Pros: Cats love it. Cons: You can go through the refills quickly.
We bought one of these Blitz TurboScratcher toys for our cats a few years ago and it was an instant hit. It was such a hit that we ended up buying another one so the cats wouldn't fight over it.
Pros: All 16 cats LOVE it, toy and scratching post in one, Cons: none

The first time I really discovered the Blitz Turboscratcher was on a visit to my friends’ apartment. I had seen it in pet stores before but that evening was the first time I really saw it in action. My friends kept the scratcher in their living...

Turboscratcher
I got my Turboscratcher while I was fostering a couple of cats for the Humane Society. The cats’ original owner brought a few of their toys to me so they would be entertained while temporarily housed at my place. Well, the cats...

My cat, Shimmer, is a very aggressive scratcher, and I chose this product in an attempt to reduce the amount of scratching he did on my furniture. In addition to this product, I purchased a traditional vertical scratching post and another horizontal...

When my oldest son adopted a new kitten, we found ourselves needing supplies. Along with the essentials such as food, litter, and litter box, we needed some extras. I went to the AOL freebie board for help and sure enough there was a Pets.Com coupon...
Pros: Great toy/scratcher combo your cat will not tire of Cons: Will require you to clean up pieces of shred cardboard every now and then
Let me start off by saying that declawing my kitty was never an option. I'm a firm believer that "paws come with claws". All too often people resort to declawing their cats because they have been unsuccessful in getting kitty to use a...

From the first day we brought Vegas (my cat) home we trained him to use a scratching posted. He used to get treats every time he used it, so he used it quite frequently. Then my husband decided that was old and taught him to roll over for treats....
Pros: Cat plays with the ball daily Cons: Cat won't scratch the center
I purchased the Turbo Scratcher for my cat three weeks ago and it has become one of his favorite toys. It took a few days for him to warm up to it, but I helped him along by using all of the included catnip. I really wanted to get him a toy that he...
