Funny story... Tango, one of our cats, has no problem scratching on sisal rope. Whiskey on the other hand, we've recently been having a problem with him wanting to scratch the carpet. I think he prefers to scratch and stretch horizontally... either way, this is such a cute and useful gift. As you can see, the cats love it. They'll be scratching tunes out all day and night. From Whiskey and Tango, thank you anon Reddit Santa!

*Update, I received a second package in the mail - which was a bit of a surprise! I haven't taken it home to the kitties just yet, but it's a large jar of catnip! Whiskey and Tango will be so excited .^ They love catnip so much that we typically mix some into some cooked rice or some salmon as a treat. Thanks for everything!
