A maple cat scratcher side table is a light-toned end table with natural sisal on the side facing your sofa arm. The CozeCat Side Table in Maple comes in Left, Right or Pair, 3 heights (21.5, 23.5 or 25.5 in), holds 50 lb on top and starts at $169.99.
What is a maple cat scratcher side table?
It is an end table and a scratching post in one footprint. You get a flat top for a lamp, a plant or your morning coffee, rated for up to 50 lb. Your cat gets a tall, stable panel of natural sisal right where the sofa arm used to take the damage.
The Maple version has a plywood frame with a pale Maple wood finish. It is not solid maple. The point is a calm, light piece that hides the fact that it is cat furniture, at a price most households can justify.
Why choose the Maple finish?
Maple keeps a bright room bright. It is the easier match if your space has:
- Scandinavian or Japandi styling, with clean lines and natural textures,
- light floors in oak, ash, birch or light vinyl plank,
- neutral sofas in cream, oatmeal, beige or light grey, and linen or bouclé textiles.
A dark scratcher in a pale room draws the eye. Maple blends in. If your room leans dark and warm, look at the walnut cat scratcher side table instead.
| If your room has… | Consider |
|---|---|
| Light floors, white walls, linen textiles | Maple |
| Dark woods, leather, deep colors | Walnut |
| Both | Match the closest wood piece to the sofa |
Which side and height fit your sofa?
Side. Face the sofa. Left arm scratched? Choose Left. Right arm? Choose Right. Both? The Pair covers both arms for less than two singles.
Height. Measure the arm at the front corner, floor to top, then use this:
| Your sofa arm height | Pick |
|---|---|
| Under 23.5 in | 21.5 in (base) |
| 23.5 in to just under 25.5 in | 23.5 in (2" riser) |
| 25.5 in or more | 25.5 in (4" riser) |
For sectionals and recliners, our cat scratcher for sectionals and recliners page covers chaise corners and recliner clearance.

Will your cat actually use it?
Most cats will, if the scratcher is in the right spot and feels better than the couch. Cats look for surfaces that are tall, stable and rough enough to shred, and they return to places that already carry their scent. The Cornell Feline Health Center notes that scratching is normal behavior that should be redirected, not punished.
- Put the table flush against the arm your cat already uses.
- Rub catnip or silvervine into the sisal for the first few days.
- Reward your cat every time they use the sisal.
- Block any still-exposed part of the arm with a throw for 2 to 4 weeks.
Worried that a scratcher by the couch teaches cats to scratch the couch? We answer that in does a scratcher next to the couch teach the habit?
Will maple show wear or stains?
Your cat scratches the sisal side, not the wood. The top sees normal table use, so use a coaster for wet drinks, wipe spills quickly and avoid dragging heavy objects. When the sisal looks worn, swap the Velcro-backed mat for a new one at $43.86; our cat scratcher side table buyer's guide explains how long mats usually last.
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.
