I bought this just to give it a try with my 3 cats.
At first all T-Bone did was sit on it,but he finally figured it out.The other two cats avoided it for almost two weeks,but they too have now come to the conclusion that the cat scratcher can be a fun toy.
They actually use it quite often.

Pros: the cats like it

Cons: none really

The shelter cats really injoyed these for a couple of days. They need more now!! It was great fun to watch them use it.

Pros: exercise the cats, keeps them off furniture

Cons: tears up easy,

It took a while for them to use this scratcher but they now use it off and on.

Pros: none

Cons: none
