Mumoo Bear Cat Scratcher Cardboard (Cat Scratching Board) Review
Our feline friends have a natural instinct to scratch, and while this is perfectly normal behavior, it can wreak havoc on our furniture. Enter the Mumoo Bear Cat Scratcher Cardboard (Cat Scratching Board), a three-layered scratching pad promising a long-lasting and environmentally friendly solution. After several weeks of testing with our resident cat, Mittens, we’re ready to share our comprehensive review.
Features
The Mumoo Bear Cat Scratcher boasts a three-layer design, each layer being a double-sided, high-density cardboard. This promises significantly extended lifespan compared to single-layer scratchers. The outer box is designed to catch stray cardboard bits, keeping your floors cleaner. Mittens seemed particularly fond of using it as a resting spot after a good scratch.
The “reversible usage” claim is accurate. We flipped the layers as needed, extending the life of the scratcher substantially. The material is sturdy and doesn’t easily collapse under Mittens’ enthusiastic scratching. The brown color is fairly neutral, blending reasonably well with most home décor.

Performance
Mittens took to the Mumoo Bear scratcher immediately. The texture of the cardboard seems to be just right for her claws. It’s firm enough to provide satisfying resistance, but not so rigid that it damages her claws. The three-layer design truly does extend its life; we’ve been using it for over a month now, and there’s still plenty of scratching surface left.
The containment of cardboard scraps is effective, though not entirely perfect. A small amount still escapes, but significantly less than with other scratchers we’ve tried. The ability to use both sides of each layer is a real plus, maximizing value. The size is also a winner; it’s large enough for Mittens to stretch out fully and scratch comfortably. It doesn’t dominate the room, but provides ample space for her to get a good stretch in.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Durable three-layer design, reversible, environmentally friendly, good size, effectively contains most cardboard scraps, affordable.
- Cons: Some cardboard scraps still escape, the brown colour might not match all decors.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Mumoo Bear Cat Scratcher Cardboard (Cat Scratching Board) is a highly recommended product. Its durability, eco-friendliness, and effectiveness in diverting scratching away from our furniture make it a worthwhile investment. While it doesn’t achieve perfect containment of cardboard debris, the benefits far outweigh this minor drawback. If you’re looking for a long-lasting and environmentally responsible solution to your cat’s scratching habits, this is an excellent choice.
