LeoScratchingPost4

I’ve loved this design ever since I first saw it many years ago when it was just an idea, and now it’s finally becoming a reality! It’s the Leo Scratching Post from James Owen Designs and it’s one of the finest examples of modern cat design I recall ever seeing. Talk about functional design! This gorgeous sculptural scratching post will make both cats and their owners very happy!

The Leo Scratching Post is made of laminated wood with a texture that’s designed to appeal to cats while disguising claw marks. The sleek wood form sits on top of a polished metal base with a slight curve that allows the posts to sway just a bit (correction: newest version does not sway, see comment from the designer below). Measuring about 25″ tall, the Leo Scratching Post will let cats get a good stretch while scratching.
