Bergan Turbo Scratcher Cat Toy Assorted 16" x 16" x 1.88"

I bought this for my cat last year after reading the awesome reviews, and well to be honest, he was not impressed. I tried adding a golf ball to it, tried the cat nip, and all he used was the scratch pad in the middle. I kept it out just in case he would develop an interest but there was none to be had. My sister visited recently from out of town who has a cat, so I asked her if she wanted to give it a try and she said sure and took it home with her. That evening she sent a picture of her cat playing with it and told me that her cat had not stopped playing with it since she set it down. Now weeks later she's still astounded by how much her cat is enjoying it which makes me very happy, and Bear - my cat - has not missed it one bit. So I guess it depends on the cat!

We have six cats and they LOVE this!! Some like to sit in the middle of it but most love spinning the ball around the track, seemingly endlessly. We just ordered a second one, as one of our cats has commandeered the first one and refuses to let anyone else play with it when she is near it. The only downside is it can be noisy, especially in the middle of the night, so place it accordingly! Our cats have LOTS of toys, but the Turboscratcher is definitely THE most appreciated and most used by them. It's quite sturdy too and lasts indefinitely, as the inside scratcher part is the only thing that wears out and that is easily replaced. You'll want to buy more than one if you have a multiple cat household!!

Someone bought this for my kitty last year as past of a Secret Santa gift. My cat loves it. I just sprinkle a little nip in the scratcher and he goes to town. I've got a bunch of little ball toys with bells and toys inside that fit in the ball run very easily. He loves chasing them around and he can be heard playing with this toy all hours of the day. I decided to order 2 more for gifts to other family kitties. As I was wrapping them up, my cat kept trying to attack it because he could smell the little pack of nip inside. And probably because it looks like his fav toy. They make refill scratchers that are pretty cheap and I try to always have them on-hand so I can replace his scratcher when it get tore up. I would recommend this to any cat owner.

The stabilizers on the bottom to keep it from moving don't work, but the toy itself is amazing. Cats play with it all day. They don't scratch at the middle, so it doesn't make a mess and they love the cat nip in the middle of the toy. (It comes with catnip). The ball you can take out and clean if you feel necessary and then easy to pop back in. To make it fun, I sometimes put multiple of their ball toys in there for them to bat around, even if they're too small to keep from popping out.

We rescued 2 feral cats. Well, they rescued me.

The 2 were sisters, but different coloring. The first one came to us and wanted to be part of our family. I bought one of these toys for her to play with, and even after months, she plays with it daily (and nightly).

Starr, out "tortie", was not so easily tamed, but after months, I finally caught her, and after spaying and vet visits, she is with her sister but not quite as brave. We bought our second one of these toys so she could have one of her own in the room she claimed as hers.

Both cats love spinning the ball, and most important, clawing the cardboard insert and not our furniture. Even after months, I'm surprised how well the cardboard holds up. Still haven't needed to replace it.

It's fun watching our pets play with these and it gives them exercise, and they actually act like they like to show off for us at how fast they can make it spin.

Well made.......
