Cosmic Catnip Alpine Scratcher Review Summary

Want to keep your cat's claws busy on something other than your rug or new leather couch? Cat owners say that the Cosmic Catnip Alpine Scratcher is just what you need. The cats and owners both "absolutely love it" and the fact that "it keeps them from scratching the furniture" even though the cardboard bits and catnip "can be messy." Environmentally-conscious reviewers like that they can buy cardboard insert refills and recycle the old ones. Those who own large cats had a few unique problems with this cat scratching toy, but even they say that the Cosmic Catnip Alpine Scratcher is the best cat scratching product they've ever seen.

I don't believe in declawing cats.  I've learned over the past couple of years that you just have to figure out what type of scratching surface your cat likes and then provide it for them--the destruction of couches, rugs, etc. will stop immediately.  Because we always have new cats and kittens here, we keep all kinds of scratchers here.  We have cloth posts, twine posts, cardboard ramps, cardboard mats, jute mats, and even carpet remnants scattered throughout the house for the cats to use.  While it is true that all of the cats have their favorite scratching surface, they all seem to love...

not every cat enjoys getting its nails trimmed but they need to scratch.

with these positioned around the house, I dont jump out of bed in the  night any more running to yell at the little heathens for scratching the rugs or chairs. they are now always just chilling with these scratchers thanks to the cosmic catnip.

the height and slant of this product seems to attract them more than anything lying flat. also more than one cat can scratch at once.

Ever since we got our first, feral kitten, she loved Cosmic Catnip treats and toys.  Fourteen years and eight cats later, every cat that has come to live with us have enjoyed CC's products without exception. 

Yes, it can get a little messy, between the cardboard and the catnip.  That's what a broom and a vacuum cleaner are for.  My wife and I have enjoyed countless hours of laughter watching our "babies" go crazy clawing away and staggering around after a good play session.   

They are inexpensive, and they can be easily replace if the block gets worn down.  We buy extra catnip to sprinkle...

I have had much success over many years and dozens of cats by having the Alpine Scratcher.   When my fosters are kittens, they love running in and out of the opening in the side of the box.  Several would curl up inside it and sleep there.  And eveyone loved the dangly toy (although invariably one overachiever would manage to disconnect it and have fun batting it around the house).  For the majority of my cats, using the Alpine Scratcher was a natural.  They would be attracted to the corrugated cardboard by the sprinkling of catnip (included) and would scratch on it as though it were instinctive. ... review »

This is a great product!  All three of my cats love it.

The incline is favored to any flat model of cardboard scratcher by my kitties.  The area is large enough for my monster 20 lb. cat to stretch out and really scratch.  And he loves his cardboard!  The catnip and cardboard bits do get thrown everywhere, so there is a lot of vacuuming involved with this product, but it is well worth it because it keeps the cats from scratching my furniture.

I believe that Cosmic Catnip is the best brand of catnip out there.  It's 100% catnip without other added herbs.  My cats go crazy for the stuff.  I...

I got this scratcher on a whim; my cats don't usually use scratching posts that I buy them. I was really surprised, because as soon as I set it up (took the lid off and put the catnip in), my cats were on it. I think it's something about it being angled, because I've still had other scratching boards (laying flat) and they still won't touch it. In fact, even when it runs out of catnip and the cardboard wears down, my cats will still try to scratch on it.
But, because of the angle and the weight of the cats (my cats aren't that heavy either), the cardboard at the end holding up the corrugating cardboard...

I have one cat and she is picky about everything, but one thing we would never be without is her favorite Cosmic Catnip Alpine Scratcher.  I have had the same one for years and keep buying the refills.  I have moved it at least three times when I made major moves to CA and WA. 

It is not only inexpensive but a great source of fun and exercise for Ms. Sydney.  The catnip is an added treat.  We are moving again, and it is going to move right along with us, this time to NC!

In an effort to locate a forgotten brand of catnip which made my furry friend race around the room, jumping off of things until he finally clung to the floor as if he were afraid of floating away, I purchased the Cosmic Catnip Alpine Scratcher. He really wasn't interested in the scratcher at all. Not even the catnip inside. I will keep looking for the nip that makes him crazy. I'm about out of brands to buy at the PetSmart...

My cats LOVE to scratch (like most cats).  I originally bought them one of the square cardboard scratchers and they wore it out.  So when I saw this one, I knew they'd love it.  It keeps them from scratching on the furniture and the catnip just adds to the fun.  One of my cats is young and very playful, so she has a great time with the hanging toy.  But, I've also caught my older cat playing with it!

All my cats love this item. I did have to enlarge the hole for the toy a bit for my 15 pound cat. It keeps them from scratching the firniture which is a big plus for me. I like that you can turn the cardboard piece over and buy new ones, though frankly this is so inexpensive you can just buy a new one. I also like that it is made of cardboard not plastic. It can be recycled when it has outlived its usefullness.

My cats love the Alpine Scratcher---especially when I sprinkle catnip all over it! They will actually drag it around the house, so I have to wedge it betwen a bookcase & the sub-woofer! And it lasts forever. It's great that you can buy replacement cardboard too!

My cats absolutely love this! They will keep scratching it for quite some time and will try to sleep on it whenever they can. Any time they seembored with it I just add a little more catnip and it is their favorite toy once again.
