I purchased two rolls of this artificial turf mainly to provide my cats with a comfortable place to lounge when they're in the garden. We always supervise them when they're outside, but we wanted them to enjoy the garden with us. While I can't yet attest to the product's durability, I found it to look fairly natural and easy to lay out. We cut a few patches to place in areas where we know the cats like to hang out, and they immediately took to lounging on it and using the turf as a scratching pad. So far, there have been no issues withstanding my cats' claws, but it has only been a couple of weeks. The thickness is decent, but you'll definitely want to secure it with spikes since it is light enough to be blown around by the wind a bit, even at full size.
