Although I thought this pad would be used often by my 5 cats, I was wrong! For some reason none of them liked the material (which resembles poly fiberfill matted into a pad). I did decide to keep them.  I need to trim the pad into an oval shape to conform to their wicker beds, which could easily be done with scissors. I'll cover them with another soft material that they like so hopefully my purchase won't be a total loss.
