We used some coupons to get one of the Target Treat Boutique Candy Shop cat scratchers this year and I just finished putting it together yesterday. So far, my cats like it, but they don't seem to love it the way they loved the previous one we had. It's much bigger, with a double-decker patio, so I'm wondering if I did something different in last year's box. Maybe I added catnip!
Pumpkin, my oldest yet most playful cat, wanted to play in the box it came in more than anything else. Sally and Gizmo, my other two, have lounged in it more than they've scratched so far. The box is bright and pretty, but I think last year's design was a bit more intricate. This one was also harder to put together and doesn't stay together as long. Last year's stayed together all year while this one's top likes to jostle loose fairly easily.
This model also cost much more than last year's. It's bigger, but not necessarily better. I think I preferred last year's model staying together and being assembled much more easily to this more expensive one, but I do think it's pretty.
