I re-buy this item every so often as the cats wear them down. We have two of them, one for each cat, by the cats' favorite window. I'm just about to re-buy another one because a cat threw up on it, and it's beyond my willingness to attempt cleaning in between those accordion folds. :/ The nice thing is, it looks cool and geometrical, the cats love it, and it is not that big of an investment to replace when needed, considering its role in distracting the cats from the furniture. I also like that it's made of cardboard, a compostable material.
