- Scratching is an essential part of your cat's life. Make this simple DIY cat scratcher to provide your pet a great scratch area and some safety for your furniture.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make it yourself, but take care of your pet. Use non-toxic materials and never add any pieces that can easily detach. If you see your cat chewing cardboard, immediately remove the item from your pet’s environment.

Cool! I made one last night - now all I need is a cat.
Did you get a cat?
Actually, I already do have a calico cat. But I think I'll just buy the scratch pads.
Rob I lol
Haha..ur so funny
Me too lol😥😅
Love it! I wouldn’t glue it to the bottom tho, that way I can turn it around and have 2 times the amount of use!
Good point :) Thanks

true! you got to smooth that other surface now, so it's all even :)
Smart!
Note that corrugated cardboard cuts differently in different directions. You want to cut the strips in the direction that exposes the up-and-down bends in the corrugating.
Nice, practical DIY project. And it can help in recycling old boxes. Love that it was cat approved.
+Sweska Shiro they really liked it! thanks for the comment :)
*final exam is approaching*
Me: *proceeds to make cat scratcher*
Cat is *LIFE*
Lol! Same.

Thank you! I'll make this for my baby boy right now. He is a neighborhood cat (my mom doesnt like cats for some reason so I can't have one :( ) and I help take care of him. His name is MeMeow and he was abandoned. My neighbor feeds him and gives him water while I make sure his health is okay and play with him. So I think I am his owner!
I got way off topic! Sorry, and thank you so much! :D
+Fowlover123 AJPW that is actually great to know. Memeow is so lucky. You are the best 😻

Why, thank you!
Thank you for looking after MeMeow. Hope he's doing fine and you made him the scratcher ❤
How is MeMeow? ^^
Bought the pizza. Didn't make the scratcher.
I made this and decorated it with colored cardstock! My cats love it! I didn't have to turn the pizza box inside out. I just cut off the sides, made the one side edge and glued it in to the bottom. Worked like a charm. My cat that hates scratching on the sisal post has taken to this and is finally leaving my coffee table legs alone! Thank you so much! I can't wait to make more!
(I wrote my review on the wrong DIY video like a dunce, whoops.)
Im guessing it doesnt last long amd leaves bits of cardboard everywhere? Wish mine would go for the table not my nice soft carpet. The Shits expensive😂😂
It must feel so nice to see your pets enjoy the item you made with love! 🥰
While my cat onky play with it for 0.5 second and never touch it again for the rest of his life 🌚
@@chocominty8162 Oh, lol maybe i should not try it for my *bababoi*
@@SForSaad lmao you should at least try. Who knows maybe your *bababoi* likes it 😂
This was very helpful thank you!! When the cat is done scratching you can put the scraps in the compost too!
Thank you for teaching us how to make this. Card board scratchers in the store for a small one is $10! Sheesh! 😀
Great idea. Cats approve too. : )
They sure do :) thanks +Tommy, Gracie & Leo
Toss some catnip in there & they'll loveeit even more! :)
Thanks for posting this!
+Maki Narusawa Trotter Thanks for the tip and comment 😀
The way cats scratch their nails on this always makes me chuckle a bit.
“Dont worry if they’re not all the same your cat wont get upset”
Me with extreme ocd: it would never be okay. (*_*)
What a cleaver idea 💡. Thanks 😊.
i could use the the pizza box in making a cat tent aside as a scratcher . thanks for sharing! very creative.
+IXCMXCIX that's a good idea :) thanks
I made one and after a week my cats absolutely destroyed it, they loved it while it lasted XD.
Very cool, I like the idean to flip it upside down so it's flat on top. Thanks for sharing
Really helpful! Thank you!
That's the cleanest pizza box I've ever seen!
The pizza box says "thank you!" 😀
Just had pizza last night so thank you so much:)
+Demon :))))
Won't it smell of pizza tho? And the box will be all greasy 😂😂😂
@@peachtokkii863 Good point but maybe the cat(s) will like it even more because of that.
Samee
Great idea. Gonna get a pizza, just to try this out!
+Veredhiel 😺
Well, was the pizza good
Dude be still saving lives in 2022 😂 i needed this
I enjoyed making this for my 2 twerps. Awesome tutorial 👍
Perfect..I gotta learn how to do this...i am not paying $10 for the scratcher theses guys love to makena mess of..thx u so much..very awesome
It makes me wow when you turn it upside down to get the even surface!
A reação dos gatos foi demais! Vou fazer para os meus também!
Now my cat doesn’t need to scratch my face :D
Genius idea.

Omg The New Monster Discovered! Cat Scratcher!

Your cats are so sweet!
Woww great idea! Thanks for sharing! Gotta do it for my cat.😻😻

I Love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing
Well Done. Thank You for taking the time to make this video
YOU ARE VERY GENIUS PERSON...nice cat scratcher..thanks for helping me...my cat will not scratch the funiture again😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you for the tip ! My cats regularly use the one I made

Awwww that’s the kitty I have!
A good excuse to order pizza tonight. And make the cats happy too
This was so helpful. Thank you
That’s good. A lot of cardboard but a good use for it
Great video! Keep it up
nice
Im gonna play this music while making one, and Im pretty sure youve put catnip on that finished project. Still cool though, this is genius, thanks mate!
So funny Ben the Bengal Cat likes your music
I moved recently from my house and never had a scrstch post. My cat normally uses a door frame but I dont wamt him to ruin grandmas couches so I'll deffinitely use this idea.
The cat at 3:30 looks like what I'd imagine The Rum Tum Tugger would look like if he was an actual cat.
wow that’s a great idea thank you
This is great!! Now to order some pizza 🍕. Great video and helpful.
You are genius!
+Rochelle, Charlie & Rosey My Ultimate Ragdolls You're so sweet. Thank you so much ❤️
Best Idea Ever!
We are planning to adopt
So this is awesome!
Going to Little Caesar's tomorrow 😎
My cat Blacky started pushing it but Nitram loved it
great design!
Thank you! I will try this! 👌🏻 New sub, I love your cutie cats. I have 3 cats too. 😻😻😻
+Universalis That means we are cat sisters 😺Thank you for following ❤️
Cool love Cat
I bought pizza, feed the pizza to someone and take the box. Now i need someone to cut it for me 😂
cutee cat 😻
This is very smart
Thank u so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Good one, i will try for my cat too.
Thank you😊
This looks like it would take Forever LOL
*Interesting idea, And how long does such a scratching post not break? I also made a few scratchers for my cat. Come by and visit)*
Wawww...love it..wanna make it for my cats too 👍👍
ok just did this. 50is strips inside the box is a lot. took a lot of glue as well. just had enough. I hope it lasts a while. cat might be joining our family tomorrow. I saw another video where the guy had a table saw. that is the way to get this done. Also when you get boxes to cut up. get boxes that held packaged factory food. not fruits and veggies.
good trick. nice 1.
dont 4get to sprinkle some crack, i mean catnip
I just made one of these myself, but so far all my cat wants to do with it is use it as a pillow. Granted, he's keen to do this frequently, but I'm not so sure I intended for that! 😂
cool😁 very effective and cheap at the same time..., now the hardest part... make him to scratch that cardboard 😺😁😁😁😁
My kittens loved scratching on boxes. I figured i need to make one so I just need to buy pizza box first 😁

Yay!! I'm gonna make one for my 17 year old cat Bruce! I bet he will love it!!(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
Cat 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾
Awesome way to save money and reutilize waste. However, how long does it take to make? Looks like it took a long time cutting and gluing all those strips.
Do cats still scratch the furniture even after a scratcher? I never had a cat before and thinking to buy one, please help.
what is the breed of brown long haired cat?
cool , eine gute Idee
thanks :) +Horst König
Hahaha take that Jeff Bezos- I just used a whole bunch of Amazon boxes That had been used to deliver a bunch of cat stuff and made a scratcher for FREE. Now that is Prime!
My cat doesn't use it to scratch on. She is slowly and gradually chewing it down to a shredded mess. Help!?
Did you use cat nip?
The store scratchers are pretty expensive where I live cuz of import and all the pet stores are 1h away.
What brand of glue did you use?
Your cats are cute
+kaira kiran thank you 😺
😊😊I have try it and my cats also love this
WOW save a lot of money
Muito bom vou fazer um para a minha gata
Nice 🐱
i started making one today, with a big pizza box, it looks so quick in the video, but i'm 4,5 hours in and only 2/3 done, it's freaking exhausting. i hope it will last a year when i'm done.
Nice idea! I made it but my cat still scratches my furniture instead of this🥲
