> 3 dayIt seemed to me that the box the scratching pad lies in would be too small to accommodate my medium sized, but plump Musidora. But she absolutely loves it! Now she spends much of her time alternately resting in it or scratching it to shreds. I think there may be two styles of cat scratching: vertical and horizontal. The cats I have lived with before Musidora have either enjoyed or been indifferent to traditional scratching posts. Musidora seems to swing both ways: she can really party with her scratching post, but I think her real passion lies with horizontal scratching. She has always liked to scratch our carpet, and now she delights in her new scratch pad and box, cramped as the box may seem to a biped. But only a cat can kno what delights it.

> 3 dayVery impressed with this set of 5 cat scratch pads. No extra bells and whistles - and does the job intended. Our cats are used to these mats, so no need for catnip etc to entice use. I do miss the inclusion of a box to catch the cardboard scrapings, but not a big deal as I can reuse a previous case from another set.

> 3 dayI got these to go in a frame, but they are too short and too wide.... That said, they are well structured and I can just place them on the floor for my cat.

> 3 dayWell made and arrived with no bangs or dings. Slinky the Shy jumped right on them as soon as they hit the floor!

> 3 dayMy cats had another scratching pad that was a bit better quality. The cardboard was a little denser. However, it cost about twice the price of one of these pads. So, for the price, Im pretty happy with this pack. Now that I have five of them, I can spread a few about the house. Also, the images shown depict the item exactly. You shouldnt be disappointed when you receive it. Too often the product doesnt seem to match the photos provided but thats not the case with this item.

Greater than one weekI have 9 cats and they all love this, go figure. You buy expensive cat scratchers which they ignore and then they go nuts for a piece of cardboard, lol. They all not only use this for scratching, but they love to just sit on it. Its double sided so when one side is destroyed you turn it over. I have tile floors and while it does move, it doesnt bother the cats. Ive come to like that when the doorbell rings you can easily kick it out of sight, unlike cat trees and sisal posts. It is just cardboard so theyre scratching does ruin it and you do find small pieces of cardboard laying around. Everyones happy here.

Greater than one weekI was home and no one even took the 4seconds to knock on the door and hand me my package. I dont call that any kind of customer service. I do love the scratching pads as does my cat Queenie.

> 3 dayThese cat scratching pads are not the right size to fit the existing frames that I had, but they work just as fine as it is. They are Madewell, or robust, and were clean and nice smelling when they arrived. My cats were very excited to start, scratching on them, with or without any catnip encouragement, and have been very happy with the scratching pads since I put them down. I have absolutely no complaints.

> 3 dayCats can (and WILL!) use ANYTHING to clean and sharpen their nails -- Furniture, wooden doorframes, carpets, ANYTHING! But for some reason they can, and do, use cardboard, whether it is a box full of stuff sitting in a corner, or a mat like this one laid out on the floor for their specific use. Weve had cat scratcher pads for almost as long as weve had cats, and I STILL dont know for sure what makes a good one, or a bad one. These scratch pads are a bit shorter (see picture) than the usual size weve gotten (I kind of think of that as a bad point), but they are definitely more tightly weaved than the ones in current use (and I tend to think that will prove to be a very, very good point for them). I made a heavy box frame to put the cat scratchers into to help hold them down (make them a bit less mobile and not skid around on the linoleum floor), but it is longer than these scratch pads by about 2 inches. These pads are also a bit thinner (1-inch versus 1.5-inches) so they do not fill the home-made box as well. I believe the thinner size will not affect anything, as I have cut some old ones apart and they generally tear up between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch of the thickness from each side, so we should still be able to flip these over and get double-sided use out of them. Overall, since cats can use solid objects like wood as scratching posts, I think the most important attribute of scratching pads is the density of the weave, and these have the other guy beat hands down in that category (see picture). If I had gotten these years ago, and built my box for this length, I would probably give 5 stars, but due to the empty spot caused by the shortness of these pads versus the other guy, I feel I have to hold back one star. (Is there any way to get Cat Scratch Pads standardized so everybody makes the same size?!?)

> 3 dayThese scratch boxes are my cat’s favorite! I like that they last awhile because you can flip each panel before using a new one. I recommend highly.
