Cats enjoy scratching cardboard, but they also don’t mind sinking their claws into couches and door frames. There are ways to discourage them from destroying your brand-new furniture (quietly weeping doesn’t help, trust me), but providing an alternative is step number one.

Among the zillions of options is Papercut Lab’s Katris, which not only entertains your cat but doubles as a piece of furniture for you. The Tetris-style pieces fit together to provide a variety of levels for your cat to climb on while also making nooks and crannies where you can store your books, or they can be used as a table.

Made of 100-percent recyclable corrugated fiberboards and SGS-certified non-toxic glue, the shapes each weigh between 6.5 and 8.6 pounds a piece. You make a base, and then choose which shapes best fit your place and your cat’s predilections. Use a clip to fasten the different shapes together, and you have a table, bookshelf, or shoe rack that cat is meant to destroy. Of course, each shape is about $50, so that’s a pretty hefty price to pay for something you expect your cat to tear to shreds. The 200-sheet structures could last over a year, though, according to its creators.

What is Katris?

How it works?

Why chose Katris?

1. Modular:

• Every shape is well designed for an easy assembling experience.
• It’s a cat scratcher, a cat tree, a piece of furniture, home decor and more.
• Clips are provided to build and secure your creative ideas.

2. Durable:

• Handcrafted to ensure precision in every piece.
• Top grade corrugated material makes Katris construct strong.
• Each piece assembled by over 200 sheets of paper.

3. Non-Toxic:

• SGS certified non-toxic glue used through every assembling process.
• No ink were used, keeping it original & organic.
• 100% organic catnip comes with every Katris as a gift

4. Eco-Friendly:

• Katris is made with 100% recyclable materials.
• 90% post consumers recycle content for the paper we used.
• FSC certified paper from responsible sources.

Tips for using Katris :

• Set-up Katris in a favorite area where your cat likes to play.
• Sprinkle some catnip onto Katris to invite your cat over.
• If you are building multiple pieces of Katris, secure the pieces with the clips included in your package.
• Even though Katris is made from very durable materials, it’s still paper. Please don’t wash it, soak it, or wipe it with a wet towel.
• Your cat’s fur may get stuck in between the cardboard. Use a dry brush, broom, or vacuum to remove the fur.
• Custom build your Katris according to your cat’s ability to climb, or build a skyscraper. It’s your choice!

Cautions :

• Do not build Katris on an unstable, slippery, or narrow surface. We suggest putting Katris against a wall. You can also use non-slip pads to help secure your Katris.
• We suggest stacking Katris no more than five pieces tall to ensure best safety practices. Aggressive play may cause Katris to shift or topple.
