I Got my Cat a Scratching Board (54)

I got my cats a scratching board which is made out of cardboard.

Purry looks like she really likes it and she has been scratching and biting it every day.

However, after she scratches the board, the room gets really messy because of the scum.

It was too much work to clean the floor every day, so I prepared a box for the scratching board.

She is enjoying scratching it today, too.

I didn't know how to say "kasu".

I mean the scratching board is made out of paper, so after she scratches it, tiny pieces of paper fall all over.

can I say " The room gets messy because of the scum"?


猫たちに段ボールでできたスクラッチングボードを買ってあげた。

ペーリーはとても気に入ったらしく毎日引っかいたりかんだりしています。

でも、彼女が引っかいた後、そのカスで部屋がとっても汚れます。

毎日床を掃除するのがとてもめんどくさかったので、スクラッチボードの入る箱を用意しました。

彼女は、今日も、楽しく引っかいています。

カスの言い方がよくわかりませんでした。

つまり、スクラッチングボードは紙でできているから、引っかいた後は紙くずが落ちます。

"scum" is not correct here. You could say, "The room gets messy because of the debris/scraps"

Good writing! I think other users have already given you good suggestions for translating カス.

My family's cats love scratching boards too, but they do get very messy!

I Got my Cat(s) a Scratching Board

In your next sentence you say "cats," so that's why I added the parentheses.

I got my cats a scratching board (which is) made out of cardboard.

"Which is" is a little verbose, it's most useful if you want to emphasize, or, in conversation, add additional unimportant info. However, it's perfectly correct.

Purry looks like she really likes it and she has been scratching and biting it every day.

However, after she scratches the board, the room gets really messy because of the scumcardboard shavings.

"Scum" sounds more like, hmm... Things that are wet and stinky. Like the stuff that grows on top of ponds is called scum.

Cardboard shavings seems to be a good translation here for this.
Maybe with the new scratching post, Purry will not bother Luna as much? Haha.

Yes, as long as she enjoys scratching it, Luna can peacefully relax.

Cardboard shaving. Thank you!

Purry looks like she really likes it and she has been scratching and biting it every day.

However, after she scratches the board, the room gets really messy because of the scumtorn-off bits.

This is tricky. I don't know of a special word for the fragments torn off of a cardboard scratching pad/board, but I'm pretty sure it's not scum! Scum is usually the trash, dirt, or other undesirable things collecting and floating atop a liquid.

それに英語では特別な言葉ないかな?They are pieces of cardboard, bits of cardboard. They are little fragments torn up from the scratching board.
"I love that my cat enjoys the scratching board so much, but she makes a mess with all the little bits and fragments that she tears out of it."

You can probably also use "scraps" or "litter" I think. Not sure if there's a more specific word for it though...
