Scratch Lounges for Mocha, our Siberian kitten, and she loves it! But, she has recently started to have competition, even though she is the only kitty in the house. Who said only cats enjoy the Scratch Lounge? I am sending you a picture of our cocker spaniel, Milly, who also seems to think it makes a great bed -- much to Mocha's dismay! We may have to get a second one so they can each have their own!
Many thanks for a great product!
Penny, Milly and Mocha
We're sending a couple photos of Whiner on the Scratch Lounge. She's been enjoying it alot -- a whole lot.
Thanks again,
Dave
Who said cat lounges are only for small, limber kittens? Weighing in at 17 lbs. and 19 lbs. each, respectively, my cats - NASDAQ and Starbucks, enjoy their lounges to the fullest! These lounges are a small haven for them, offering catnip, toys and a relaxing refuge. I think they'll never go back to regular scratchers. Thank you for these!

Our
boys Isaac and Moses were immediately curious about the Scratch
Lounge and took to it right away. Isaac was greedy and wanted
one just for himself, so we bought a second lounge for Moses.
The boys continue to enjoy their lounges.
Thanks for such a great product!!

Look what you created... she can't get off
it!
To
the makers of Scratch Lounge,
I am writing to thank you for such a wonderful product!! The
moment I put the Scratch Lounge down on the floor, Summer (seen
in picture) made it hers and she just cannot get enough Lounge time!!
Is there magic in this thing??? Can you make one for humans? Whenever
my friends or family come over, we all marvel in envy at the pure
contentment Summer is experiencing just lounging in her Lounge!
Thanks again!
Eileen (and Summer!)
Here is my cat Leia, who is 11 years-old, enjoying
her Scratch Lounge. She effectively "owns" it and keeps my other
two cats from using it (well, this is what she thinks).

I ordered two of your Scratch Lounges after
a friend told me how much her cat enjoyed theirs. Apparently I should
have ordered more...as you'll see from the attached photo, "Fenway"
is doing his best to entice "Annika" (left) or "Rocket"
to vacate their respective lounges, so he can take his turn!

I just purchased your product and my cats love
it! See my photos!
Hi
there,
I run an animal rescue group in Denver and
we care for homeless dogs and cats in foster homes until permanent
homes can be found. One of my neighbors adopted two cats from our
rescue group. I went over there today to take pictures and she had
purchased two of your Scratch Lounges. What awesome products these
are! The cats loved them and they are very well made.
Thanks for thinking of our feline friends
and providing them with a great scratching tool!
Thanks,

You guys are geniuses! I've been having trouble
with my cat preferring to scratch my girlfriend's expensive rug
as opposed to the flat scratching pad I had used for years. When
I saw the Scratch Lounge I thought it sounded like a great idea,
so I bought one immediately. I brought it home, rubbed some catnip
into it and placed it by Emma. She instantly started rubbing against
it and within a minute was going crazy and scratching up a storm!
Now it's her favorite place to hang out.
Thanks, Scratch Lounge people!
Cheers,

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that our Scratch Lounge came
today. I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy it is. Much higher
quality than I expected. BUT, the best part is that my little guy,
LEO, absolutely loves
it. He got right in and knew just what to do even though he's not
ever had one before.
Great product. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.
