Jack's Scratcher — Refillable Door Frame Cat Scratcher Starter Kit
Jack's Scratcher is the better way to protect your door frames from cat scratches.
Made for interior door jambs — and the cats who love to scratch them — Jack's Scratcher installs right where your cat already chooses to scratch. The reusable frame goes on in minutes and refills in seconds when it wears out. When the replaceable insert is ready for a refresh, just slide in a new one — no tools, no fuss, no replacing the whole thing. It's a simple solution that just makes sense — for you and your cat.

Size and Fit
Product Dimensions
Jack's Scratcher is 18" long and each side of the scratcher measures 2.3" including the hinge.
The scratching surface measures approximately 17" long by 1.5" wide on each side.
Will it fit your door frame?
Jack's Scratcher is designed to fit standard interior door jambs measuring at least 1 3/4 inches deep, measured from the outside of the ridge that the door closes against (the doorstop).
Installation
How does it attach?
Jack's Scratcher is designed to mount to your door frame with screws, which means it stays exactly where you put it — no slipping, no sliding, no giving out after a few weeks. Installation takes just a few minutes and the result is a scratcher that holds firm through even the most enthusiastic scratching sessions.
What if I don't want to use screws?
We've had good results at home using 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips, and some of our customers have found success with other double-stick tape options. That said, we strongly recommend the screw method for the best hold — tape results can vary depending on your wall surface and paint, and some adhesives may damage trim or paint when removed. We can't guarantee performance with anything other than screws, but we wanted you to have options.
Returns & Exchanges
Stress-Free Returns
If your cat doesn't love it, return the unused scratcher within 60-days for a full refund. We'll even cover return shipping.
See our full Returns & Exchanges policy here.
Not sure which material to choose?
Don't worry about picking the wrong thing. If your cat doesn’t take to the material you selected, we'll let you exchange the unused inserts for a different material within 60 days. Just pay the price difference if there is one. Read our full Returns & Exchanges Policy here.

Before
After
It's the better way to protect door frames from cat scratches.
With room to stretch.
Jack's Scratcher offers an 18-inch vertical surface and the flexibility to choose the install height, giving cats of all sizes the space they need to achieve a full-body stretch.
A refillable design.
No need to throw out the whole scratcher when the material wears - just swap in a fresh refill.
Your cat gets to keep scratching, your wallet gets a break, and there's less waste going into the landfill.
And earth-friendly materials.
Every insert is recyclable or biodegradable.
When your cat is done with it, the planet isn't stuck with it.
Good for your cat, your home, and the planet.
When we designed Jack's Scratcher, we made a conscious effort to choose materials that would be kinder to the planet, without sacrificing the durability and affordability that make it a practical solution for real cat parents.
Made from recycled ABS plastic and aluminum, the frame is designed to stay on your door frame for years, not end up in the trash. And the part that does wear out — the insert — it's either curbside recyclable or biodegradable. So when your cat is done with it, it won't leave a lasting impact on the environment.
No product is perfectly eco-friendly, and we won't pretend that Jack's Scratcher is either. But we're trying to do our part.
When you toss a worn out insert, you can feel good knowing it's not headed for the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch or sitting unchanged in a landfill for the next hundred years. It's a practical solution you can feel good about — for your cat, your home, and the planet.
