Past the five-star spread: the double-sided head, the tired hand, the skin it can irritate, and the coats it was never meant for.

Five-star reviews will tell you this scratch board saves furniture. I am here for the details they skip: how long the cardboard really lasts, the ball that can fall off, the footprint it leaves on the floor, and which cats it simply won't satisfy.
Six weeks of daily walks with a strong puller in the rabbitgoo no-pull harness. Here is what the front clip actually does, how the fit holds up, and the part no harness can do for you.
