Both my cats love this play mat and drag it all around the flat. I checked and it lasted a year and a day before the rods came out. I've ordered a new one and hope it lasts at least another year.
Exactly one week, to be precise... but the kittens really liked it. The ends of the arches should be reinforced with faux leather on the fabric side so the rods don’t wear through so quickly—then it would be more worth the price.
