This looks just like the picture on the box, but that picture is so small that details are difficult to see. There is a flat rubber ring (grey) to keep the toy from moving, and inside that a white plastic rim. Inside the rim rests the scratching pad. It is blue and made out of dense cardboard, in many layers. There are holes in the card that my cats love! This appeals to them greatly, and the cardboard seems to be impressively sturdy. The toy comes with some catnip to help teach your cats to like it, and they also suggest hiding small treats in the holds. I did that, and it helped more than the catnip -my cats love the hidden treats. Both of my cats use it for scratching naturally, and the older cat also loves to sleep on it.

I very much like that the material is not rug. The rug scratching posts are a HUGE mistake, because they teach cats to sharpen their claws on rugs, and this is a very difficult habbit to break. The blue scratching pad did sometimes come out the first few days, but it is easy enough to put back where it belongs. After the first week, the cats stopped taking the blue scratching pad out of the white/grey holder. The cardboard has taken some damage from cat claws, but only a few surface imperfections. This is less than I expected given the heavy use it has gotten over the last two months.

This scratching pad has now lasted 4 years use by two cats. The surface has lasted better than my rug scratching posts the same age. I definitely got my money's worth.

Bought the set and our cats just ignored the scratch pad. I was thinking of donating it to a shelter because it was just using up room.

Suddenly, one started to use it, then the rest joined in. Now I need to order refills.

This seems like a good idea but my cat ignored it after the first day mainly because the cardboard part pulls out of the plastic shell too easily. She could hook it and pull it free on her second try. Not much of a scratching pad. I tried repositioning the pad and even wrapping some tape around it to make it fit in the frame more snugly but she could still pull it free. In addition, the cardboard is easily pried apart so she can actually remove pieces of the layers and possibly choke on them. Now the whole thing's in the trash where it belongs.

It is a well built product, but neither of my cats are interested in it. I rubbed catnip all over it (a few times) and left it sitting out for at least a month, but both of my cats ignored it. I'm disappointed, but we all know how fickle cats can be, I don't really blame the product.

It is well made and I contacted the company who gave me a helpful and fast response. However, my cats don't use it. Have tried catnip, treats and other things, but they are really not interested in it. Too bad, it's a cool idea. If I were a cat I'd like it...
