Emery Cat Board Review
Have you seen the TV commercials for the Emery Cat Board? On the surface it sounds like a great product at a great price. I was so impressed I decided to promote this product on this site. Then I dug deeper.
I started hearing that people were being ripped off and charged double. I heard that customer service went from bad to nonexistent. I heard it injured cats, GRRRR! I decided to find out for myself.
I called the customer service number on the Emery Cat website. I waited, trimmed my nails, waited, got some coffee, waited, went to the bathroom, waited, and finally a woman came on the line. I told her of my concerns and she seemed flustered at best.
She told me that customers were mistakenly ordering two instead of one. This meant they were being charged for two orders and received four Emory Boards instead of two. This sounded plausible. Then she mentioned some dollar amounts that just didn’t add up. I got a bad vibe.
I Googled Emery Cat Complaints and found this PAGE among others. Here’s the gist of it:
- Order one, not two
- Expect to be overcharged for shipping
- If you have to return “extra” items postage is non-refundable
- Sales tax is not refunded on returns
- Must pay extra to get the product base
- Cat’s claws can become stuck and ripped out
Doesn’t sound good does it? I’ve removed my Emery Cat ad and ended my association with the company. My advice is simple: DON’T BUY EMERY CAT! Yes, the preceding statement is strongly worded. These things might HURTÂ YOUR CATS. ‘Nuff said.
Let’s talk Cat Scratchers. Don’t get a carpet covered cat scratcher. Why? Because you’ll be training your cat to scratch on the carpet. We don’t want that, do we?
Get a scratcher that’s covered with Sisal Rope. This is more in tune with a cat’s instinctive natural environment. It feels right to them. They like it. They use it. Both of you are happy. Everybody wins.
You can get a good quality, inexpensive Sisal covered scratcher Here. This scratcher comes with two hanging toys, and a catnip station for your cat’s enjoyment. The base is sturdy, it comes from Amazon, a company you can trust, and it’s on sale. What are you waiting for?
Best,
P.S. If you don’t provide your cats with what they need, they’ll provide you with behavior you don’t want. Get them a Sisal Cat Scratcher. You’ll both be glad you did.
