My cat loves this pad!  As soon as the pad was delivered, I sprinkled just a tiny bit of fine catnip on the pad.  I then put it in her favorite spot, the bottom shelf of my greenhouse window.  She was fascinated with the new pad (with the catnip) and then the next time I looked she had laid down and was snuggling in for a nap.  Yes, it was a good purchase, and the Queen of the House agrees.
