This month we have another great giveaway from one of my favorite companies, DKcat. One lucky reader will take home a sleek, handmade DKcat scratching post. Just like all DKcat products, the scratching post uses natural, durable materials that are eco-friendly, such as reclaimed wood and natural sisal rope. All of DKcat’s designs are clean and modern but also functional for kitties. The winner will get to choose one of four finish combos: chocolate + tan, blonde + tan, blonde + grey, or blonde + stripes.
EXTRA CHANCE TO WIN!
To enter the monthly giveaway, make sure you’re signed-up to receive Moderncat updates via email. If you’re already getting the updates but you’d like an EXTRA chance to win this month, please leave a comment on this post. The drawing will take place on February 28. Complete details on the monthly giveaway here. This giveaway includes shipping to the continental US. Readers outside the continental US may enter if they are willing to pay the extra shipping costs.

My kitty girl would love to get her paws on this scratching post. I love the platform base. Looks very stable!
February 4th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
ooo, my couches could sure use a break from my three kitties.
February 4th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
These are great! It’s hard to find modern looking scratch posts with sisal rope, I’d love to give my girls an excuse to exercise their claws in a good way!
February 5th, 2010 at 3:00 am
these posts will fit in with any decor, most of all from experience i know cats love the sisal rope scratchers .

Panthro REALLY needs a new scratching post!! The fine old man of only 14 months…he’s let me know in not so subtle ways that he’s grown out of his old scratcher.
hmm…maybe this one.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:39 am
my kitties would love the wide base – and their stylish!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:42 am
I love the clean design of this scratcher. I would love to see a larger version 5-6′ or taller. The look is so much nicer than shag carpet, and my cats seem to like the sisal better.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:43 am
I like how stable this scratching post seems to be. I will be getting a Pixie Bob very soon and I think he would love this scratching post.
Thank you, Roxanne

Very cool. Why didn’t someone think of an off-centered scratching post before?!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:55 am
My kitty would adore this!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:03 am
Very fashionable for the felines in my house!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:04 am
I’d love to be able to give this to the asst. manager of the apartments I live in. She’s also kind of the ‘crazy cat lady’ of the apartments, but we share a love of cats. I can’t afford to get one of my own, but she’s perfectly fine with me coming over to her place for a ‘kitty fix’, and I’d love to be able to show her(and the cats!) my appreciation.

This looks wonderful. I have a Siamese who can never quite make up his mind whether he prefers to scratch horizontally or vertically, this fits the bill for him. He can do both. Half the time he shreds my sofa. The other half his scratching post. His post has already seen much better days and sheds shag rug fiber all over.
I love the idea of eco-friendly sisal and wood. The idea of being around another outgassing carpet and glue scratching post was very unappealing.

I just threw out the old scratching post/2-tiered house. Checkers would never go inside the house, but he loved scratching it. This post would be perfect, and I have the perfect spot for it. Thanks.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:24 am
I need a scratching post, since my 3 cats seem to enjoy scratching everything except the circle scratcher I have.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:26 am
My kitties would LOVE to have one of these!!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:17 am

February 5th, 2010 at 10:30 am
I love it!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:37 am
my 3 fat boys would love this! (so would my couch!)
February 5th, 2010 at 10:56 am
Would be great for my babies to use!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Finally scratchposts in color. They have the perfect hight for a good kitty. Love the design and the sturdy pedestral.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Who couldn’t use a new scratching post?
February 5th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Risto would love this. He seems to go through quite a fair bit of scratching posts and carpet these days
February 5th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Looks so nice! Good luck!
February 5th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
You can never have too many scratching posts!
February 5th, 2010 at 4:24 pm

February 5th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
My furry baby would love this!
He is into climbing big time right now. He is 4 months old as of February 4th. 
February 5th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Very sleek and beautiful.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
My “kids” really need this!
February 6th, 2010 at 7:28 am
My little boy NEEDS this I would love to win this! My kitty has sharp nail and dislikes nail clipping, but this iteam would help me and him out ALOT!
February 6th, 2010 at 11:57 am
I love it and my cat would love it too. She is always happy to find a new place to scratch
February 6th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Whoa, this looks great!
February 6th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Oh, so, now you come up with these after my cats clawed my antique couch
to pieces! Thanks!
February 6th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
beautiful design – especially the steps. well done.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
im already an email subscriber–please count me in!
February 6th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Unfortunately, this post is not ideal as it has an offset base which can topple, then the cat develops a negative association with the post and won’t use it. Great concept, just center the post for safety.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:18 am
very nice scratching post!
February 7th, 2010 at 3:03 am
Please count me (my cat) in!
February 7th, 2010 at 8:51 am
These are so sleek and stylish. My cat would totally adore one!
February 7th, 2010 at 10:40 am
These look awesome, Feegs would totally dig it!
February 7th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I love the stylish design of these scratching posts. My two kitties would love one of these!
February 7th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Our scratch post is about to fall apart. This would be great.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
My kitty loves to tear up all the furniture, curtains, bedding and anything that is made of nice, tearable fabric. She also loves a proper scratch on a proper scratching post… this modern design would be right up her alley.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:01 am
What an excellent cat scratching post! My two cats would love it.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
very chic!
February 8th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
a smart scratcher!
February 8th, 2010 at 11:59 pm
all 4 of our kitties would love a scratch and stretch on this DKcat scratching post!
February 9th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Come-on, you know my cat would go crazy over this – crazy happy! Pick me!
February 9th, 2010 at 7:33 am
My kitties and I just got a new home and I think this would make a lovely decoration in it.
February 9th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Love it, it looks sturdy but really cute
