Sisal vs Cardboard Cat Scratchers
Choose between sisal and corrugated cardboard by the product format and replacement strategy you want. A woven mat, a framed surface and a shaped cardboard bed serve different assortment roles; material names alone do not establish service life.
| Decision | Sisal | Corrugated cardboard |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Woven mats, wrapped parts or framed surfaces | Shaped pads, beds, houses and inserts |
| Replacement | Check whether the surface detaches from the frame | Check insert profile and fit with the holder |
| Care | Confirm instructions for fiber, backing and frame | Confirm instructions for board, print and adhesive |
| Packaging | Specify binding protection, folds or assembly | Specify edge protection and assembled or flat format |
What to review on a sample
Compare sample edges, surface attachment, stability and cleaning access. For refills, request a dimensional drawing and confirm starter/refill compatibility. Avoid a universal “more durable” claim without evidence for the exact constructions.
