Catit Senses Self Groomer

My cat loved this thing before I even put the catnip inside it. She typically loves being brushed around her neck, so this was a great buy since she uses it at least a few times a day. Definitely worth the price since everything you need comes in the package—the scratcher, some catnip, and the adhesive tape stripes for the scratcher. It fits perfectly on any 90 degrees angled wall and the adhesive strips are really sticky! The only downsides of this wall scratcher are keeping it clean & removing it if you wish to adjust or stick to another corner wall. It's annoying to remove if you put the catnip inside the holder since the catnip flakes can easily fall out and get lost in the carpet, so I just typically leave it on the wall and keep it as is. You can remove the actual spikes without removing the whole thing, so the adhesives won't get ruined from on and off removals. My main concern with this product is with the strength of the adhesives. Let me warn you, they're VERY sticky! When I put the scratcher on the wall, it immediately stuck and stayed in place no matter how much my kitty rubbed her face on it. However, I quickly realized that I put the scratcher a bit too high up on the wall and had to readjust it, little did I realize, the adhesives were stuck on quite well and it pulled off a bit of my wall when I tried to remove it. Funny enough, even with drywall chunks on 2/4ths of the adhesive tapes, I was still able to stick this thing back on the wall without any problems and it still doesn't budge. So, be warned of trying to remove/adjust this thing after you stick it on, it may take out a part of your wall too.

My cat does not like normal cat things but I cannot rave about this product enough! It’s SO easy to set up and there’s even a spot for catnip! I used to leave brushes on the floor for my cat and this is absolutely something that should have been made years ago! I am very sure my cat has brushed himself more in the past month than I have brushed him in an entire year. Pros: it’s so cheap! Comes with catnip. Easiest install ever. Fairly easy to clean. Cat uses it daily. Also, I’ve noticed that he has been scratching the doorways significantly less since this purchase. Cons: the sticky pieces come off the wall after a little time. I would recommend command strips or something similar if this happens. I did move the device to a wooden box and it’s stayed on well for almost a week now. Also, I would be careful about the collars and recommend a breakaway collar or to remove the collar for a bit while the cat gets some groom time :) Overall, lives up to the hype! I’m most likely going to end up purchasing a second.

I have two cats, but I ordered this specifically for a cat that loves to cuddle and would like nothing more than to lay on your chest and rub her whiskers all over your chin all day long. I was hoping that this would be comforting to her to have while I am gone at work. It didn’t work for what I wanted it to, but she still likes it and I would buy it again. Installing this is easy, it can be stuck to the wall with sticky pads or screwed onto the wall. It comes with sticky pads but no screws. I originally had planned to use the included pads but after visualizing what would happen if it unstuck from the wall and re-stuck to my cats fur, I decided to just screw it onto the wall. I does show in the directions that you can attach it to either a corner or to flat wall, but I felt a corner would work best as it gives cats more area to move around and really rub up against it. I will note that when I was installing this, the backing cracked which doesn’t affect the functionality, but I feel I should mention it as it doesn’t seem very durable. The sides of this brush can be filled with catnip, but after trying it with two types of catnip, I think I’ll stick to just spraying it with liquid catnip. The side areas to hold the catnip are very small and for the less finely ground catnip that I tried initially, it was a huge pain to get it inside and just as annoying to remove. With the finely ground catnip, it wanted to all come out of the vents. Also, it didn’t really get either of my cats more excited to rub against it anyway. After leaving this for several days, I found that my hope to give my cat something to rub against when I’m gone during the day didn’t really work out like I wanted. She doesn’t use this during the day when I’m gone, but she will use it when I’m at home and nearby. All things considered, I would call that a win. Overall, at the current price of around $5, I would recommend this to most cat owners. It’s nice to have another option for your feline friends to rub up against, especially if they happen to be the extra cuddly type. I don’t feel that this is the most durable brush, but at this price, it doesn’t need to last forever for me to feel like I got my money’s worth. I’ll update my review if it breaks.

I really wanted to like these. In fact, I bought three right off the bat. We have three cats at the moment and they all love to have their faces brushed and to rub against cabinets, etc. for the self-face-massage. This item is made of two parts. There is a hard plastic outer shell that has nail holes, an outer rim, and several hard tall ribs for structural support (I assume). Then there is the soft inner part, which is the functional element, that has the long soft spikes for face rubbing. The inner part can be folded and manipulated in order to place it under the shell's outer rim, or to remove it from the shell. The problem I encountered occurred when attempting to affix the item to the corner of a cabinet/wall. The shell structure is molded in such a way that there is no space hide enough for the head of a hammer to land. This is especially the case right near the nail holes, which have been placed just inside the rim. I tried MacGuyvering a screwdriver handle to sit atop the nail heads while I landed the hammer on the driver handle. But the space was just too tight in between the rim and the structural ribs of the shell. Even though the nails went in, and the shell was affixed to the cabinet, it was at the cost of smashing out one of the ribs and a section of the rim. Because I lost a section of the rim during installation, the inner brush part doesn't quite stay in unless I bend a couple of other nails around the edge. (Note: the item does come with some tiny pieces of double sided tape, measuring about 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch each. Just plain insufficient to keep the brush up on the wall if a cat is using it day in and day out.) Long story short: I think I am just going to nail the brush part directly to the wall next time.

Originally I bought one of these from Petco for a trial run. I figured that it was worth a couple of bucks to test it out as a hairball preventative. What a great move!! As it turned out, the Cat-It was such a hit that I ordered another one! I had accidentally mounted the first one too low so I put the second one directly above it; that configuration works out well since some like to scrape their faces on the lower one and some rub their bodies on the upper one. Also, one of our cats (Penny) is soooo all about cat brushes that she'd shove her face all over the brushes my husband keeps in the remote control caddy (convenient for brushing when they jump on his lap), so hard and so long that we were scared she'd damage herself! Now she almost never does it, so win-win! Of our four cats, one of the long-hairs (Penny obviously!) LOVES it; my husband will hear what sounds like very aggressive clawing and he'll fuss, then discover it's Penny or Tiger (short-hair) scrubbing their face -- and he'll apologize! Based on our results, I bought two of these for my grandkitties last Christmas, and they were one of my kids' favorite gifts. They also have four cats: two really like them, one doesn't care for them, and one is absolutely crazy for them! (And luckily, he's the one with the most fur!) I also bought a pair of these for my mother for Mother's Day/ her birthday. Once again, a hit! Of her two cats, one likes them and one ignores them. So out of ten cats, two are OBSESSED with them; two really *really* like them ; three use them occasionally, and three really couldn't care less. My takeaway: ▪︎Well made ▪︎HIGH cat approval! ▪︎Great price and value ▪︎Removable / cleanable bristles are a definite plus! ▪︎Channels for catnip = 100% PAWESOME (just don't let the cat knock the brush out of your hand or they'll never get out of your way! haha!) ▪︎Corner positioning is excellent for "scrubbies" However ▪︎Like other reviews state, skip the adhesives and go for nails or screws; besides being more secure, they're easier to reposition, and when you remove them it's easier to repair the wall / etc... there are even nail holes already built in! Note: Having used both nails and screws, I would highly recommend screws; it's hard to get a hammer into those small spaces without destroying the unit (I had to use a countersink), and screws are more easily repositioned or removed ▪︎Pay attention to whether your groomer is facing the proper direction; the angles are different so you may get different results ▪︎My cats (and the other furkids) LOVE the rigid bristles, but not everyone's cat will; be prepared for that. I believe there are other, softer versions of this product, so do your research

I attached it to a cabinet that my cat liked to rub against and now he uses it every day! It’s sturdy and the adhesive strips hold it well. Great product!

Mardi Gras LOVES this wall scratcher thingee! It was on the corner of the kitchen entry. It was not secured very well, user error, and then was fine for a while then came off the wall. A piece that connects the scratcher to the actual wall attachment broke. Was able to put it back on for a while, and then the other side broke. Mardi loves this thing but is not aggressive with it. I kept walking into it so again user error. I love the fact that Mardi loves it so of course I had to get another one! He didn't use it or seem to like it right away, so give your kitty a chance to warm up to it, if ignored at first. We had some issues with it, but in general it safe, and Mardi loves it so the broken parts were not enough of a problem to not replace it with the same thing. But I tell ya I did order 2. One to put up now and one as a backup if something happens to the replacement. LOL

Both of my cats love these self-grooming brushes! I got the first ones at the pet store years a couple of years ago and they still look good-as-new. I ordered them more because they love them so much! They rub their faces all over the brushes and lean against them when they walk past to brush their sides. It's so cute! I hung them with those velcro command hooks and haven't had a problem with them falling off the wall. They're the perfect size, too. It's not like they blend into the wall, but I don't find them to be particularly unsightly. I think your cats need this product and my cats recommend them too!

Las consumidoras del producto lo han agradecido mucho. Recomiendo fijarlo a la pared con clavos pequeños. El adhesivo que viene incluido no es muy resistente. Excelente calidad. Llegó muy rápido. Fácil de instalar. Buena relación calidad/precio.

These are fantastic! They are such a great alternative to scratch posts. I have a Maine Coon and he doesn’t really use the scratch posts we have for him as he uses a scratch mat. He does groom himself but thought these would be really good as he loves rubbing himself against the posts around the house. These simply attach to the wall with the provided adhesive strips. I placed them on a corner of a wall. They’ve stuck really well. Cat loves them, used straight away. He seems to really enjoy rubbing his head against them. They seem very well made, very sturdy and lightweight. They feel durable. Grey design looks really smart. I wouldn’t say the groomer is sharp at all like some comments, the bristles aren’t soft they’re quite hard plastic. I don’t think there’s any concern for my cats safety using this product at all. They are suitably priced and will require less replacing than scratch posts. They also save a lot of space.

My 😻cat enjoys using it immensely, only drawback is that it should be screwed onto the wall as I don’t think the stickers😺last long (screws aren’t provided) comes with a bag of catnip. The front part clips off easily for cleaning. 😻I believe you can buy the Catit catnip separately but not sure if it’s available to buy in Australia yet! Highly recommended. *Tip: Rather than screwing it into wall (which is tricky) get some Scotch heavy duty Velcro tape, I got some of this and it’s very suitable, the groomer is now fixed very securely to the wall & won’t fall off. Hope that helps.

My two cats love these self-groomers, as do four other kitties that I have given them to. They are very easy to clean simply by sliding a comb, comb handle, or fork between the bristles, which are also easily removable for washing if desired. I like to stack two groomers one above the other so that kitties can get more full coverage and rub their bodies as well as their heads and throats and this works fantastically well. They stick remarkably well to painted walls provided the paint isn't so old, dirty, or cheap as to flake off and take the groomer down with it, in which case the screw mount is the better option, but my two cats use theirs constantly and all four groomers are still firmly attached to the walls years after installation. I'm giving one to another kitty for Christmas this year! Great product. I highly recommend.
