It’s cardboard, not depleted uranium. How the fuck is it so dangerous I must dispose of it if damaged? The entire point of the product is for the furry psychopath that lives with me to damage it. It literally has no other reason to exist.

    These things actually only degrade as your cat uses them in America. Elsewhere the cardboard doesn’t mix with hair and fall off into little cardboard chunks that are attractive for small children to eat. Also, the structural integrity actually only gets stronger in other parts of the world, so you’re actually encouraged to step on it, as after some play and what might seem like structural damage to a piece of cardboard, it can actually support the weight of a fully grown adult.

      Doesn’t it?
      The small pieces the cat rips out fill the holes and make the structure stronger, until the cat can’t use it anymore, because it’s too strong for its claws
      Then we use it as bricks for our houses

      Haven’t you seen the cardboard quarries full of cats working their ass off?

      Edit: on a second thought, that’s also why de-clawing is unethical here, because it hinders our never ending demand on bricks…

        Ok, I’ll bite. So no warning labels? I understand that this is being interpreted as a result of litigation. If there’s not a warning label on a car seat or crib for your newborn… Honestly, why would I need to make sure there aren’t blankets in the crib or that the mattress isn’t too close to my space heater? If the mattress catches on fire or my child suffocates because they’re too small to rotate onto their back but their airway was obstructed by the comfy furry blankets I put into their crib - look, I just wanted them to be comfortable!

        I may have lost my baby, but there’s no point in suing anyone. I should have known better! There were no warning labels. I’ll just sleep it off - a life lost, but nobody to blame. It’s chill, all good!
