I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers - eviltoast

Also good for composting and making room in your recycling bin

    Hard disagree.

    1. Waste packaging is a common problem.
    2. Lots of folks have cats
    3. You can already buy a commercially made strip and strap cutter. This is just fixed size version that uses a more common blade.

    Honestly, my bigger gripe with the video is the little dots of hot glue. That feels like wouldn’t hold up (I’ve had cats disassemble store bought scratchers). I’d brush on flour paste or thinned down school glue for non-toxic full coverage. You could even mix in cat nip to encourage use.

      My objection is that it’s needless consumption that sucks relative alternatives such as learning to use a box knife and starting a compost bin.
