DIY Wood Floor Scratcher

Upgrade your cat’s cardboard scratcher to a wood one! Cut a rectangle of wood for the base and thin wood blocks for each side. Sand the cut edges of the wood smooth. Assemble the scratcher sides first with wood glue, then attach the base with wood glue and nails. Put a store-bought cardboard scratcher panel in the wood frame, or make a scratcher panel by cutting pieces of cardboard to the same length and gluing the pieces together in a stack. Consider attaching small rubber feet on each corner of the scratcher.
