"My cats and I all love this thing! I wish I got the larger one but the small does just fine. Two of my three cats love this and I love watching them play with it."

— Camille

"This is very cute and looks exactly as pictured. Unfortunately it's not heavy enough to stay put when my cat tries to scratch on it. So she's given up on using it that way and now just uses the yolk as a place to rub her chin and sleep."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a durable and reliable scratcher toy, this may not be the best choice. However, if you're willing to replace it frequently and have smaller cats, it could be a fun addition to their playtime.
