I bought two of these as gifts for my daughters' rescue cats. There are 11 of them living in two apartments, and their old scratchers were pretty worn out. The cats immediately came to investigate, sniff, and scratch. The two boys claimed them for naps right away, and the girls had to entertain themselves with the boxes, which were great bonus gifts that came free with the scratchers. ;) There are also small bags of catnip that are included, which is a nice touch, but totally unnecessary in our case. Eventually they all had their turns. These scratchers are are a big hit with the cats.

Pros: They look great and the cats love them.
Cons: They are a little pricy.
