Put it where she already naps.

Set the basket in the spot she sleeps now, not in a spare corner. Drop in a T-shirt you’ve worn for the first few nights so it smells like home. Let her find it in her own time, and praise her when she scratches the rim.

The Scratch Basket

A bed she’s allowed to scratch.

Outdoors, cats scratch tree bark. Indoors, that instinct lands on your sofa the minute she wakes up. This basket is coiled from soft cotton rope, ridged like bark, so her claws sink in and catch. It’s her bed and her scratching spot in one, and the sides squash under her like a pillow.

How to use it

Place it on the floor or a wide, stable surface where she already naps. Shake out fur or vacuum it, and spot clean with a damp cloth. Check the rope ball and cord now and then, and take the cord off if it frays.

Why we chose it

A bed she’s allowed to dig her claws into.

A round basket bed coiled by hand from soft cotton rope, with two cat-ear handles and a rope ball on a cord. She curls up inside it, kneads and scratches the rope rim, and bats the ball when she wakes up. It’s soft all the way round, so the sides bend and squash under her like a pillow. Three colours and three sizes.

Scratching is instinct. Outdoors, cats do it on tree bark: it sheds the old outer layer of their claws, stretches them out and leaves their scent. Indoors they do it where they sleep, right after they wake up. A bed coiled from ridged cotton rope gives her claws the same kind of grip as bark, and it isn’t the arm of your sofa.

Worth the wait

Fast shipping is for your convenience. Purrbly is for your cat.

Every store has to choose where its money and effort go. Next-day delivery needs warehouses in every city and trucks on standby, so that’s where it goes, and the product gets less attention. That’s how you end up with quality that isn’t what you expected, a cat who won’t touch it, and another order for the same thing. Purrbly made the other choice. Our care goes into what your cat receives, not how fast it gets there.

Good to know
before you buy.

Which size should I get?

Go by her weight. Small (35 cm) is for kittens. Medium (40 cm) suits cats up to about 7.7 lb (3.5 kg). Large (46 cm) suits cats up to about 16.5 lb (7.5 kg), which is most adult cats. If you’re between two sizes, take the bigger one.

Will she actually use it?

Put it where she already naps, not in a spare corner, and drop a T-shirt you’ve worn inside for the first few nights. Most cats try a new bed within a week or two.

Does it trim her nails?

It helps, but it isn’t a nail trim. When she digs into the rope, the old outer layer of each nail comes away, which is what scratching is for. Her nails will still need a trim now and then.

Can I return it?

Yes. You can return it unused in its original packaging within 30 days of delivery. Email support@purrbly.com first and we’ll explain how to send it back.

Will it fall apart if she scratches it?

It’s made to be scratched. The rope is coiled and stitched all the way round, so it stays in one piece. It’s a soft basket, so the sides bend and squash when she leans on them, and you can push them back up by hand. Where she works on it most, the rope goes a little fuzzy over time. That’s normal.

How do I clean it?

Shake out the fur or run a vacuum over it. Spot clean marks with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Don’t machine wash it.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 8 to 14 business days, with a tracking link by email when it ships. You see the delivery dates and the full total before you pay.
