New scratcher-and-toy-in-one for cats



Hagen has launched a unique scratcher-and-toy-in-one called Catit Play ‘n Scratch.

Catit Play ‘n Scratch provides cats with a safe and convenient place for exercise and a satisfying outlet for cats to scratch, diverting their attention from valuable household fixtures and furniture.

It consists of a durable plastic platform with a scratch pad located at the centre and a tracking ball that rolls around the perimeter. There's also a spring toy with a fluffy pom-pom for additional fun and enticement.

The scratch pad is made of corrugated cardboard, which provides felines with a safe surface to put their claws into. When they're finished scratching, they can swat at the pom-pom or chase the ball around the track.

Besides having a good time, cats will enjoy many excellent health benefits as a result of playing with this fun and stimulating toy.



The product's key features are:

  • Fun and stimulating 2-in-1 cat scratcher has many excellent health benefits
  • Provides a safe place for scratching and exercise
  • Consists of corrugated cardboard scratch pad, tracking ball and spring-mounted pom-pom
  • Also an effective way to prevent cats from scratching valuable household furniture and fixtures
  • Only 14" (35 cm) in diameter, can be placed virtually anywhere in homes or apartments
  • Catnip is included for additional attraction
  • Cardboard scratcher is reversible
  • Replacement pads available 

Available in orange and green, the product retails at £11.99
