LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I bought 3 scratching posts from wayfair because I had just bought a new couch and redid my house and DID NOT want any claw marks on my new things. Out of the three I bought, this is the one both my cats scratch on. The ball is of course now ripped off by my more feisty cat, but the scratcher is still there serving its purpose. It does rock a bit when they scratch, so I recommend screwing it into the wall so it does not get knocked down. Will be buying this again once they wear it out!
