"My cat likes to scratch the top of this log and hide in it and look out. I bought it so he could scratch on wood without scratching on the closet doors... I'm happy that he likes it."

— Lynne

"Don't be misled by the photo. The "wood" on this scratcher is as thin as cardboard. The interior is useful as a cave and for scratching, but the exterior is useless because the log rolls over immediately with the slight pressure."

Bottom Line

If your cat loves to scratch and you're ok with a bit of mess, this is a great scratcher. It's well-built and cats seem to enjoy it, which makes it a solid purchase.
