TL;DR: The BuD'z - Scratch Paper With Catnip is a low-profile corrugated cardboard scratching pad that comes with a sachet of catnip to attract your cat. It's a compact option for redirecting clawing away from furniture, and works well as a secondary scratch surface beside a litter box scratch post setup.

Cats need to scratch daily to stretch, shed claw sheaths and mark territory. The BuD'z - Scratch Paper With Catnip gives them a dedicated corrugated surface for that behaviour, paired with catnip to encourage consistent use.

Available in Small and Large sizes, so you can match the pad to your cat and your space.

Specifications

Who is it for?

It suits indoor cats of most ages who need a dedicated scratching outlet, as well as households looking to protect upholstery and carpets. The compact Small option is handy for apartments, while the Large works for bigger cats or high-traffic scratching zones.

It also pairs well with a vertical option. If your cat prefers to stretch upright, consider adding a BuD'z - Scratch Box With Catnip, a BuD'z - Cactus Scratch Box, or a BuD'z - Aquatic Scratch Box to give them more than one surface to work on.

How do you use the BuD'z - Scratch Paper With Catnip?

Place the pad in a spot your cat already visits — near a sleeping area, doorway, or beside a litter box scratch post setup works well. Sprinkle a pinch of the included catnip on the corrugated surface to attract attention during the first few days of use.

Refresh with a small amount of catnip every week or two as needed. Rotate or flip the pad once one section becomes worn to extend its lifespan, and replace when the cardboard no longer holds a claw.

Does it replace a cat tree or post?

A flat pad like the BuD'z - Scratch Paper With Catnip complements, rather than replaces, vertical scratchers. Most cats benefit from having both horizontal and vertical options so they can choose their preferred angle.
