SIDAZON Cat Scratching Board: Size, Count and Fit

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

The sidazon cat scratching board cat scratcher is a reversible corrugated cardboard board, sold with catnip, that the listing says lies flat on the floor and curves for stretching. The listing describes it as a way to draw scratching away from other furniture. This post covers what the listing states about its size, pack count, material, catnip and fit, and where its own figures disagree. The person typing sidazon cat scratching board cat scratcher usually wants a low-cost scratching pad for an indoor cat, and the answer below is written for that reader.

Quick answer

• The listing gives two dimension sets, 16.5 x 8 x 2.35 inches and 17 x 8 x 5.5 inches, so measure the floor spot before ordering.
• The title says two pieces, the specification table says two items, and the unit count says one, so check the pack you receive.
• The listing gives one weight, 7.05 ounces, which is about 0.44 pounds for the listed pack.
• Skip it if your cat scratches upright on tall posts, since the listing describes a flat board on the floor.

What the listing says the board does

The first bullet says the board gives a cat a place to scratch so that other furniture is less likely to be scratched. The listing gives no measured result for that effect, and this post reports it as the listing’s own claim. The bullet is a statement of purpose, not a measured result.

The second bullet describes the material. The listing says the board is made from 100 percent recycled corrugated cardboard and glue, and it presents the material as a reason to buy. That is the only material statement in the bullets, and the listing gives no grade of cardboard and no glue type beyond that line.

The third bullet describes the shape. The board has a curved wave design, which the listing says makes it easier for a cat to lie down and stretch while it scratches. That is a claim about the cat’s posture, and the listing does not give a size for the curve or the depth of the wave.

The fourth bullet says the board can be used from both sides and is built from high-density corrugated cardboard. It says the pad lasts longer than most others. The listing gives no wear figure or time period, so the longer life is a claim with no number attached.

The fifth bullet says the pack includes organic catnip. It adds that the color may vary slightly between boards, which the listing describes as normal. The listing does not say how much catnip is included or how long the scent lasts.

Size, count and weight: the arithmetic

The listing gives two sets of dimensions, a count that differs by source, and one weight. The table below sets out each figure and the calculation that follows.

Figure	Value in the listing	Calculation	Result
Floor footprint, first dimension set	16.5 x 8 inches	16.5 x 8	132 square inches
Floor footprint, second dimension set	17 x 8 inches	17 x 8	136 square inches
Footprint difference	the two sets above	136 – 132	4 square inches
Height difference	2.35 and 5.5 inches	5.5 – 2.35	3.15 inches
Weight in pounds	7.05 ounces	7.05 / 16	0.44 pounds
Weight per board	two items listed	not stated	not stated

The footprint figures differ by only 4 square inches, which is small. The height figures differ by 3.15 inches, and that is the larger gap. The first set reads as a board about 2.35 inches thick, and the second as a board about 5.5 inches tall. The listing does not say which is the height of a board lying flat and which is the height of a board standing up, so measure the board you receive.

The weight is given once, at 7.05 ounces. The specification table also lists two items, and the title says 2pcs, but the unit count reads one. A single weight for two boards is not the same as a weight for one board. The listing does not say whether 7.05 ounces covers both pieces or only one, and the per-board weight is left as not stated in the table above.

Pack count: one piece or two

Three places in the listing give a count. The title says “(2pcs)”, the specification table gives “Number of Items: 2”, and the unit count line reads “1 Count.” Those three figures can describe a pack of two boards sold as one unit, which is the most likely reading from the title, but the listing does not spell that out. Check the number of boards in the box when it arrives and compare it with the title.

Fit and placement

The specification table gives the mounting type as floor mount. The listing describes the board as a floor item, and the table gives the specific use as indoor. The board is designed to lie on the floor rather than stand as a tower. That makes it a low option for a cat that already uses tall posts.

Measure the floor spot first. The footprint is between 132 and 136 square inches, and the board’s length is 16.5 or 17 inches. Put the board in the place where the cat already scratches and check that it does not move when the cat steps on it. The listing does not describe a non-slip base, so surface matters.

The listing’s shape claim is the reason a cat may lie on the board. A curved board gives a lying surface as well as a scratching one, so placement near a sleeping spot may suit a cat that dozes after scratching. The listing does not say whether a cat will lie on the board or prefer to scratch only.

Catnip and scent

The listing includes catnip, and the bullets describe it as organic. A cat that responds to catnip may take more interest in the board. A cat that does not respond will not. The listing gives no amount of catnip and no time for how long the scent lasts, so plan on refreshing or replacing the catnip if the cat loses interest. The bullets do not say whether the catnip can be added to a fresh board, so the only instructions are the ones in the box.

Who this suits, and who should skip it

The board suits an indoor cat that scratches on a flat surface and that might enjoy a curved lying spot. It suits an owner who wants a cardboard option with a simple shape and a catnip starter.

Skip it if your cat scratches upright on a tall post, since the listing describes a flat board on the floor. Skip it if you need a single board, since the pack count is unclear. Skip it if you need a published durability figure, since the listing claims longer life without a number.

Buying checklist

• Measure the floor spot and compare it with both dimension sets, 16.5 x 8 inches and 17 x 8 inches.
• Check the height figures of 2.35 and 5.5 inches against the space and the cat’s habits.
• Count the boards in the box and compare them with the title, the specification table and the unit count.
• Check the 7.05 ounce weight if you plan to move the board between rooms.
• Decide whether the catnip matters to your cat before you buy.
• Confirm the floor mount if you have a tile or hard floor, since the listing does not describe a non-slip base.
• Watch the cat on the board for a few days to see whether it uses the curved lying spot.

Mistakes to avoid

• Choosing one dimension set and ignoring the other. The two sets differ by 4 square inches of footprint and 3.15 inches of height.
• Assuming the pack is one board. The title says two pieces, and the unit count says one.
• Expecting a stated lifespan. The bullets say the board lasts longer than most others, and the listing gives no figure.
• Buying a flat board for an upright scratcher. The listing describes a floor board with a curved top.
• Relying on the catnip to change behavior. The listing gives no amount and no time for the scent.

How we chose

The keyword for this post is sidazon cat scratching board cat scratcher. The research file for it was built on 2026-10-23 and holds six products: the SIDAZON board, plus five other listings from the same best-seller category, Pet Supplies > Cats > Beds & Furniture, with dog products removed. The five others are titles only in the file, and this review uses the listing details for the SIDAZON board alone.

We read the SIDAZON listing’s feature bullets and its specification table on 2026-10-23. The criteria were the listing’s dimension figures, pack count, material line, shape claim, catnip statement and mounting type. The keyword names this product directly, and the listing describes a corrugated cat scratching board, so it was chosen.

The other five were a cardboard scratcher with an L shape, a floor scratching post, a window perch, a self-warming bed pad and a second scratcher. Only the cardboard L-shaped scratcher is close in material, and its listing describes a different shape with a ball toy, so it was left out for this keyword.

What we could not verify

• How long the board lasts. The listing says it lasts longer than most others and gives no figure.
• How much catnip the pack includes, and how long the scent lasts. The listing does not state either.
• Which of the two dimension sets is correct for the board. The listing gives both and does not explain the difference.
• Whether the weight of 7.05 ounces covers one board or the whole pack. The listing does not say.
• Whether the board stays in place on smooth or hard floors. The listing does not describe a non-slip base.
• Whether a particular cat will use the curved lying spot. The listing makes a claim about posture and no test of cat use.
• The exact grade of cardboard and the glue type. The listing names the material and gives no grade.

FAQ

Is this a tall scratching post?

No. The listing describes a floor board with a curved top, and the mounting type is floor mount. A cat that prefers to scratch upright on a tall post may use it less.

How many boards come in the pack?

The title says two pieces, the specification table says two items, and the unit count says one. The listing does not explain the difference, so count the boards when the box arrives.

Can the board be used on both sides?

The bullets say the board can be used from both sides. A reversible board gives two scratching faces, and the listing does not say whether either face wears faster.

Does the board come with catnip?

Yes. The listing says the board includes organic catnip. It does not give an amount or a scent duration, so plan on refreshing the catnip if your cat loses interest.

Which size should I buy?

The listing does not recommend a size, and its two dimension sets do not match. Measure your spot, check the footprint and height against the figures above, and choose the board that fits the space you have.

Does the listing give a lifespan?

No. The bullets say the board lasts longer than most others, but the listing gives no time or wear figure to back that claim.

Bottom line

Buy this board if you want a flat, reversible cardboard scratcher with catnip for an indoor cat that scratches on the floor. Skip it if your cat scratches upright on a tall post, or if you need a clear pack count and a published lifespan, since the listing does not give either.

Other scratcher options

If this board is not the right shape for your cat, the cat scratchers guide compares the main styles, and the indoor cat scratchers guide focuses on indoor homes. The scratcher material guide explains how the surface changes the scratching feel, and the why cats scratch furniture guide covers the reason behind the habit.

A cat that scratches while it sleeps may also use a cave bed for indoor cats. If you have a larger cat, the large cat bed guide and the tower guide for large cats show how bigger furniture changes the choice. For nail care, the scratcher to file nails guide and the scratcher to trim nails guide cover the nail question, and the carpet for a scratching post guide covers a different surface.
