If you remember, we reviewed the original Brawny Cat “Sleeky Lounge“, which we loved.
But this one is it’s big brother, and therefore it’s the Sleeky Lounge XL.
In comparison to the first generation of Sleeky Lounges, this one is way better quality and the cardboard fluting tightness is better than I have seen in the other cardboard cat scratcher that we have reviewed (well, maybe the Brawny Cat Big Baby‘s padlet is comparable).
For an all-cardboard cat scratch lounger – these are awesome. This is cat scratch lounge where the kitty’s body doesn’t hang off the edge! They are the perfect cardboard cat scratchers for large breed cats like Ragdolls, Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats.
They are incredibly spacious:
They come in 3 different colors
- Blue Patina
- Lavender Blend
- Royal Red
You can buy them directly from Brawny Cat for $49.95 plus a shipping rate of $6.95.
Charlie and Trigg give the Sleeky Lounge XL two thumbs up! And so do I! It is going to be added as a recommended product in A Ragdoll Kitten Care Guide.
Here’s Charlie hanging out on the Sleeky Lounge – you can see how well it contours to a kitty:

Here’s our final review video:
We received the The Brawny Cat Sleeky Lounge XL from the manufacturer. Receiving the free product did not influence this post.
Jenny,
I have this in royal red. It’s wonderful. Only, recommending it to my RagaMuffin breeder, I can’t make the brawnycat.com website link work. Are these great beds still available? You seemed to have spoken with the maker, personally.
Many thanks!
Linda
No, unfortunately they are no longer being made. I tried to contact Andrew on numerous occasions to see what the deal was with no response. I am really sorry – it sucks because you are not alone! My cats equally love the PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge. Have you tried it?
Other than the Big Baby and the Big Sleeky, for some reason, I like these scratchers the best out of all of them!
Bought the blue scratcher- we call it Cleopatra’s sofa because Tessa is laying on it 90% of the time she’s supine. One big negative is (and maybe’s it’s just Tessa) but she ha scratched so much there is a trail of little pieces of cardboard everywhere she goes. I guess since she’s lying on it it gets on her fur and then she transports everywhere around the house. It’s pretty expensive to buy her a new one every month or 2. Just my humble comment. I’ll have to say she really loves it but causes me ALOT of cleaning.
