SofiP 1 The weave is a simple twirl and the size is good. But the smell is awful, it smells like poison. I had it for about 8 months before I used it, and it was in the sun. That didn't make the smell go away, because I found out when I opened it. I used it in my cat tower and now I am hoping the smell will wear off soon because I worry about the cats' health if they scratch it and then clean their paws.
