"The cats still scratch the furniture a bit but not as much as before these cardboard scratchers. They don't like this version as much as the Turbo Scratcher (no longer available at Petco) but they do stop and use this scratcher many times throughout the day. My only issue with this scratcher is the mess it leaves - shredded cardboard everywhere. The Turbo Scratcher seems better designed to hold the shredded cardboard within the edges and the cats love playing with the ball included in the Turbo version. Also, the Turbo Scratcher had refills available while this version doesn't. I'd give 5 paws for the Turbo Scratcher - it has a fun factor for the cats (in the middle of the night I've heard the cats making the ball go round and round), it's much easier to clean up the shredded cardboard, and it has refills which really keep the cost down."
