What's inside
  • Multi-layer corrugated cardboard body — rated for months of heavy use
  • Rolling bell ball included — sits in outer track, makes sound on movement
  • Catnip packet included — sprinkle inside bowl on first use to attract cat
  • Accordion fold mechanism — paper-based, no glue, no plastic parts
  • Material: Recycled paper / cardboard · Color: Natural brown · Size: ~13" diameter when open
How to use
  1. Hold the scratcher by the outer rim with both hands.
  2. Pull outward firmly — the accordion fans open into a full bowl shape in ~3 seconds.
  3. Drop the bell ball into the outer track groove.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of catnip inside the bowl (optional but recommended for first introduction).
  5. Place it on the floor where your cat already tends to scratch.
  6. Walk away. The bell sound and cardboard texture do the rest.
  7. When done: press flat from the top. It collapses in seconds and stores under any couch.

Product FAQs

Does the cardboard really last?

It's multi-layered corrugated cardboard rated for months of daily scratching. The curved bowl shape spreads the wear so no single spot collapses too fast.

What's the rolling bell ball?

A small ball that lives in the outer track of the bowl. When your cat bats it, it rolls and rings — extra play built into the same piece. No batteries, never needs charging.

Does it include catnip?

Yes — a catnip packet is included for the first introduction. Sprinkle a pinch on the cardboard to draw your cat in the first day or two.

Does it fold flat?

Yes. Folds flat in about 3 seconds and slides under a couch or a bed when you don't want it out. Pops back into the bowl shape just as fast.

Is it eco-friendly?

100% recyclable cardboard. No plastic, no glue, no synthetic parts.

How long will it last?

Most cats get many months of heavy daily use before the cardboard breaks down enough to replace. The bell ball lasts the full life of the piece.

Will it really keep my cat off my furniture?

If your cat is going to scratch, give them the something to scratch. A satisfying, defined spot redirects most cats off the couch and rug within a few days. The catnip helps the first introduction.

How do I clean it?

Vacuum the cardboard crumbs as the bowl breaks in — that's the scratcher doing its job. No wash, no spray, no maintenance.

When will it arrive?

Free shipping on every Purli order, usually 5–7 business days. Tracking link emailed when it ships.

What's the return policy?

30-day guarantee, full refund, real human support. Most cats claim the Wave within a day, but if it's not for yours, send it back.

IT'S OUR MISSION
TO GIVE INDOOR CATS
A LIFE THEY LOVE.

  • We built this for the indoor cat who gets nothing but a food bowl and a bed, and still acts like it needs to climb walls.
  • Every element, from the horizontal cardboard to the moving ball to the bowl shape, is designed around actual cat behavior, not what looks good in a product photo.
  • When you're done: collapse it flat in 3 seconds and slide it under the couch. No clutter. No excuses.
