furniture isn't really worth caring about. Emmanuel - these are great. They are flat - about 10 x 24 x 2 inches tall at a guess. And they are made of what looks like a gigantic piece of corrugated cardboard sliced off and placed so the corrugated end is up. Cats love to scratch all the little holes and they often come with catnip you can drop into the holes to drive them even crazier.Jane, I did edit out the earthier details from our experience with the cardboard floor cat scratchers, which I highly recommend. Our male cat, when we would sprinkle the catnip into the scratcher would eventually urinate on to it. Just that scratcher. No where else. We could only figure he was so overcome that he would mark it as his own.
So we went through them a bit more quickly than the average household. I think he was eccentric that way and does not represent the average cat. So don't worry, e!
I dig a pony.
