EMERY CAT: CAT PEDICURES MADE EASY
If you have an indoor cat that isn't de-clawed as does my son, you have to be able to live with the cat dander, be able to put up with the joys of the litter pan, and finally, you must be tolerant of kitty's ever present need to stretch their claws and scratch. My son's sofa is on it's umpteenth slipcover, the throw pillows look like they've been through the shredder, and the dining table legs are turning into toothpicks. He's unsuccessfully tried clipping their nails, shooing them away from furniture and even bought a variety of scratching posts. Nothing seem to satisfy his cat's scratching fetish.
So when I saw the EMERY CAT ad on an As Seen On TV commercial, I immediately thought of him. The EMERY CAT BOARD is an arched base that holds a honeycombed shaped emery coated surface. The surface is infused with catnip, so cats are drawn to it. When kitty is playing on the surface, the curved shape encourages the cat to stretch their claws and scratch the honeycombed emery surface thereby giving themselves a pedicure. It's supposed to save you untold misery in trying to trim your cat's claws and dollars in repairing the scratching damage done to your household.
In the commercial, the cat looks like it's in pure bliss while trimming his nails on the EMERY CAT. Now maybe he could get rid of the carpet coated totem pole in his family room that kitty doesn't use anyway. The EMERY CAT is small enough to tuck in a corner or out of sight under a table so he doesn't have to look at it all the time either.
After telling my son about it for weeks, he finally ordered. He just got his in a couple of days ago and is tickled pink with it. He says the cat goes nuts on the catnip emery board, and enjoys swatting the fuzzy toy that comes with it. Maybe he ordered in time to save the rest of his furniture from oblivion!
He was a little concerned about the construction of the base, but it's holding up so far. They included an extra package of catnip, so if and when his cat starts ignoring the Emery Cat, a catnip application to the board will be in order. I went over to his house to see exactly how it worked. The cat really looks like he's actually having fun pulling at the emery board. Because he's only using his front paws on the board, there still may be the issue of trimming the claws on the rear paws. Time will tell, but so far the Emery Cat looks to be working out as advertised.
