(More customer reviews)Part of this mistake is my fault. I read extra wide and made an assumption. I have been buying extra wide scratchers from Trader Joe's for $8 apiece. Since these were selling for $8.99 with super saver shipping, plus the 4 for 3 special, they would net out to about $6.75 apiece, so I thought this would be a good purchase. I assumed that these scratchers would be the same size as Trader Joe's. Wrong. This scratcher is 15 inches long and 7 inches wide.
Not only are these 2 and 1/2 inches less wide than Trader Joe's, they are 3 inches shorter as well! My cat ranges between 15 1/2 and 17 pounds, depending on whether I watch what he eats, plus he is very long and strong. These scratchers are not big enough for him. He was able to scratch on it, but he had to crouch to do it. The size of this scratcher is appropriate only for a cat that is 10 pounds or less.
The overall quality of construction also fails, and my cat is going to tear these to shreds very quickly. Yes, I am going to make Matt the cat use these because I can't return them without more cost. Also, for me it's a good thing if his claws aren't sharpened as much because he jumps me (but that's another story). The outer box is very flimsy, that is, paper thin cardboard, versus being a thick corrugated paper (that would be compared to Trader Joe's). I immediately had to tape up all four corners to ensure that the box will hold together.
Most scratchers come with a separate pouch of catnip to put on the top area. This one says that the scratcher portion has been treated with organic catnip, but you wouldn't know it by my cat. To summarize, these are a total ripoff at any price over $4 each, and if your cat is large, as mine is, they are not worth it at any price.
