Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was pretty worried at first because of the other reviews about this pad getting torn easily. But I've only had it for a few hours and my kitty LOVES it. I plopped him on after I took it out while he was nosing in curiously. He just laid down on it and didn't move for a while. I bought this because it's been a brutal first summer for him, especially since he was born in late autumn. He huddles near the front door of our apartment to get some of the draft under the door when the AC isn't on. I do cut my kitty's nails regularly so I'm hoping it holds up against his nails. He went a little nuts during play time and skidded around on it, and the pad seemed to do fine without any tearing. Also, when I apply pressure to it, it definitely is cooler than the floor and is a soft gelatinous material. If my 11 year old cat likes it too, I'll most likely buy another one for her as well. Attached in the picture is him on it, with a mouse toy for scale. I bought the Medium size one as my younger kitty is about 7lbs and has a small body frame. My older cat is almost 9lbs and of medium build, and I think the Medium size mat will fit them both just fine.
