Never let it be said Suck UK don’t dabble in science. In the name of completely misunderstanding Schrödinger’s work, we introduce our newest cat/box combination, the scratch deck. Cats scratch furniture to mark their territory, to exercise their muscles, and for sheer pleasure. All similar reasons youths mix music, and if we are to cross over both those cultures we’d rather get cats mixing music than teenage boys bringing bedraggled birds back to your doorstep. The deck comes flat packed and folds together into a simple structure with poseable tone arm and a top which spins as your cat paws at it, meaning you can sit and giggle in a “look, the cat is doing human things” way rather than watch in horror as she shreds your favourite couch into tiny pieces.

My cats are always battling the sucka DJ dogs in the club. They get crazy styles and climb all over the deck, 4-claw scratches rolling around on the plate. They act high on catnip. I mean, as the club owner, I may have put some catnip on the platter to sweeten the deal, but these cats need to learn their limits. Item arrived as described and super fast.

Extra Inputs?

So I was tearing it down at Ibiza last night with Cuddles (my DJ superstar). Cuddles was really get into it, paw-pumping and all. It was really great, and he was dropping the bass like you wouldn’t believe. The only problem is that there is no input for multiple units. Cuddles really likes to beat juggle, and he is disappointed that this is pretty proprietary.

Suck UK Cat Scratcher Sucked

Great in theory, but my cat didn’t want to be a DJ. She gave a hipster, “Meh,” meow and wandered away. This was after I carefully put together the chintzy thing and wondered how it would hold up to her usual vigorous scratching sessions. Hopefully it’ll hold up enough to get to the shelves of the thrift shop where someone can spend a dollar trying to impress their cat.

My cats suck at DJing

I received this as a birthday gift from my boyfriend, and I’m not sure if—as a crazy cat lady—I should be impressed that I still manage to have a boyfriend or offended that he buys things for my cats on MY birthday as if they don’t get all the attention the other 364 days a year. As other reviewers mentioned, it’s kind of flimsy. I found putting duct tape in the inside corners kept it together better. As a seasoned cat lady, I’m pretty much used to my cats conspiring to find a way to destroy anything, whether something intended for them or not. I didn’t have high hopes for this scratching deck, but almost a year later, I have to say it’s a miracle the stupid thing is still in use in my house. I’m talking double digits here, people, and if this thing can withstand such abuse from an army of cats, chances are it will last in your place (assuming you have a more reasonable number than I do).

The good: Cats are attracted to it, they use it, and it’s great for getting some awesome cat photos.

The bad: It’s basically an overpriced piece of cardboard with cute logos on it, and GOD FORBID the furry jerks knock the “record” off and bang the wooden peg that keeps it attached to the base around ALL FREAKING NIGHT AT 4 IN THE MORNING because cats are jerks and that’s what they are going to do.

Also, it goes without saying, your cat probably has lame taste in music, so while the concept of your cat DJing is cute in theory, be grateful this thing is really just a novelty and not an actual way for your furry friend to kill it on the 1s and 2s.

My cat fell instantly in love with it.

Many of his instagram friends asked us where we got it:)

Awesome product.

Once our cat destroys it, we will purchase it again.

Fantastic Product

By

There is only one word that properly describes this product: pawsome. My three-year-old kitten, Chairman Meow, was absolutely blown away by the Suck UK Cat Scratch. He was so excited he continuously purred whilst spinning some “phat” beats and threw up several hairballs—resulting in a trip to the vet. A few days and $1300 in bills later, Chairman Meow was back up at his Cat Scratch once again trying to make his name in the DJing world. He changed his name to DJ Paws n Claws and has been traveling extensively in Europe, performing gigs, and he now has a house in Amsterdam.

Pros: DJ Paws n Claws is now a rising artist in the European house music scene and regularly sends me checks in the mail. I can now live a life of leisure sipping on Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl. oz., and I have upgraded from my trailer to a modest houseboat.

Cons: DJ Paws n Claws has been pretty uppity lately; he’s taken to smoking cigarettes and is hanging out with a “Dead Mouse.” His newfound attitude has found its way to my new shag carpet, as he thinks that he’s above the litter box and can take a huge dump wherever he likes.
