She's picky about fabrics and usually avoids new blankets. First night I put this on the bed she curled right up. Been sleeping there every night since. And the best part? Her fur doesn't stick like it did on my old blanket. Just shake it off and it's clean. The waffle texture seems to keep her claws from pulling threads too. No snags at all after weeks of her kneading. She's happy, I'm comfortable because the blanket breathes so well, and my bed stays clean. Win win win.
