Necoichi Cozy Cat Scratcher Bowl, 100% Recycled Paper, Chemical-Free Materials (Bowl (Oak), XL)

Purchased this as I prepared for my adopted my cat. At the same time, I bought a plush bed from another retail store. Kitty took to laying in this right away and had zero interested in the other bed, so the bowl gets major points for that. Ive noticed shes finally started doing some scratching on it when she goes to lie down, but Im not sure yet if this can actually replace the need for a scratching post. The cardboard interior seems to be holding up well so far, and its a nice construction. On the downside, for the premium I paid for this product, I figured that the outer rim was a layer of actual wood. Instead its a thin layer of paper - doesnt feel that different than wrapping paper. I dont have high hopes that itll last long term, especially if the cat gets a few scratches outside of the rim. All in all, I feel pretty good about the purchase, but maybe a little misled about the construction of the product. Update: 4/11/18 - Sadly my cat has stopped using the bowl as either a bed or a scratching surface as of a few months ago. Im not certain what triggered the change. Im going to try a cleaning session and see if it brings back her interest. Also, if you ever take the main bowl portion out to clean, be sure you dont push and separate it too much. It didnt take much before I realized this is made of a very dense spiral of cardboard, and getting it to come back together properly was a nightmare!

This looks like a nice concept and Im not sure if I got a defective unit or a used one but upon opening one of the seats fell apart and broke making it unusable. For almost $80 I expect something a bit more durable. I had an extremely hard time getting the unraveled and broken mess back into the box to send it back. If it had been more sturdy Im sure my cats would have liked it but it is not worth the stress level of what I just went through to try to replace and take a chance on a 2nd one being defective. Im putting in for a refund.

Car loves it. That’s the only thing that really matters because now she sleeps on my desk while I work from home.

My cat loves it. Uses it for the scritches and sleeps in it every night. Its classy looking, doesnt take up too much space, and is a great design. Very sturdy too. I have a large cat (12 lbs.) and he fits nicely. Overall, very satisifed with the product.

20# Hemingway fits perfectly and was using it as soon as it was assembled. Get the largest size if you have large breed cats. Easy to put together.

My cat have been in the bed since he got it. He absolutely love it. He is a big boy, 20 lbs. I give it 5 stars.

Great size and ergonomics

Its a really nice product, my baby just loves it

As soon as I took this out of the box, Hayden was all over it scratching and then plopped inside and took a nap. My other cat, Hendricks tried to overthrow the king in his bowl, but to no avail. Now they share it off an on. Great purchase. BTW my cats are ragdoll youngsters (about 1 year old) and about 13 pounds and barely fit, but love to sit in it anyway with furry skin spilling over the top. I am not sure what will happen in two years but right now it looks like a large cupcake with frosting overflowing when either one curls up in it to sleep. I wish they had a bigger size in this shape and style. Only 4 stars because it is all cardboard (although the frame does look like wood it is not) and is expensive for cardboard.

My cat loves it, but she uses it to chill out... soooo I need to buy another scratcher.
