It is said that there are more cats living in households around the world than any other pets. Claw sharpeners are indispensable for cats living indoors; however, most of the products that are on the market are cheap and disposable, and don’t fit will with the designs of most living spaces, be they Japanese or Western. Scratch ZEN was created using the “kumiki” method, the Japanese woodcrafting technique that doesn’t use nails, and by employing oak and Nanbu red pine, the prefectural tree of Iwate Prefecture, for the materials, in order to make a cat claw sharpener that would last a lifetime. The wood’s grain that changes over the years has a warm feeling, and offers a wonderful match with all types of interiors. The cardboard that can be placed inside comes in different hardnesses and flute sizes, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your cat’s age and preferences. In addition to its user-friendly design, Scratch ZEN helps to reduce the stress of your cat, who is an important member of the family.
