My cats had a habit of scratching my bed, especially in the night and it would wake me up. I purchased this after reading the reviews. Since I've put it in my room they haven't touched my bed. They use it to scratch and to lounge on. Will be buying another to put in our TV room.

One of my cats likes the cardboard scratchers but my other cat started scratching this as soon as we set it up! I never see them scratching furniture anymore..which is the point!

Bed is really small, my cat is 11lb. and hasn't even tried to get in it. The scratch post is in a very high angle which I think makes it difficult for a larger cat to scratch on it.

My cats love this scratching pad, and my cats are very picky about these things.

My cat randomly decide to start sleeping on the brand new leather couch.  But he would only do it at night when I was sleeping and every morning I would wake up to new pinhole marks in the cushions.  I bought 3 mats which covered my sectional completely.  You are able to see if the mat had gone off at all and the first night was 3, the next night 1 and then no more for the next week.  I removed them after a week, and the cat stayed off.  I used the lower setting and it was apparently enough!

I have 3 cats.  Two of them are under 2 years old.  I got it for them.  They LOVE it.  They will usually fight over who will sleep on it.  Both scratch on it daily. Sometimes together and sometimes not.

My cats are not interested in this one bit. I put it by what they were scratching (sofa, bed) but they ignored it. I tried to get them to scratch it accidentally by playing with them around it with toys but they still avoid it. Now I use it to lock my bedroom door when I don't want the kiddos bugging me and the wife for a few (it slides under the door and jams it pretty good!).

The bed doesn't get as warm to the touch as I expected, but my cats love it! The younger one has claimed it and sleeps there all the time, but when he is gone, the older one (who has never wanted the other cat beds I bought her) takes her turn too. This is a great purchase for the price, and the cats love it.

I got all 3 kinds of sticky paws, the big sheets, the regular strips and the roll. The roll form is handy for more targeted areas.  The cats (4) don't like the sticky paws.  But they do move to other areas that aren't covered.  So it's necessary to have something for them to scratch.  I got a very tall sisal covered post.  But they don't like sisal, so I wrapped it with a small rug and they all like it now.  The sticky paws covered furniture is not getting scratched now.  The regular strips work well on the vertical arms of a couch.  It's a little tricky getting the sticky part off the backing and onto the furniture, but it sticks and protects the couch. I would love to see them when they try to scratch.  I put it on stairs also - the vertical riser part.  But you need to cover all of them, because they'll just move to another step to scratch.

I add catnip to the center section and my cats love it. They frequently scratch their nails in the center section and they sleep draped across it. They also enjoy knocking the ball around in the trough.

I have two cats. The male sniffed it and walked away but the female walked around it several times sniffing and then got on it and stayed. She now uses it every day for scratching and sleeping. I like the contemporary look.

Out of four cats only one has ever used it, sometimes, he sleeps on it like a pillow a lot more than he scratches it. I buy these cardboard scratching pads from the store and they freakin' love scratching those things but not this.

I bought this 2 years ago to protect my couch from my cat. He has trimmed claws. He started scratching it as soon as I took it out of the package, so I returned it promptly.

It caused one of my cats to get small scabs all over her body. Off BB back to Natural Balance -- no scabs.

My cat  didn't like it initially, but kept coming back to be brushed more.

Came with catnip and cats will scratch it occasionally. However, because it only lies horizontal on the floor the cats will still occasionally scratch furniture and I had to put tape on the back of the scratcher to make sure it didn't move around(the cats use it less when it's moving around).

My cat likes to scratch things as cats are so apt to do. She scratches this and then doesn't its cycle that never ends
