Fat Cat Big Mama's Scratch 'N Play Ramp Cat Toy

I have two cats, one is a prim and prissy 1 year old tabby, the other a robust hunting five month tortie. They both love this scratch pad with it’s tilted design, and with the catnip sprinkled over it, they choose the scratch pad over the reclining chair every time. After two months, I’m already buying a second because they’ve used it so much!

You've heard the saying, "The secret is in the sauce?" Well, this scratcher comes with a secret sauce. The catnip included appears to be the purest and most potent I've seen. Our 11-month-old cat went completely crazy when I opened the package and some spilled out. We put the "crazy sauce" away and yet she still loves the scratcher and butterfly. Worth the money spent.

My daughter’s cautious cat, which I have been watching for several weeks, will not touch this ramp toy. I had been hoping he would like it, but he prefers continuing to scratch my rugs.

When this was first delivered, my kitten LOVED going after the butterfly. He still isn't interested in the scratch pad part, even with the catnip in it. I'm hoping he will switch from my carpet to this toy as he gets older.

Replaces a very well used old one. Cats love to stretch when they scratch. This cardboard ramp allows them to stretch - they love the angle - and really dig into the exposed cardboard edge. I have two Ragdolls and it's often difficult to find something big enough for them. It comes with a little catnip to sprinkle on the cardboard. After several weeks, once they wear out one side, the cardboard can be flipped for phase 2. I don't need more than 2 a year. The first time you assemble one it can be a little confusing.

I have two of these and both of my cats use them frequently! Sometimes they even like to sleep on the scratcher and it’s adorable. My kitten likes to play with the little toy that is attached as well.

The cardboard frame for this is super flimsy. The scratcher ramps I got from Kong lasted years. I bought two of these ramps and they didn’t last even a few months.

Seemed a bit expensive but they use it everyday and it has held up amazingly well. Lasted a full year. They did make a couple of holes but continue to use it so I bought another one last month.

My cat loves her scratchers so I had high hopes for this. The scratcher part is fine, and my cat likes the catnip. It doesn't work well when it's set up as a ramp because it's not sturdy. The "ramp" is basically made of card stock and it's really too thin for a cat to stand on without it being wobbly, and my cat only weighs 8 pounds. I ended up folding it down so that it's flat against the floor and now it's just a normal scratcher. Also, my cat loved the little stuffed moth toy but it doesn't stay very well in the holes provided. Also, the base being made of coated card stock, it makes the whole thing slide around on the floor (mine is on a carpeted floor but it would slide around in any kind My cat loves her scratchers so I had high hopes for this.

This would be better if the ramp base were made of thicker cardboard, and if either it was just open on the bottom, or if the bottom were made of a non-coated material (so it's not slippery). … more

A winner we just got a second one. It lasts a good long time and really promotes cats not using the furniture to scratch! Will not disappoint.
