We have gone through at least three of these dachshund scratchers, and soon we will be needing to break out another new one. They do come in three sizes now, so watch the dimensions when you order one. We use the current medium size, which used to be the largest of two sizes. We tend to grow largish cats around here, and even the largest one seems comfortable while lounging on this scratcher. This design is a favorite, and we will keep buying them.
