MiaCara Gratta Wood Cat Scratcher
Is your cat shredding the sofa arm again?
Part scratch board, part sofa-saver. For the cat who likes to claw.
Cats scratch to stretch, to mark territory, to condition their claws, and to release endorphins. The Gratta is shaped at the length your cat instinctively reaches for with a replaceable insert that lasts many months and a lacquered wood frame that lasts years. No more buying a new scratcher every few months. Practical, sustainable and built as a showpiece in any room.
- 60 x 30 x 10cm, stands freely on the floor
- Lacquered wood in White, Greige or Graphite
- Designed by Studio Nooi for MiaCara
- Cardboard insert slides out and is replaceable
- Wipe the wood, replace the insert when worn

The making of itThe story behind the piece, and why we chose it
Most scratching posts are vertical. Cats also scratch horizontally: flattening against a carpet, locking their claws into a fibre they can grip, and pulling their full body length backwards in one long stretch. A vertical post serves the upright stretch. The Gratta is shaped for the horizontal one.
The frame is lacquered wood, designed by Studio Nooi for MiaCara and finished in three lacquered colours: White, Greige, or Graphite. A gentle hollow runs along the length of the board, giving the cat a softer place to curl into between scratches. It sits flat on a floor in the room where your cat already scratches, no fixings, no wall mount, no anchor needed. The board reads more as furniture than a pet product.
The scratching surface is a replaceable insert set into the wood frame. When the insert eventually wears, slide the old one out and drop a new one in. The frame stays on your floor for years. The insert lasts many months under daily use, and the cost of a refill is a fraction of the cost of replacing a whole scratcher every year.
Why we chose this
We chose the Gratta because most scratchers serve the vertical stretch and ignore the horizontal one, and the Gratta is the rare horizontal piece that does its job without looking disposable.

We accept returns within 30 days on unused items in their original condition.
Can I replace the scratching insert when it wears out?
Yes. The cardboard scratching insert is a consumable - we sell the Gratta replacement cardboard insert separately, so the wood frame is the piece you keep.
