Is this product review positive? Title: Whole lot of nothing Review: As much as I love dogs, this book was almost painful to get through. The description of the dogs' behavior was rather unscientific, and the author's ego was a distateful presence on each page. For a much more interesting read, check out "The dog who loved too much" by Nicholas Dodman. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Should be called "A portrait of the irresponsible pet owner" Review: Absolutely nothing new here. Really, what could you learn from someone who thinks it is fascinating to watch her supposedly beloved dog cross the Alewife Parkway in Cambridge -- repeatedly! As she revels in allowing her "dogs to be dogs" all I could think about was: imagine being her neighbor! (which she does, in fact, imply is pure hell). Maybe if she had learned something interesting from her supposed research you could argue it was worthwhile, although I personally have trouble with the idea of potentially sacrificing great dogs to senseless research. Everything she finds enlightening has already been (better) researched and basically comes straight out of wolf research. Send in the humane society (the dog catcher has already called -- several times)! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I Paid for a Review? Review: This read like promotional material from the publisher. It was just a 5-page summary (4 pages if you discount the cover) of the contents of the book with very little outside insight. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Not What I Thought Review: This book came up in a search for Catherine Cookson in Kindle items. THIS IS NOT A CATHERINE COOKSON Book. This book was rather juvenile. Remember that if you are getting items for your kindle that you can sample the book before buying. I wish I had known that before I wasted my money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Please don't get fooled like I did. Review: After waiting patiently for the release of this new edition of a game I truly used to cherish and tell all of my friends about, this is the worst (...) letdown I have experienced since my mother died. And all I have to ask is "Why in the heck would Sid have done this to us?" Good people, if you want to waste you time tinkering with an aggravating headache, fork out (money) on Civilization 3. Otherwise, I'd strongly advise keeping your investments in your 401 accounts. With sincerity and disappointment; Jessica Williams Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: The Recent Trend... Review: The recent trend seems to be that almost every developer feels his product can walk on water and regardless of bugs or gameplay issues... releases it. This product is no exception... in fact it helps cement the trend into almost a rule. Perhaps next year this game, after being patched and repatched, will live up to 1% of the hype. Civilazation 3 from "The Great Sid Meier", bah... perhaps when he was innovative and spent time on his products! This game is nothing but a testament to his ego and disdain for his customers. Avoid this product like the plague... if you want a good CIV play experience pickup CIV II on discount... you'll wish you paid more for it, because it is what this game should have been. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Civ III - Civ I with better graphics, ho hum Review: I couldn't wait to get my copy of CIV III. To listen to the hype I was sure this was gonig to be a great game. I loved CIV II and surely this was going to be even better.What a disappointment. The ONLY thing neat about the game is the diplomacy and even that drives me nuts sometimes. We're back to individual units in combat so there's no real benefit in having a large force. Don't even think about being peaceful in the begining of the game. The only way I do well is to attack attack attack. The combat system doesn't seem balance either. (see all the other negative reviews for why, my comments would just be a repeat of theirs.)I wish I could get my money back. Definately a game that will collect dust soon as I (strangely enough) go back to playing CIV II. They may have fooled us into thinking this was going to be a great upgrade/next version but I hope when CIV IV comes out, we have learned our lesson from CIV III and just walk away. (...) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The book is okay. Review: The book gives you the inside look into human resources-roles,certification, evolution of hr, and the practice. This bookis rather thin for its price and one part of the book that I really don't like is it tells you alot of info, but doesn'texplain why. Also, there is no info on graduate school forthe human resources program. I'm a career changer from technology and I'm still confused at the end of the book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: bleeding orange Review: This whole cd jams! Bleeding Orange is my favorite song on here. The song has tight beat and the lyrics are about being the a regular joe trying to move up the in the world and the sruggels of making it in the world, but the song is very inspirational at the same time. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Hmmmm....Is this....SNAPCASE? Review: What can I say about this album? I think the only real comment I can give to people interested in buying this album is that, if you liked Progression Through Unlearning, It doesn't mean you will like their new album. The sharp edges that PTU offered have been ground down to leave what sounds like, hardcore gone commercial? If your a die-hard snapcase fan, you'll like it though. And I must admit it does have some pretty sick ryths in it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I thought Snapcase was a hardcore band Review: Snapcase went mainstream with this album, no more hardcore. If you are a hardcore listener, don't bother wasting your time. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Very nice stuff. Review: This is a very cool CD. I like it alot. Some good hardcore rock beats. The vocals on this CD are good and you can understand almost every word on the entire CD. The music is good. More guitar effects than your average hardcore band. They have some very good stuff to say in their lyrics. The song Typecast Modulator states 'we want to challenge our intellect.' It is very thought out well based, musically sound hardcore. And as my friend pointed out when I showed him the CD,"These are normals guys!" No hair here, just good rock. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Fear Not Snapcase Fans Review: This album is so good. Those who are Snapcase fans already and have heard early interviews where the band talks about change in music dont worry! He doesn't try to sing on this album. If anything their guitars don't sound as metallic as previous albums and they put more of an emphasis on emoting feelings through the guitar workmanship. But borrowing from the vocal stylings of the Refused for a song, they've only learned to perfect the sound and emotion and lifestyle that is known as Snapcase. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Pure Genius Review: When I bought this CD, I was expecting alot. Progression Through Unlearning is one of my favorite CD's, and I was a little skeptical about Designs being able to achieve such greatness. But I was wrong to be a skeptic, as this is truly a great CD..I bought it on Tuesday and haven't stopped listening to it since. It gets better and better every time I listen to it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Terrible pull-toy Review: The other reviewers are completely correct....cute toy, cute idea, but does not work. The animals separate and tip over with the slightest pull of the string -- which does not work at all for a toddler. I would like to say to whoever designed this "What were you thinking??!". To anyone looking for a pull-toy - look around for something else! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Waste of Money Review: I agree with the previous review. The animals separate when you try to pull them along. We can keep them connected for a short while if we are exceedingly careful. Of course, our baby/toddler does not have the finesse which this toy requires. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't Waste Your Money Review: This is a cute toy but does not serve its main purpose. When my son pulls on the toy all the carts separate and the front cart tips off its wheels consistantly. Sometimes getting one of the less expensive choices is not a good one! Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Wholly Satisfying Performance of Bruckner's Seventh Review: This was my third or fourth exposure to a Bruckner symphony back when this was originally released in the mid-'80s to much critical acclaim. It's certainly more expansive than Klemperer/Philharmonia's Seventh on EMI, my earlier introduction to the work, and has a wonderful sense of balance in both structure and execution. Tempos aren't allowed to veer to seeming extremes from a generally deliberate and wholly satisfying median. Harmonies and counterpoints are melded well to make for a lucid, firmly organic musical journey that neither sags nor shockingly stampedes. The second movement Adagio, in my opinion the heart of this work, is sublimely rendered. The third movement Scherzo swells and ebbs with firm intensity; dynamic climaxes convey appropriate drama and sonic heft. The digital recording is bright, vivid, spacious, and not at all glary. Was I "moved" by this performance? Yes, I was. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Thank you for the full price, Decca ! Review: The one above shown is not a rating of the performance , which has been widely praised for both interpretation and sound, but it's a rating of Decca' behavior. This is a reissue of a mid-80's release with an updated, glossy booklet, astutely echoingthe graphics of the recent 6th with the Concertgebouw ! Even worse, it was already re-issued in the budget series Eclipse (around 7 $!) AND with a Mahler fill-up. That series has widely circulated in Europe but I have to admit that I don't know if it was ever issued in the US. Still, if this is an example of the label policies now that Decca has been taken over by Universal Music, well, bad times are coming. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Absolute must for newbies Review: What more is there to say. I decided a year ago that I wanted to start a webdesign / web programming business, and quickly came across the need to understand PHP and MySQL. Right now, I feel confident enough to actually start building applications or using opensource scripts that I adapt myself.Larry takes a clean and crisp approach to teaching you from scratch up to an adequate level. And the accompanying website is GREAT!!! The forum is frequented by other readers and the man himself, so if you ever got stuck you need not worry. Buy this book if you're serious about learning PHP and (in a lesser degree, but still quite useful) MySQL. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good introduction to PHP and MySQL Review: Very clear and consise and great examples that you can easily translate to work you're doing.I already have half a dozen ideas for some sites I'm working on now.One minor (actually major) quibble. Could we have at least used current HTML standards in the examples in the book? I mean tables have been depreciated for at least a couple of years now... Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Out of Date. Wait for next edition Review: Some of the code in this book no longer works with newer versions of PHP. Also, it doesn't cover the object oriented additions in PHP 5. Wait until these are added before buying this book. Answer:

I personally think it's good for begginers but still there are some functions that aren't explaind that well. there are some moments when you can find yourself frustrated.also some parts are too summarized and some too expanded.I won't recommend it so much. You should buy anotherbook that edited better. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Outdated! - Covers PHP 3 & 4 only Review: It's no surprise that this book ahs been offered in the 'Gold Box', a place where amazon.com usually tries to sell of shelf warmers such as this book.This edition of 'PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Web Sites" only covers the previous versions of PHP, namely version 3 and 4. However version 5 has already been released and thus the book is no longer up-to-date. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: great book Review: This book is well worth the money. It does a great job of covering the use of php, mysql, and web deisgn in general. I knew a little bit before starting with this but it has increased my knowledge greatly. I only noticed a couple of typos in the code, nothing I coudn't figure out in a couple of minutes. If you can only buy one book, this is it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best PHP ever Review: I read the first 40 pages of the first book on PHP (by Larry Ullman) and was intrigued. I was on the path of ASP at the time and found the author's descriptions very enticing. Later on, I switched server support and became a devout PHP user. I bought this book and have not found a single chapter dry. I have tried about 20 different paths for learning PHP and this book is truly an eye opener. It's very straight forward. I guess it hit me right at the correct time. I already know OOP and a little bit of the PHP basics. This is where you, as new student, should also be. If you know hard languages like Java or C++, then this book will be a breeze. I suggest reading this first, then moving on to another advanced afterwards. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Lots of pages, low on advanced content. Review: This is a huge book, approximately 665 pages, however it is quite hard to find anything of help in it. It's great if you are going to go through and do all of the examples, I'm sure you would learn something from it, but it's terrible when you want a quick answer, or you really need to know the details on something. I frequently find myself searching the net instead of this book because it is huge and there is no good way to find the answers. Additionally, when you do find the answers it is just a continuation of a previous example and does not explain in depth on how to use the various functions and such.In conclusion, it's probably just fine if you are a student and want to go page by page and read the book and learn by examples. But it's terrible as a quick reference, and for more advanced users needing in-depth information you should look elsewhere. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Hands down best book on the shelf Review: If you aren't already somewhat familiar with PHP and MySQL, you should start with Larry's other two books, then bring your knowledge of PHP and MySQL and learn how to integrate them for your applications.I have read and tried to follow dozens of books on the subjects and Ullman's stand head and shoulders above the rest because of the methodical, step by step teaching method he uses.If you don't have at least a working knowledge of HTML, you need to get it before starting any of the three books. I don't recommend Elizabeth Castro's HTML compared to some of the other HTML texts I have used.Good Luck on your idea! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: All Good Except for the MySQL chapters Review: I'm currently using this book to learn PHP and MySQL. All was well until I reached the MySQL chapters. I initially thought I was just dumb as a brick, because I just wasn't grasping the stuff in the Advanced MySQL chapter. However, after doing a bit of Googling, my thoughts have changed a bit. I wasn't grasping the material because the author does a HORRIBLE job of explaining things about MySQL, particularly the more complicated JOINs. I found a few MySQL JOIN overviews via Google, and everything was crystal clear.So, PHP-wise, I think it's great. The MySQL chapters need some work though. It's still a good book, but have Google nearby during those chapters. Answer:
Yes

Review: A very good cd for people requiring a sound sense of solitude.Deva Premal has a great voice.Can be a bit tedious at times but the standout track-Gaytri Mantra-makes it great for meditation.Although I enjoyed this cd,I'd have to say it is an acquired taste.

Thanks Amazon, for finally listing it. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Pure and soothing peace Review: The Essence by Deva Premal is beautiful, warm and soothing. Her pure voice brings peace. The fact that it is not in English is good since this allows the music to communicate on a more fundamental level without the mind springing into action, with its self-talk and mental noise, to block your perception and awareness.NamasteSampoSpiritual Stepping Stones- Kindle Edition.Spiritual Stepping Stones- Paperback Edition.

Not only is her music wonderfully soothing, (and the underlying drum beats sensually stirring), but her voice is very beautiful.I use this music, combined with gentle, loving massage, while lying in front of the fireplace, to soothe my lover's wearniess after a long, stress-filled day. The music is very calming, the stress just pours away. It is ethereal. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: DISAPPOINTMENT Review: I had looked forward to reading the book...but it turned-out to be quite a disappointment. Each chapter read like an incomplete thought. In the middle of the book Mr. Matthews discusses his time in the Peace Corps and his family...NOTHING FLOWED. I felt cheated and am certain the author is capable of much more...I would not recommend the book to anyone. I would also suggest that the publication be proofread prior to publication...note page 32, second paragraph, the word "In" should read "It." I am a daily viewer of Hardball... Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: As deep as a puddle Review: I'd always enjoyed Matthews via his column or appearances on the McLaughlin show...this book however is fluff. After the fine biography he put forth in Kennedy & Nixon Matthews obviously took note of the loot O'Reilly pulled in and figured to get in on it. His chapters are extremely short and the analysis the same. Saying nothing at all new about either Al Gore or Bill Clinton, I found his pages on his childhood actually more interesting. Sad to say that was merely because the other chapters were so bad. A book that adds nothing to any debate goin on anywhere. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: He can do better than this... Review: I've been watching Matthews since early '99, and really appreciate his show. He keeps things moving, cuts straight to tough questions, appreciates how personal and social psychology have a major role to play in politics, deftly mixes humor with intense conversation, and is entirely intolerant of talking points.Unfortunately, this book contains almost none of that personality.Instead, Chris has produced a quick read of generally unprovocative ideas. Each chapter ends with, "Let me tell you what I really think...". So, what, everything before the finale was just baloney? What if he started each chapter with what he really thinks, and then spent the subsequent pages elaborating and deepening those ideas.Frankly, the whole thing smacks of a TV tie-in.I wouldn't dismiss Matthews outright -- his book Hardball is a real gem (read it, if you haven't), and the show still gets interesting here and there.But this book is thin on insight, and long on fancy footwork. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: As lively as the "Hardball" program Review: This is a good quick read in which Chris Matthews expands beyond some of the things you know about him from his "Hardball" show, and talks a little bit more about today's political events. Like so many other books, it probably would have been better had he been able to wait a few months more to go more in depth about the September 11 terrorist attacks, but he still touches on them, and how they changed the Bush presidency. Chris Matthews is fair. He's as opinionated, but not as bombastic as Bill O'Reilly. True, he also interrupts his guests a lot, but this book will tell you why. This book also sheds light on the media bias that Bernie Goldberg discusses in his book. Some of the things Matthews says in this book repeat what Goldberg says, without the appearance of axe-grinding. The only complaint, I wish this book were longer! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: here's what i REALLY think Review: When Chris Matthews wants to tell me what he really thinks, it makes me think he hasn't been telling what he really thought before, or else, why write a book about it. It makes me think I've been duped......It's sort of like starting a sentence, "To be honest...," because if you are honest all the time you don't need to preface what you say by starting "to be honest." Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: What was I thinking Review: The title of the book is Let Me Tell You What I Really Think. After reading this book you will know for sure what you always suspected. Chris Matthews doesn't think. He has strung together a whole bunch of homilies, many of them contradictory. He projects his own biases to the population at large. He hates Gore, so everybody hates Gore, which is why he lost. Trouble is Gore won. He won with a bigger margin than Kennedy over Nixon and Nixon over Humprey.This book is strictly for Hate Radio listeners who think Rush Limbaugh is an intellectual.What was I thinking buying this book? Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Shallow Review: This book confirms that Chris Matthews is shallow, just like his estimation of the American public. Wasted my time on a hollow book by a below average writer. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good book Great News Reporter Review: I liked the way Mr. Matthews presents his views and insight on political topics of today and yesteryear. The only thing I would change would be the section on his time in the peace corps. While it is interesting I would sooner hear more of his views on the Mid-East, China, etc....All in all a great read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I Wish You Hadn't Review: I always wondered where this entertaining, though elusive pundit really stood on issues. After reading his book, I wish I hadn't. I liken the experience to a big, ripe apple that tastes like water and chemicals once you've actually taken a bite.Chris Matthews is everything Americans seem to be drawn to -- sharp, attractive, exhilarating -- with nothing inside. Though, refreshingly free from ideological rhetoric (which is what attracted me to him in the first place), I found nothing more than a thoughtless nationalism, based on sentimental reverie.Chris Matthews: just another baby boomer, moved by his times, then watered down to nothing by the years that followed. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This is not a worthy follow up to Hardball Review: If I only cared. My brother bought me this autographed book for my 27th birthday. Like him, I was looking forward to a follow up to Hardball, which I had thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, this book just rambled on listing various people and subjects with some background and then what he really thinks about them. Whew, now I can go on with my life, I know what Chris Mathews really thinks about aids in Africa. This book is only for the most die hard Mathews fans. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: disappointing Review: This was pretty crap to be honest. I should have read it when I was a kid, like I read all the rest, when I wasn't so critical. In a similar vein, the last of the Father Brown books ("The wisdom of...") wasn't as good as I remembered the others being. On the other hand, the Sherlock Holmes novels are all as strong as Hound of the Baskervilles. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: HUH? Review: I downloaded this to my Kindle Fire after searching for videos that promote social skills and I am in awe at how "DRY" it was. My 1 & 4y/o told me to "turn it off" after about 2 minutes (imagine that)! There was not very much dialogue, but more scenes of kids playing together, laughing, or waving. So maybe it's for much younger kids as mines had no interest. I ended up turning on NickJR and letting them watch Dora. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth the price of the book. Review: Forensic Files is one of my favorite shows so when I heard Paul Dowling telling Catherine Crier that this book contained stories that did not make it to the TV series, I purchased the book immediately. There was only one story in the book that I had not seen and the background to the stories was not worth the price of the book. In addition, this book must never have been proofread by anyone. It contained more grammatical and punctuation errors than any book I have ever read and that is considerable. It also had paragraphs and pages that were out of sequence. Very disappointing. Answer:
No

Title: A good one-volume source for the essential Lincoln writings Review: This book, which is an abridgmment of Basler's larger 8-volume "Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln," is ideal for all students of Lincoln as a quick source for finding Lincoln's most well-known speeches, letters, and other documents. While other collections of Lincoln's writings do exist, Basler's is considered the most definitive. This one-volume edition of that collection makes the most popular and important Lincoln documents accessible to a larger group of people. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Love the Classics Review: Wustof Classic is the high-end of their line of knives. They are made in Soligen Germany from a single piece of cast steel that is finely finished. The same factory produces F. Dick knives that are virtually identical. I've been using Wustof Classic and F. Dick knives for over 15 years. I hand wash them and sharpen them with a ChefsChoice 2000 (rarely) or a smooth steel. I got these for the Gold Box special price of $[...] and that is an incredible bargain. I also own the Wustof Classic hollow ground steak knives which cost about $[...] each (not here). Is this the only knife I would buy if I had to choose? No, I would buy a Shun Ken Onion 8" chefs knife if I could only have one knife. That said; these are really good knives that last for years if cared for properly. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Love is Chemicals gets the whole Indie thing Review: I am not one to purchase an album on iTunes or Amazon to put it plainly- buy any music whatsoever. In fact, the thought has never crossed my mind in this day of the all encompassing torrent.Until that is, today when my Pandora station (The Shins) played "Everyone Is In On It" by the Love is Chemicals.It took me all but 2 minutes to buy the album and load it on my iPhone. The orchestration is tight with the vocals lightly floating above a talent which , I am surprised to see has not broken out on most Indie stations or blogs.This album has passed the "I like more than 3 songs test.."Buy it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: We Stand Passively Mute - Especially after Burning Crosses! Review: There was a review already posted here of Byrd's dribble. Hope Amazon isn't practicing censorship...If so, they need to start deleting those who spew hate Bush remarks without posting true names and\or e-mails.When Mr. Byrd publicly repudiates his sordid past in the Klan, and regretfully so, and dispenses with the occasional anti-Semitic remark, only then does Mr. Byrd deserve a readership. Not one moment before. Zell Miller has repudiated a segregationist past not nearly notorious as Bobby Byrd's, and others have to, even Jimmy Carter, but I guess its okay for a bigot who was a member of the Klan and who hates President Bush to deserve a readership, right? Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: A little silly, but definitely helpful. Review: This is a book that I hate to love. I'm a scientifically-minded guy, but Gordon's tips and explanations are mostly anecdotal. I sometimes cringe at the justifications he makes for some of his points.But despite this, the book has helped me a lot. I'm on tip #40 or so. Many of the tips were things I already knew. But so far, I've gotten about five tips or so that were new and helpful. Which means that the book was /easily/ worth its cost.In addition, even though I feel it's silly at times, I appreciate Gordon's positive energy. He's a little smarmy, but a guy who has the energy to talk about energy for 101 tips is a little inspiring. You need to have a good attitude to have energy.I like to read a tip from this book first thing in the morning when I get up. It helps me think about the day to come in a positive way and try out the tip. I enjoy it.I have to say that I like having this book and that it has been very helpful to me. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: good premise but annoying to read Review: The book promises much but delivers little that is new, although the format is clever. I might have been willing to read it as the chapters are short and end with concise "Action Steps," but the sentence structure and grammar are so bad that I couldn't stand it. I found myself too irritated with the author's poor command of written English to pay attention to his information. Note to Jon Gordon: Take a crash course on sentence structure and comma use, or find yourself a good proofreader. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: A Very Helpful Little Book Review: I've been taking German in college, and for a German linguistics class, this was one of our required books to read. If you're serious about speaking German, get the book! Your pronunciation will become so much better because you finally know what you're doing. In regular language classes, they dont' always go over the correct pronunciation, especially over "r." Other import differences are between the 'ch' in "nach" and "dich," at least in standard German. If you already know the IPA as a linguist, you can pick it up easily. If you don't know it, you'll still be fine. To really know where and how to pronounce something, you end up getting into linguistics a bit. The book also goes beyond phonetics and phonology into some syntax and other things. A good tool for the German learner. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Bootlegging for fun and profit. Review: Recorded in SLP mode, this tape is nothing short of hideous. A tiresome series of film clips clunked together with no rhyme or reason. This is at best bootlegging - and at worst pure unadulterated copyright infringement. Every clip was dubbed from some other source. The picture quality is badly diluted. Steer clear of this one at all costs! Answer:
No

Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Looks fancy but nothing special. Review: Aside from sitting on it for the initial claiming period, this hasn't gotten much use. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone. A full grown cat can't really use this for it's intended purpose of scratching because it has no stability. It moves. Once a cat senses movement, it is completely turned off. At which point this becomes useless. Answer:
No
