My new cat was tearing up my run and not endearing himself to me. Then someone recommended this lounger to me.  I thought how can that save me; he had a million toys and scratchers.  Viola!  Rug saved - well almost - and I feel confident buying a new rug. I'd give it 5 stars but it is pricey for something that is meant to be destroyed.  Loved it so much bought a second one for my friend so her cats can have more of these. her "queen" has claimed it for herself. It's a life saver when nothing else worked.  I also love that it comes in two different colors to fit into your décor.
