I have this exact model for my cat and he plays with it daily! The cardboard middle for scratching is holding up quite well too.

I've seen those in the store, but have avoided them. I wasn't really sure if Ember would play with the ball. Seeing how she uses her other scratchers, I figured she'd be more likely to try dumping the thing upside down to shake the ball out, and then being bigger than a regular scratcher, I would then probably trip over it. :rolleyes:

It worked great for the 1 out of 5 that would use it.
