My cat is about the fussiest and most finicky on the planet, so when I read the Emery Cat reviews, I didn't think it would stand a chance in my household.
I knew that the big snob that my cat is, she'd most likely turn up her nose and walk away.
I was absolutely wrong! She loves it, uses it instead of the couch, and she now has trim, short claws that make life around my home a lot easier for everyone.
Does It Hurt the Cat? Any product that claims to "file" a cat's nails always scares me a little, and I didn't want my cat hurt, but the design of the Emery Cat is so unique that there is no way she can get hurt.
She loves getting on the product and spends hours at a time rolling around on it, scratching it, and playing with the attached toy.
Her nails are now shorter and dull, and she is a lot less likely to be seen attached to the living room curtains.
Do All Cats Like It? When you read the Emery Cat reviews, you might find a few people who say that their cats didn't take to it, but I don't see why not.
I have one of these for my two cats and they adore it.
I bought one for my sister and my cousin and their cats virtually live on theirs.
It might take a few minutes' worth of training to teach your cat how to play with their "toy" but once they learn it, they will know that it is theirs.
Will the Cats Ruin It? The one thing that I liked about the Emery Cat reviews is that they tell the truth about the product.
I found that after about six months, I needed to replace the cardboard scratching part of the product, but this was because my cat simply scratched it so much (instead of the furniture!).
This is a small price to pay and when you order the product online, they even give you a replacement free, so you don't have to worry about that, either.
