Emery Cat Claw Trimmer Review

All you feline fans, listen up! The as seen on TV product Emery Cat Board claims to help out with keeping your cat’s nails trimmed while giving your cat some fun; two things that usually don’t mix. We wanted to see just how well the Emery Cat Board worked, so we took it to the experts: Trouble and Jake at the Mesa County Animal Services.

Director Penny McCarty spoke on their be half and helped out with the test. “We have seen them use it,” she said. After reading the directions, it was time to give it a try. But cats are interesting creatures and some things just have to be on their own terms, so we gave the two over the weekend to get acquainted with the product.

“From what we saw in that short time, I think that it is a tool that could be effective for cat owners,” said McCarty.

The product is easy to use, coming with catnip to entice your feline, along with a very popular toy. “That draws them over there and then they realize that that feels good and it lets them scratch,” said McCarty.

The boards can be traded out too, after your cat gets some good scratches in, or naps, depending on the time of day.

McCarty also believes the emery board is the way to go to trim those nails. Although it is not a quick fix, but in some time it will do the trick. “What it’s going for is an ongoing process, and what it’s going for, I honestly think it could work for that,” said McCarty.

Trouble and Jake agree. They seemed to like board, especially the perks that come with it, like the catnip and toy. So after spending some time with Emery Cat Board, and seeing just how well it works, McCarty rates it?

“I’d probably give it a four. Yes, I think it worked pretty well,” she said.

With a price tag of just under $20.00, the cat scratcher seems like a small price to pay for your favorite feline’s health and happiness.  ( Ashley Soukup - KREXTV )

Emery Cat Scracther

Emery Cat The wildly popular Emery Cat is getting a marketing boost. I'm not even sure that Emery Cat needed any help because I the product everywhere! Allstar Products Group is behind the new campaign which I expect to see starting next week during National Pet Week. One thing I have learned since I became addicted to As Seen On TV items, and their silly commercials, is that people love to buy stuff for their pets. The As Seen On TV pets market is loaded with products and they keep on coming. Just this year alone we've seen the Dog-E-Minder, Bark Off, Snuggie for Dogs and the list goes on and on. So it's no surprise that Emery Cat is a huge hit and I expect it they'll be selling them by the truck load. I've heard complaints regarding over charging on the official Emery Cat website, but I've also read in forums that the problem was addressed and corrected. But, when ordering any product online pay attention to what you are doing. The Emery Cat is a buy one get one free offer so a lot of people probably check off 2 instead of 1 on the order form. That's the most likely source of the problem so be careful. I happen to think the Emery Cat is great for any cat who will actually use it. Some cats take to it immediately because of the catnip infused surface, but others don't seem to care. If your cat is one who is drawn to the Emery Cat, then you'll be happy with awesome little scratching board.

The Emery Cat is already enjoying massive popularity with it's campy As Seen On TV commercial and the buzz the product has been creating online for months now. Sales are impressive, but with All Star's participation we might be looking at the product of the year!

As Emery Cat Stratching Board

So the Emery Cat scratching board arrived in just over two weeks and as soon as I opened it and layed it out for the cats they went nuts. It’s obvious to me that they went after the cat nip, but anything that would train my adult cats to scratch in a specific place was fine with me. I knew the lure of cat nip would eventually fade, but my hope was that my cats would be fully accustomed to the Emery Cat Scratching Board by then. Neither of my cats cared much for the little fluffy toy which is attached to the scratching board. They just rolled around and scratched on the scratching surface, and did so quite a bit. I think the Emery Cat inspired them to stretch and scratch more than they would naturally but the product got their attention.

I do believe that my cats’ claws have been manicured and remain dull compared to their condition prior to their new scratching post. My Emery Cat Review has to be a positive one because my cats seem to like it, I don’t have to clip their claws which saves me money at the vet, and I haven’t noticed any new damage to my furniture or door frames. However, I must be honest and say that I didn’t buy any new furniture and never really measured the full extent of the damage before I bought my Emery Cat.

Emery Cat Reviews

Emery Cat Ezine Blog




Emery Cat is yet another As Seen On TV product which has created a lot of buzz. My contention was that the sound effects in the commercial was what was making this product so popular, but when I finally figured out what it was for, the Emery Cat made a lot of sense to me.

As with most As Seen TV products, the beauty is in the fact that each product is designed to provide a simple solution to a simple problem. It's the "I could of thought of that" which keeps television viewers so intrigued. The Emery Cat certainly falls into this category. Any cat owner knows what I'm talking about. Cats continually scratch and claw at the furniture and their owners.

Nobody will argue that it isn't in a cat's nature to stretch and scratch their claws but there has to be a way to compel your cat to do their scratching in the appropriate places. Until now, cat owners dealt with the problem using scratching posts or even going as far as having their cat's claws removed. The later was not an option for me because I want my cats to come and go as they please and being clawless leaves them unable to defend themselves outside the home. Perhaps even a little more selfish is the fact that as long as I have "outdoor" cats, I don't have to clean a litter box.

I too have tried the scratching posts but to no avail. First, my two cats don't really seem interested in them. I've even got some of those multi-level cool ones but they never really took to them. In fact, there where several times I noticed my cats sniffing around the scratching post and then heading to the sofa to tear it up. So my posts usually end up in the guest room, where the cats never go anyway, and collect dust. They're not exactly elegant furnishings which match the decor of most living rooms. But, I suppose most cat owners give them a try.

So the Emery Cat became a very appealing idea, provided that it would work. The Emery Cat is nothing more than an arched scratching board infused with cat nip. Or at least it seemed so. The beauty of it is that the design and fabric of the scratching surface actually files down the cat's claws so ultimately if your cat takes a swipe at you, or your couch, their claws won't be as sharp and cause as much damage. This is unlike any scratching post I have seen before.

When I ordered Emery Cat I paid $19.99 plus $7.95 shipping and handling. I know what you're thinking, "That's a lot for shipping", but that seems to be the game in the As Seen on TV world. I just include the shipping in the price of the item and consider that I paid about $28.00 for my Emery Cat. That's not expensive compared to the scratching posts you see in pet stores.

So the Emery Cat scratching board arrived in just over two weeks and as soon as I opened it and layed it out for the cats they went nuts. It's obvious to me that they went after the cat nip, but anything that would train my adult cats to scratch in a specific place was fine with me. I knew the lure of cat nip would eventually fade, but my hope was that my cats would be fully accustomed to the Emery Cat by then. Neither of my cats cared much for the little fluffy toy which is attached to the scratching board. They just rolled around and scratched on the scratching surface, and did so quite a bit. I think the Emery Cat inspired them to stretch and scratch more than they would naturally but the product got their attention.

I do believe that my cats' claws have been manicured and remain dull compared to their condition prior to their new scratching post. My Emery Cat Review has to be a positive one because my cats seem to like it, I don't have to clip their claws which saves me money at the vet, and I haven't noticed any new damage to my furniture or door frames. However, I must be honest and say that I didn't buy any new furniture and never really measured the full extent of the damage before I bought my Emery Cat.

All I know is that my cats are using their new scratching board a lot more than they have ever used a normal scratching post in the past. I'm happy with my purchase with only one complaint. I have larger cats and feel that the product could be a bit more sturdy. I have seen an upgrade offer to a deluxe model and perhaps I should have bitten the bullet and gone with that, but I'm generally pleased so far.

Emery Cat Scratcher Review

When I first saw the Emery Cat commercial I did nothing more than laugh because the sound effects were so funny. I never even really noticed the product or what it was intended to do. I just saw some cats running around and scratching stuff.

As the product began to catch and the commercial was running more and more it hit me that I needed the Emery Cat. Well, I needed something like the Emery Cat because I was having some issues with my cats. Like most cat owners my furniture had taken a beating. It's natural for cats to scratch and stretch and most seem drawn to furniture because the upholstery allows them to dig in and enjoy themselves.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to invest in really ugly scratching posts that don't seem to work. It seems that the cats would like the carpet covered posts but I've never known anyone who really claims to have had much success. My cats never took to their scratching posts no matter what I tried. Since the ones I happen to find were pretty unsightly I had to keep them in back rooms where I thought the cats would hang out but they didn't go for it. My cats, even though fiercely independent, tend to go where the action is and that means the living room. The scratching post have been too big and ugly to have in the living room so I pretty much gave up.

So the Emery Cat offered a solution. First, it's small so it won't take up precious indoor real estate. Next, this honeycomb design they mention for the scratching surface will actually file their claws down. I can't tell you how cool this is. I've tried to trim their claws myself and it's been a bit of a bloody painful mess for all of us. I don't take my cats for grooming so the only time they get their claws trimmed is at the vet and it's pricey. So if the cats like the Emery Cat and use it enough to file their claws down, then they will do less damage to the furniture if they still decide they can't live without it. I couldn't resist the upside, so I decided to buy Emery Cat.

To Buy Emery Cat was a total of just under $28 with the shipping and handling and even though I don't understand shipping and handling, the Emery Cat was cheaper than any scratching post I had seen in the pet store. I have read some stories about shipping costs but just don't accept bonus offers and you should be fine. Anyway, It took less than two weeks to arrive and I was ready to test it out.

I had forgotten that it was infused with cat nip and that's probably the most brilliant part. My cats took to it immediately. At first they rolled around on it but soon learn to stretch and scratch. I felt the scratching board was a little flimsy but it seemed to support the cats and it didn't move much when they were in the attack mode.

They didn't care much for the little furry toy attached to the Emery Cat but I certainly didn't care. My concern was my furniture and would the Emery Cat work. To my surprise, I found my cats going back to the Emery Cat often. I believe the cat nip lured them in and help them develop the habit of using Emery Cat as their scratching board instead of the furniture.

I cannot really substantiate if their claws are much shorter but I can say they are less interested in my couch and door frames. They still spend a few moments stretching out at the couch but they don't seem to dig the claws in as much. When they do, they seem do stay for a shorter period of time. It's almost like they are saying "been there, done that" and that's exactly what I needed.

My review of the Emery Cat is a good one. It's seemed to work for me, at least for now. I don't know if you can find Emery Cat in stores but it's readily available online if you want to try it out. As with any product, I would read reviews and testimonials before you buy. Look for the positives and negatives from people who've tried it out before.
