Caricarina Launches 'coppo2026', a Summer-Limited Cat Scratching Sofa Co-Created with Welfare Facility 'Kai'

Caricarina Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tateyama City, Chiba; Representative Director: Naoki Sato), operating the cat scratching post specialty brand "Caricarina," will release the summer-limited model "Caricarina coppo2026" in limited quantities on its official online shop starting Friday, May 22, 2026.

"coppo" is one of Caricarina's popular series, a summer-exclusive cat scratching sofa decorated with cooling tiles. For the 2026 model, three tile designs were adopted from over 100 proposals submitted by the users of "Kai" (Tateyama City, Chiba), a continuous employment support B-type facility. The tiles are applied one by one by hand, resulting in a visually refreshing and uniquely special finish.

Bringing "cooling comfort" and "relaxation" to living with cats in summer

"coppo" is a summer-limited model combining cooling tiles so that cats can spend hot seasons comfortably.

While maintaining the gentle curve shape based on Caricarina's proprietary "Nyan Engineering," the tile section creates a cool, soothing sensation. Designed to make cats naturally want to rest their bodies, it can be used not only as a scratcher but also as a sofa.

Additionally, the main body uses high-strength "super" reinforced corrugated cardboard, which is also used for export packaging. It is characterized by producing less debris and being durable and long-lasting.

Three Limited Designs Selected from Over 100 Proposals

Users of the continuous employment support B-type facility "Kai," who regularly assist in the production of Caricarina products, participated in the tile design creation for coppo2026.

This year, three designs were selected from over 100 ideas born from free thinking. While each has a distinct expression, they have been finished into designs that combine summer freshness with interior decor appeal.

Furthermore, the tile application process is done manually piece by piece, adding a warmth and individuality not found in mass-produced items.

Caricarina is committed to creating connections with the local community through manufacturing and providing spaces where diverse people can thrive.

About Caricarina, the Cat Scratcher Specialty Store

We manufacture scratchers using high-strength "super" reinforced corrugated cardboard meant for export packaging at our domestic factory. They are durable, long-lasting, and produce little debris, making cleaning easy. Our designs, which pursue a satisfying "scratching feel" for cats and "comfort" when sitting, along with their stylish furniture-like appearance, are supported by cat owners nationwide. Although Caricarina is known as an expensive scratcher, many customers evaluate it as cost-effective in the long run, and in a customer satisfaction survey (conducted in 2024), 95% answered they were "satisfied." Under the corporate philosophy of "For the smiles and happiness of all cats and cat owners," we deploy unique initiatives such as a "Return OK if the cat doesn't like it" service, a free collection service for used scratchers "Cari-ca Return," and "Cari-ca Hiroba" to support rescue cat activities.

◆ Durability and Scratching Feel Realized by "Super" Reinforced Cardboard

The cardboard used in Caricarina is "super" reinforced cardboard for export packaging. High strength equals cardboard worth scratching, so cats are satisfied even after just a few scratches. For use by a single cat, it lasts an average of about one year. Also, it's easy to clean because it rarely leaves scratching debris. Since it is sturdy and durable, it is more economical than frequently replacing cheap scratchers. In the long run, Caricarina is friendly to your wallet.

◆ "Nyan Engineering" Pursuing Cat Comfort

We gathered information from the cats of people who deeply love cats, researched the "shapes where cats relax," and formulated "Nyan Engineering." A cat's body is very flexible and can fit into any shape unexpectedly, but cats still love to "curl up." "Nyan Engineering" caters to these felines.
