Never let it be said SUCK UK don’t dabble in science. In the name of completely misunderstanding Schrödinger’s work we introduce our newest cat/box combination, the scratch mat. Cats scratch furniture to mark their territory, exercise their muscles and for sheer pleasure. All similar reasons youths mix music, and if we are to cross over both those cultures we’d rather get cats mixing music than teenage boys bringing bedraggled birds back to your doorstep. The decks come flat packed and fold together into a simple structure with poseable tone arm and a top which spins as your cat paws at it meaning you can sit and giggle in a ‘LOOK THE CAT IS DOING HUMAN THINGS’ way rather than watch in horror as she shreds your favourite couch into tiny pieces.

Cute Idea, But Really Just An Overpriced Folding Flimsy Box – Actual Scratching Area Very Thin & Small I admit it’s a cute idea. And if you buy it, have a camera ready as you never know when it’ll truly look like your cat is “dj-ing.” But it’s NOT worth the money and not durable whatsoever.I was very disappointed when I opened this item. First, I couldn’t believe it fit in such a small, flat package. But it did because it’s basically just a box you fold together and it’s supposed to stay together with tabs that stick in the inserts. Some wouldn’t even hold and I had to tape them. No biggie though. It does have a creative design on the box, and the round scratching area does spin. However, my cats (who have loved ALL scratching items) did not take to this one. After about 10 seconds of interest (which I believe was mainly from the catnip), they never touched it again.My two cats tear the crap out of ALL their scratching toys, except for this one. They prefer the $10 or so ACTUAL boxes that have replacement scratching areas to buy when needed (you take the old one out of the box and put the new scratcher inside it). They’ve scratched up their cat tree IMMENSELY! They also scratched up another round scratching item I got them (that includes a plastic ‘ball holder’ that’s attached all around the area to be scratched – so they can also play with the ball, swat at it & try and catch it, etc). But this one didn’t appeal to them (or me).The round area that they actually scratch is a lot smaller and thinner than I expected. Perhaps the size of it is the reason they never ‘took’ to it.I also did not like this item (and not just because my cats didn’t). I would never pay that much money for a folding box. I thought it would arrive as shown or with some assembly, but I wasn’t expecting just a flimsy box with the DJ design on it. I was expecting something MUCH more durable or sturdy. This has been used by my cats once – mainly by just sniffing the catnip I added to it. They barely scratched it. I DID get some cute pictures when they sat on it (and my male cat is twice the size of this thing!) He also loves to lay in or tear up boxes, so I thought he’d at least get a kick out of doing that (which I wouldn’t have minded as he would have had fun in SOME way & got SOME use out of this). But it’s just been sitting in my basement untouched ever since I got it.It may be a better item for a kitten. For whatever reason, my cats, as I said, have torn up every scratching toy I’ve gotten them, with the exception of this one. And I was not happy at how flimsy it was and that I paid so much money for a box that folds together (and some parts of it wouldn’t even stay together). Sorry, but I do not recommend this.
Fantastic Product There is only one word that properly describes this product: pawsome. My three year old kitten, Chairman Meow, was absolutely blown away by the Suck UK Cat Scratch. He was so excited he continuously purred whilst spinning some “phat” beats and threw up several hairballs – resulting in a trip to the vet. A few days and $1300 in bills later, Chairman Meow was back up at his Cat Scratch once again trying to make his name in the DJing world. He changed his name to DJ Paws n Claws and has been traveling extensively in Europe, performing gigs and he now has a house in Amsterdam.Pros: DJ Paws n Claws is now a rising artist in the European house music scene and regularly sends me checks in the mail. I can now live a life of leisure sipping on and I have upgraded from my trailer to a modest houseboat.Cons: DJ Paws n Claws has been pretty uppity lately, he’s taken to smoking cigarettes and is hanging out with a “Dead Mouse”. His new-found attitude has found its way to my new shag carpet, as he thinks that he’s above the litter box and can take a huge dump wherever he likes.Ultimate decision: Go ahead and get it. Even though my cat now takes dumps on the carpet due to the I am living the life that I deserve. My new girlfriend, Linda, isn’t missing any of her incisors like my previous girlfriend Crystale.
