SEOUL, South Korea — Following the success of its freeze-dried cat treats, UKIUKI (by ETBE Retail, now UKIUKI Corporation) introduced a product that quickly caught the attention of Korea’s cat community: the UKIUKI Carpet Scratcher.

Why Carpet Instead of Cardboard?

Most cat scratchers on the Korean market were made from corrugated cardboard. While affordable, they had two well-known drawbacks: excessive dust when scratched, and short lifespan requiring frequent replacement.

UKIUKI’s carpet scratcher addressed both issues. Made from durable carpet material, it produces significantly less dust and lasts far longer than paper-based alternatives — making it better for both cats and their owners.

Designed Around Cat Behavior

The scratcher was designed as a box-style structure that reflects natural cat behavior. Key features include:

• Side holes that function as peek-a-boo openings and play tunnels — encouraging mental stimulation and exercise
• Enclosed box shape that provides a sense of security cats naturally seek
• Durable carpet surface that satisfies the scratching instinct without creating mess

6 DIY Designs That Match Your Interior

The UKIUKI Carpet Scratcher line launched with six different designs. Each product features front-printed panels that allow consumers to choose and assemble their preferred shape in a DIY format. The variety of colors was specifically chosen to harmonize with home interiors — turning a cat product into a piece of functional decor.

Part of a Growing Product Ecosystem

The carpet scratcher joined UKIUKI’s expanding product range that already included six varieties of freeze-dried treats, cat towels designed for water-averse cats, cat grass, and decorative wall stickers.

CEO Rachel Ham reinforced the brand’s direction: “UKIUKI continues to research and develop products for cats and cat lovers. We will strive to become a more substantial company through innovative management.”
