Treasborn Durable Cat Scratcher Thick Sisal Scratching Pad for Cats Anti-Slip Scratch Sleeping Mat No Mess Furniture Protecter Natural for Claws

My cat loves this scratcher! She went to it immediately after placing it on the floor. After some investigation she decided to make it her own. She lays on it and stretches out to scratch it. The sisal is thick and the edges are finished well. It has pads on the bottom to help it adhear to surfaces though it doesn't slip around on the carpet. Our Kitty has an undesireable scratching habit and this has really helped her to scratch in a more appropriate place.

This mat has been working out very well for us! It's very sturdy and a good size. My cat is on the smaller side (12-15 lbs), but I believe it could accommodate a larger cat as well. Are first, he only laid on it every so often, but I think he preferred when I put it on the wall instead (another reviewer did that which made me want to try it). I stuck some velcro toys on it, and he liked stretching or jumping on them to get them back! I would recommend this to someone who needs scratching options for their kitty and versatility in its placement. Speaking from experience, it can be hard to have enough scratching posts in a smaller apartment. I've never had any issues with my kitty scratching up furniture or the couch, but I like the idea that it can be used for that as well. It's high quality scratching material, very reasonable cost, and will last a long time.

I didn't have to do anything but put it down. The cat knew exactly what it was and what to do. She started scratching and sniffing it and its gonna do just great!. I thought it would be thinner than it was, so glad it has a nice thickness to it. It will go perfectly with their cat tree. It has Velcro on one side to keep it in place, and a nice pattern on both sides. Good, solid stitching. I am very happy with my purchase.

I purchased a less expensive cat scratching mat before I purchased this one and you get what you pay for... that one stunk like something toxic and poisonous.This one says it has a slight odor that dissipates quickly and that made me a little wary about buying it but I'm glad I did! I find the claim to be very true; the smell was not bad and it aired out quickly so it was not a problem at all.This mat is a nice large size and my cats love it and use it every day. It seems to be quite durable too. I'm highly satisfied with this purchase. Don't waste your money on small, poorly made, toxic, stinky products, your cats are worth the good quality and it's cheaper in the long run because the others may be a waste of money (like the one I purchased first). This one is well worth it! The quality is great, the size it great and the price is reasonable.One note: I read in some reviews that there was a discrepancy in the trim color. Some are white trim and some are black trim. I'm not sure where it indicated which color I was supposed to get (I was under the impression the trim would be white) but my trim was black (which I prefer anyway as it matches our design). You might want to ask the seller what color trim you'll be getting before you make purchase (if the color is important to you).

This scratching pad is absolutely perfect! I was very surprised at the quality of this product, for such a low price. My cat, Elvis, is very picky and I really thought it would take a long time for him to even try it and worried that he would turn his little cat nose up at it as he does everything else, but I was wrong! He was scratching on it within the first hour of me putting it out, and this pad has saved the life of my very long, expensive panel drapes in my living room! I had tried a scratching post made of supposedly durable cardboard before, and that was making a mess, but Elvis hasn't gone near the cardboard post since getting this sisal mat. I love the sisal material, it really is thick and tough, but it's still comfortable enough apparently that Elvis even naps on it daily! The size is perfect, and it's a little bigger than what I was expecting. The product details are very accurate on this product, which is rare. I believe that this mat is going to last us a long time, and you can't beat the price for something this well-made. Elvis loves his new sisal mat, and I love that it makes him happy, saves my furniture, doesn't smell or get dirty very quickly, is thick and heavy enough with bottom design that keeps it from sliding and moving, has great stitching and design, and has velcro on the back for hanging or wrapping around a post! After using this mat, we will never go back to messy cardboard again! I'm more than happy with this product!

Most of my cats really like using the sisal scratching mat. They knew what it was and began kneading on it right away. I think they are more apt to use it if I sprinkle some catnip on, but they still like it. It's very durable and well made. I can see that this scratching pad will last a long time. The only trouble I had with it was when attaching to my couch, the sticky pads on the back didn't work. It's a heavy duty mat, so the sticky pads on the back were just not strong enough to hold it in place for more than an hour. Other than that, its a nice product.

The Treasborn Cat Scratcher had mixed results among my pets. One of my cats immediately laid on the scratching pad and scratched at it as soon as I placed it on the floor. My other cats sniffed it a little but did not seem interested. Oddly enough my dog seems to like lying on it as well. I tested the product around the house in different locations and positions as well as with catnip on it. The velcro attachment is great for positioning the pad pretty much anywhere. Currently, it is attached to the corner of my bed to keep the cats from scratching it (and working!). The material is great, durable, and the size perfect. Overall, the product is good, my pets just aren't super interested in it. At least I have a good floor mat or furniture protector now!

I received this, put it down for my cat, he walked up to it, started hissing and backed away. It had a really bad smell and I don't know if it was mildewy or what but neither my cat nor I could stand it. Packaged it back up and immediately returned it to Amazon.
