Looking for a Cat-e-Corner alternative? The CozeCat Side Table is an end table with a natural sisal side for the sofa arm, from $169.99 single or $329.99 for a Pair, in 3 heights starting at 21.5 in. CozeCats is independent and not affiliated with Hilde & Phil.
What makes the CozeCat Side Table a Cat-e-Corner alternative?
Both are side tables that stand flush against a sofa arm with a sisal surface facing the corner, so your cat scratches the table instead of the upholstery. The CozeCat Side Table is our own design, made for people who like that idea and want a lower listed price, a sold-as-one Pair, or a lower 21.5 in height.
- Plywood frame with a Walnut or Maple wood finish.
- Natural sisal side with Velcro-backed replaceable mats at $43.86, in 4 weaves.
- Left, Right or Pair, and 3 heights (21.5, 23.5, 25.5 in).
- 50 lb top for a lamp, drinks or books.
Who should choose the CozeCat Side Table?
- Owners with lower sofa arms around 21 to 22 in, since our base height is 21.5 in.
- Anyone whose cat scratches both arms: the Pair is one order from $329.99.
- Shoppers who want a wood-look end table with a sisal side for under $230 per single.
- Households that want next-day shipping from Dallas and free shipping on orders over $99.
The design idea is simple. Cats scratch the sofa arm because it is tall, stable and right on their daily path. A table that stands flush against that same arm, with coarse sisal on the side the cat reaches first, gives the cat a better version of the same spot. The table then earns its place in the room as a lamp or coffee table, so you are not adding another piece of pet gear. When the sisal wears down, you replace only the mat, not the table.
Who might prefer a solid-wood table?
If solid wood construction is your top priority and the budget allows, a solid-wood scratcher table may suit you better. Our plywood vs. solid wood guide explains the real trade-offs in stability, weight and finish.

How do you get your cat to switch to it?
Put the table where your cat already scratches, rub catnip into the sisal and reward every use. The Ohio State Indoor Pet Initiative recommends this placement-and-reward approach, and the ASPCA advises against punishment. Cover any exposed part of the arm for 2 to 4 weeks while the habit moves.
What about shipping and returns?
Next-day shipping from our Dallas, Texas warehouse, free on orders over $99. 30-day returns: 30 days from delivery, unused, in the original packaging. See the Pair page for two-arm setups, or browse all guides.
