Fatty™ Cat Spinpad

One of the cat's favorite resting spots. She doesn't really play with the balls anymore, but it doesn't really matter. I like that it gave her a nice little landing pad for her to lord over us. Cat recommends.

I was hoping my kitties would be more excited about this scratching board. They love corrugated scratching pads, so I expected this would be no different.....but they really don't care about it. As far a quality-this is fine, seems to be very durable and it's a nice size. The chasing balls are fun, and one lights up. It is exactly as described, there is nothing wrong with it. My cats just don't seem to have any interest in it whatsoever. But, that's cats for you!

I am happy with this toy and my kitties are as well.

At first, my kitties were wary of it. They smelled of it a lot but did not play on it. My kitty who loves to scratch just scratched it at first. So I had to push the balls around for her to see what it does. After that, it was on!

One of my rescue kitties seemed to like it which was odd since she doesn't play often since she is fighting some health conditions, so I think this means even older cats or those who don't play with many other toys would like it. (She is around 10.)

The only reason I could not give it five stars is that the bottom is slick; when we had it on the hard floor like in the picture it would slide when they jumped on it and that would scare them. That made me sad. I had to move it to the carpet as a result, which isn't where I wanted to put it.

Another thing is a similar toy that I had had little "teeth" around the edges of where the scratcher goes to hold it in place, and this one does not have it - so far the scratcher has not come out, but I do have to wonder if that might be an issue at some point.

This toy is quite large, so you will need a decent bit of space to have it accessible and room for the kitties to run and jump around it so they can use it properly. That was a good thing for me because my kitties are quite large and there is plenty of room for them to sit or lay on it and stretch out to scratch.

If they could make this with a non-slip bottom I would give it five stars without hesitation.

First off, this thing is huge! My 14 year old boy hasn't left it alone since unboxing it. While it is big, the plastic isn't heavy enough to weigh it down, so it easily slides across the floor although the description says it weighs nearly 3lbs. This could be potentially problematic and lead to scratch floors if you don't have it in a carpeted area. I'm going to find some rubber nubs to put on it to hopefully help prevent it from sliding across the floor. My only other complaint is that it will likely be very difficult to find replacement cardboard for this monster. Just a note, it is not exactly as it is pictured in the listing. There aren't feather wands that come with it (which is fine). I just wish the product image accurately shows you what you will receive.

The cats LOVE this - great quality, solid and one of the balls lights up - bonus!
