Ware - Cirque-De-Fun Round Scratcher

TL;DR: The Ware Cirque-De-Fun Round Scratcher is a circular corrugated cardboard cat scratcher that doubles as a lounging spot. It suits cat owners who want to redirect scratching away from furniture, and works for cats of all sizes and life stages.

Scratching is normal feline behaviour — it stretches the body, marks territory, and keeps claws in condition. A dedicated surface gives your cat somewhere to do all three that isn't the arm of your sofa.

Among round cat scratchers, the Cirque-De-Fun keeps a low, flat profile that slips easily into a corner, beside a couch, or under a window.

What makes the Cirque-De-Fun different?

Instead of an upright post, this is a flat circular design, so a cat can scratch, perch, or curl up on the same surface. The corrugated cardboard texture appeals to cats who prefer horizontal scratching over vertical posts.

If your cat has been working on rugs, stair treads, or the flat edge of a couch cushion, a circular cat scratcher matches that preferred scratching angle more closely than a post does.

Who is it for?

This scratcher is for cat owners who want a simple, compact way to satisfy their cat's scratching instinct without adding a bulky tower or post to the room. It works for kittens learning good scratching habits and for adult cats who already favour horizontal surfaces.

It's also a reasonable second scratcher for multi-cat homes, where having more than one surface reduces competition over a single spot.

Where should you place it?

Put the Cirque-De-Fun somewhere your cat already spends time — near a sunny window, beside a favourite napping zone, or close to the furniture that's been taking the damage. Cats use a scratcher far more consistently when it sits on their daily route rather than tucked away in a spare room.

Feeding & use

Place the scratcher on a flat, stable surface and let your cat investigate on their own terms. If your cat hesitates, sprinkle a little catnip on top or drag a wand toy across the cardboard to spark interest.

Rotate or flip the scratcher as the cardboard wears down to get more use out of it, and vacuum up loose shavings as part of your regular cleaning. Replace it once the surface is shredded through and no longer gives your cat resistance to pull against.
