Erik Stehmann, a designer who is based in the Netherlands, has created a brilliant take on the scratching post that will serve as a beautiful decoration for your home and also an effective therapy tool for your cat.
That’s because the scratching post is shaped …to look like a dog!
The scratching post is even named DOG, with a smaller variant called PUP.
“Not only does DOG protect your furniture from cat scratching, but it is also THE way for cats to release their frustrations on their ‘natural enemy!’” writes Stehmann (yes, we know that dogs and cats can be the best of pals, but let us enjoy our faux-conflict).
Judging by his photos and videos, you can see clearly that cats take to these scratching posts with murderous glee.
They are also designed so that they can’t be tipped over.
