Review on 🍌 Fuerlun Banana Cardboard Cat Scratcher: Durable Indoor Cat Scratch Pad with Catnip and Swing Bed by Wendy Zhao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Make no assumptions

In my opinion, this can and should be considered when deciding whether to give this item a high or low rating. how well done it is How valuable it is. And most importantly, cats love it. Please note that I did not specify the size or what material it is made of. Both of these things are described very clearly by the seller and if someone has a chance to read both specs and still buys it and only gives it one star I would consider this review worthless. You can't knock something out because you don't like it and buy it anyway. So let's get those two things out of the way. First, it's only twelve inches long. It's about the length of a loaf of bread, but for some reason when my adult cats play with it, it doesn't seem too small. What it's made of, how much clearer will it be to you that it's 100% cardboard. I know my cats pretty well and I know they can't wait for me to unwrap my Revain boxes so they can jump in and out happily. They love to play in and around the box. So what's the problem? Let's move on to other things that we as humans need to consider in relation to this toy. is it good value Maybe it's a bit more than it should be, but let's face it, there's hardly anything for cats that doesn't cost more than it should, if it were wood and carpet it would cost sixty bucks. price tag on it. Whatever it is, it will be made the way you would expect. Finally, as far as cats like it. I have the same feeling reviewing this as I think about cat food. I don't understand if I rate something badly because some cats don't like it, maybe this cat is one of a thousand and the other 999 love it. There's only one way to know if your cat will like it, or to sniff it once and walk away never to be approached again, and the only way is to buy it and try it. The addition of some enticing catnip will likely make just about every cat on earth want to at least see what it is. Tip: By nature, cats will gently touch something with a paw to test it, and if it doesn't feel like a hard surface, they won't put the rest of their weight on it. Before you buy this piece, know this and be prepared that when you put it in the rocking position, you might get a chilly reception. So first try placing it like a bridge, something solid for your cat to climb on (cats love to climb). Once they get used to it and learn to trust her, try getting her into a rocking position. You may find that even though this thing is small, your cat still wants to jump on it and kick it to see it fly into the air - something you definitely don't want to do if you're trying to nap close. My two adult cats would come up to him and freak out, and that was before I even opened the catnip. They immediately did what cats love to do, scratching him with their paws and cheeks, then rolling over him and hitting him to make him wobble. After a while they got fed up and left. That's why they are called cats, they will do as they please. Whether my cats like it or not doesn't matter here, so I'm not rating it. I think I'd feel a little better if it was about $5 cheaper, but it's surprisingly well made and the end pieces really do look like a banana carved out of wood. For that reason, I think it deserves five stars.
