I tried it as well. Not only did it not work as far as nail trimming, but my cats were getting their claws stuck in it.
I wonder if people have sued the makers for permanent damage done to cats' claws.
I feel that Emery Cat is just another "As Seen On TV" scam.
If you want to control your cat's scratching, take him/her to the vet or groomer once a month and pay to have his/her nails cut. That is what I do, and it has become worry free for me.
You still should have a scratch pad because cats like it.
