Advantages

Products can be returned
DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR INDOOR CATS: Indoor kitties have instinctual needs to hide (from predators and prey) and scratch (to wear down their claws). They also like cozy places to help them stay warm. The Hide & Scratch provides them with a place of their own to do all three!
EXTRA LARGE: At 13″ wide, the Hide & Scratch is over 50% wider than other scratcher boxes that are usually only the size of a shoe box. Cats like to be cozy, but bigger kitties need bigger boxes!
EXTRA DEEP: Other boxes on the market are only 4″ deep. 7.5″ high sides give your kitty more coverage for “hiding”.
THICK SCRATCHING PAD: The Hide & Scratch comes with a 1″ thick refillable (and reversible) scratch pad.
DURABLE YET STYLISH: The Hide & Scratch is made with 100% high grade corrugated cardboard and printed to fit in with your home décor – guests won’t wonder if you forgot to take the trash out!
