Moderncat's Modern Finds: Great Scratchers from $10 - $500
Cats have a natural instinct to scratch, so it's important to direct that desire towards something that's made to take a beating. If you don't, they'll do what comes naturally -- and destroy your furniture in the process. There are lots of scratching surfaces including corrugated cardboard, carpet and natural sisal.

ScratchPal from Cat Above, $40
This scratcher is made of cabinet-grade birch plywood and is heavier than a regular cardboard scratcher, so it doesn't slide across the floor when the cat uses it. But the ScratchPal's secret weapon is that it is designed to help keep your house neat. The high sides, broad lip, and side channels of the ScratchPal catch scratched off cardboard particles and prevent them from scattering on the floor.
