Both cats love to sit in the middle and play with the ball. And one of them ONLY sharpens her claws on this - never on my furniture anymore :) I replace the cardboard about once every month or two. Best toy I have bought for them. Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this for my kitties for Christmas a year ago, and they continue to use it every day!

Ram Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:29:59 +0000 http://catschool101.com/blog/cat-toys/bergan-turbo-scratcher-cat-toy/#comment-30 I love my cat, but have spent so much money on toys she doesn't like that I'm starting to get annoyed. She's healthy and (otherwise) happy, but doesn't enjoy batting balls around or chasing string things as much as she used to. Lately I've bought the "Cat Charmer" and the "Cat Dancer" and the "Kong Squirrel" (all available on this site) and although she still likes the Charmer, the rest are sitting in a box now. I was hoping this Scratcher would make a difference, but it didn't. <br /> <br />I have two main problems with the purchase: <br /> <br />1. My cat has no interest in catnip, which seems to be the main draw to the cardboard part of the toy. She's unlikely to EVER scratch that part, especially considering how big and loud (the ball part of) it is. I guess I thought the ball would entice her to it, but after years of tossing balls around freely on the carpet, one stuck on a track doesn't seem to appeal to her. She's afraid to even approach this big, loud "thing" in the middle of the room. <br /> <br />2. Usually packaging isn't a big deal for me, but this was just awful. The box arrived with the flaps bent and partially open (the one piece of tape barely held it together). The "packing material" is one big piece of butcher paper, and the toy itself was not in good condition (the edges are cracked and discolored). Besides which, the box is about 3x too big for it, which seems like a huge waste if you're paying for shipping (I got the free deal since I bought more than $25 worth of stuff). <br /> <br />I'm about to throw up my hands and just get another cat for her to play with.

But I think if I remove the corrugated and ball I'll have a nice palette for mixing paints. Rating: 1 / 5 My cats have showed no interest whatsoever in this toy.
