Figure 8 Cat Scratcher (Turquoise)

I ordered two of these scratchers for my two poofies when I saw that they were on sale. This is the first time I had purchased these scratchers - usually I order the  PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge (Walnut Brown) , but let's face it - I'm not made out of money, so I thought I would go for this slightly smaller scratcher/lounger set, thinking it would not be that much different when I looked at the measurements. The scratcher is well made and looks great. It is definitely smaller than I had expected, even based on the measurements - but then again, I don't have that much spatial intelligence, so that one is on me. Our cats were not as enthused as they have been with the larger loungers. Generally our cats immediately swarm the new loungers when we unpack them, but they looked rather askance at this one. This may be because it does not come with an intro catnip package, the way other scratchers do.I was also surprised that the scratcher was as light as it is considering how dense it appears; when our cats jump on the scratchers, they slide along our hardwoods as though nothing was on them. The scratcher is good and will get the job done, but the size precludes our cats (who aren't large, barely 10 pounds) from being able to perch on them and get a herky scratch because they are so light that they won't support that activity. We will use them until they fully succumb to our kitty's claws, but I don't think we will purchase again; they are good scratchers, but I don't think the quality is worth the cost of this scratcher. We will go back to larger scratchers/loungers in the future.

Fast shipping and packaged well. The turquoise color is accurate to the picture. It is well made and flips so you can use it on both sides. Twice the scratching area! We have two MASSIVE 17 pounds cats. The arch in the scratcher allows them to fit their big frame right over the top. There legs dangle over the side which they don't seem to mind. They trade off turns on it. Considering buying another one since they stare at each other when the other one is sleeping on it. We have a small modern house and not alot of room for bulky cat toys. I didn't want a scratcher that was the main feature of the room so this one is perfect. Other scratchers in the pet stores have flimsy cardboard and do not look modern like this one. Also they shred much faster. Cleaning Maintenance: Our cats shed alot so it gets fur stuck on it. All you need to do is use a lint roller and it takes it right off. Looks new again! The cardboard will eventually start to shed which means its working :) The pieces are lightweight enough to easily vacuum or sweep up every once in awhile. Ok yeah. I'm going to buy another one!

My 2 cats love this very much. I actually have 3 different sizes. My furniture is protected ,they prefer to scratch on this. They enjoy lounging on them or taking naps. Also it's just attractive, I don't mind having them out in any room. Like art!

The construction is nice, but the picture with two cats sitting on it is misleading. Those are kittens. My cat is too large to comfortable lounge on this. The construction is good, and the cat did instantly know it was for scratching, so that part is good. Color is nice - as depicted.

Cat won't stop scratching or climbing on furniture right beside it, but that's not what this is for. My cat seems to use it sporadically, but she doesn't have an issue using it. She likes to sit on her butt, reach up, and just strrrrreeeetttcchhhhhhhh.. So this is a lil different for her which is why I think I like and recommend it.

This is the perfect size for my Natasha who claimed this one! I have four other kittys to buy for. The price is right and I love the turquoise color.

thought it would of been just a little heavier but my Cats love it.

This is a perfect cat scratcher and it is made very sturdy and my cats love it
