I love these throws.  They are very soft, wash well and are quite durable.  The only issue I have isn't really with the blanket... I have two kittens, 7 months now, and one of them kneads and sucks on the blankets.  It is a comfort issue due to her being born feral and removed from her mom so early.  I have 2 of these that she is allowed to use as her comfort blankets and the rest are for people only... lol.  Have 6 total of them.  Great throws... blankets...
