Within a minute, my kitty had fished both balls out of the holes 🥲😒

The catnip makes it appealing! But it's too small for a British Shorthair to lie on, and the first ball is already rolling around the room – and by the way, so is the board!

Based on the many comments about the scratching boards breaking, I immediately made some cardboard blocks myself to support them. I had actually expected that she would at least occasionally stick her paws through the holes for the jingly balls. But somehow, the whole thing doesn’t interest her at all. Strangely enough, the scratching board I previously built myself in a wooden frame (without integrated toys) appeals to her much more. That’s where the action really happens!

The corrugated cardboard is relatively soft and gets worn out quickly by enthusiastic scratching cats. In my opinion, it's more suitable for kittens and occasional scratchers.

My large Maine Coon didn’t want to use it. But as soon as the scratching cardboard was out of the colourful box and lying on the floor, excitement kicked in.

Was briefly played with after unpacking, but then hardly given any attention. Cardboard generally isn’t a hit with us...

Since the entire product is made of cardboard, my two little rascals turned the toy into confetti within just a few hours. After this massacre, only the jingle balls from inside were left. The verdict: Lovely, but more suited for gentler and less destructive cats.

My cats really like the toy, but after 5 minutes they managed to get the balls out of the box and are now rolling them around the flat.

It makes a good impression, but the cats aren’t interested in it... even with the included sprinkle-on additive, it unfortunately doesn’t become any more appealing. We took out the balls inside, and at least they’re being played with :)

Unfortunately, even the second time, the cardboard quickly broke under the (normal) weight of my cats and developed a tear at the spot where it wasn't supported.

My three tomcats actually had a lot of fun with the cardboard. The problem... Since the cardboard rests on two "supports" on the sides of the box, the scratching cardboard easily breaks in the middle under heavier cats. That happened to us on day 2. For European Shorthairs, though, the scratching cardboard should be perfectly suitable!

The board was played with straight away. Unfortunately, our cat managed to fish the balls out through the openings within 5 minutes. That was the end of the toy for him. It would be better if the balls were larger than the openings...

Uses it intensively, but unfortunately it's not really suitable for heavy cats (6kg) – it broke in the middle. A solution could be to add a support beam in the centre. I'll buy it again if the middle becomes more stable :)

Its not expensive (about the same as a similar one in a big high street pet store) so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but it does the job as a scratch pad and my cat likes to sit on it as well, as its raised a bit off the floor. I'm slightly worried about the balls inside - after the first couple of days I found one on the floor, and yesterday I saw him reach in and hook one out quite easily. I'm not sure whether they are meant to come out and are safe for unsupervised play.

My two cats haven’t scratched it even once in the past eight months, even though they love other cardboard scratching boards. If I put treats in the box, they’ll paw at the holes a bit... but that’s about it. Unfortunately... The product itself looks high-quality (which is why I’m still giving it 3 stars), and I can’t find anything about it that would make it unappealing to the cats.

My cat sometimes gets into this but would be improved my 3 balls inside instead of 2 to keep her attention a bit longer. As it’s only made of cardboard she has already started to pull apart the outer casing but for the price it’s what to be expected. Hopefully she’ll get more into this toy as she plays with this more!

Both of my little ones love this toy! Unfortunately, the holes are far too big. At first, I thought it might have happened during shipping, causing the cover to warp, but even with the second one, the holes are still far too big! In less than a minute, they managed to fish out the balls, making the toy uninteresting! If the "hole problem" were fixed, I would give the toy full stars.

My cats love scratching it extensively, especially my long-haired tomcat with a cardboard fetish. After he's had his go, there are bits of paper scattered all over the room. Unfortunately, he also eats them, so it's going away for now.

Unfortunately, not a very durable scratching board. My cat likes this kind of cardboard toy 😹—holes with contents (food or toys) are very popular, but it doesn’t last very long.

My two cats had about 10 minutes of fun with the product. After that, they had already fished out the jingle balls without any force and scattered them around the flat, which quickly caused them to lose interest in the product.
