We have 3 cats running arounf here. My daughter and SIL's cats don't have claws but mine does and this works really well to keep him from clawing on furniture. We just moved in together with them and I'm trying to not have to declaw my cat. He loves this and uses it all the time and so do their 2 cats. It's easy to put together. I did it myself in 5 mins. or so.
