Cat Trees & Scratching
Adjustable cardboard scratcher. Design-forward and cat-approved.
✦ Why we chose it
Most scratchers are ugly — the Hepper Hi-Lo is the rare exception that you'd actually want in your living room. The adjustable angles also make it genuinely functional for cats with different scratching preferences.
The Hepper Hi-Lo is an adjustable cardboard scratcher with birch plywood sides and a metal core. Its replaceable B-flute cardboard and adjustable positions let you offer different scratching angles without replacing the whole frame. The purchase link goes to the complete scratcher on Hepper’s website, not replacement pads.
