Dutch designer Erik Stehmann definitely has a sense of humor when it comes to cat scratching! This is his creation, DOG Scratchpost, a sisal wrapped cat scratcher in the shape of a dog. What kitty wouldn’t love to sink her claws into this?

This is a very high-end piece of modern design with a hefty price tag of €649, or about $880 US, but I love the concept of turning a 3-D form — especially one with a secondary meaning like this — into a cat scratcher. Do you have any interesting ideas for unique cat scratchers? Get out some rope and your glue gun and go to town! Don’t forget to send us photos of what you come up with!

If you’re not handy with a glue gun and you have money to burn, DOG is available for purchase from Erik Stehmann’s webshop and also from the Soonsalon webshop.
