Catit Style Scratcher with Catnip - Jungle-Stripe Lounge

I have a seven pound ball of fury names Azrael. Azrael's sole purpose in life is to destroy whatever toys or scratching posts I bring home for her. Azrael is about 15 months old. In Azrael's short 15 months, she has destroyed three scratching posts.Now keep in mind that I don't just keep one scratching post in the house. To the contrary, I have at least one in every room of the house (I just counted nine in my head, but that may be off). My strategy for dealing with adolescent cats/kittens is to place a scratching post or pad in any place that I see them scratching up something I don't want them to scratch up. That strategy, along with a deterrent spray, will work after a while.I have another cat named Lucky who is far more gentle. He also has much larger claws. With opposable thumbs. When he reaches out his claws, it reminds me of that claw game where you can get a free hat. While he is very, very good at keeping his claws retracted, he sometimes needs to exercise them. Therefore, he also does a number on the scratching posts and pads that I bring home even if he uses them far less often.I like these scratching pads because they are inexpensive, and that makes them extremely replaceable when my cats inevitably destroy them. They are also surprisingly durable. The original one I bout about three years ago is still in my home, though I think it's days are now numbered. I see Azrael on it all the time. The problem is that, after three years of use, a small hole has developed. I decided that the hole posed an injury risk to a cat walking on it, so it needed to be replaced. I bought two more.The positives far outweigh the negatives here. Since I've already outlined the positive, I'll mention the negatives as well.The corrugated cardboard is not a barrier of any kind. In other words, if you sprinkle catnip on it, the catnip will fall right through to the floor. I found that when I do this, my cats will try to move the pad out of the way to get at the catnip. I personally don't even understand why they even include catnip. If you have cats, you should probably have some catnip somewhere in the house as well.This also makes a bit of a mess because the small pieces that the cats claw off when they are sharpening their claws fall through to the floor as well.I now have four of these (one of which is going in the trash due to its three years of abuse). I use them specifically in rooms and areas that don't have carpet. That makes the mess easy to clean up. For the rooms with carpet, I opt for a different option. I have two remaining scratching pads in my home that I will probably replace with these once they wear out.

Lower priced, rounded edges

First let me say that I have purchased basically the same thing previously at stores like Target, etc. I already knew that my cats liked them and used them to lay on, scratch, etc, and this held to be true for these as well. So based on how much they like these I would give it five stars. *However*, they are SOOOO messy! Some of the other reviewers were stating how durable they were that I was hoping they held up much better than my store bought ones. They are basically nothing more than compressed cardboard. When the cats use them to sharpen their claws they are ripped to little tiny bits of paper that then end up all over the carpet, or stick to the cats' fur and drop off in another room. Just know that if you get this and your cat has claws, you may very well end up having to vacuum on a daily basis ~ yes, they are that messy.All that being said, I DO recommend this, because having something to scratch and dull down those claws is so important. But, if you're having company and need the house clean, do yourself a favor and put this away a day or two ahead of time to keep the house cleaner. (It took me a while to figure that one out. lol)
