Here’s just the thing to slow down that speedy creature racing through your living room! It’s a Kitty Speed Bump from Catpods.com. We absolutely love the one they sent us to test. As you can see below, the Kitty Speed Bumps have multiple functions: resting spot, scratching surface, bolster, and meeting place. The Speed Bumps are much heavier than you might think, so they stay in place easily, especially on carpet.
Kitty Speed Bumps are just the right size to give your cat a little place to mark as her own. By scratching, rubbing, and lying on the Speed Bump, kitty will leave her scent and scratch marks to claim her territory. Wouldn’t you rather her do that on a Speed Bump than on your furniture?
Kitty Speed Bumps are available directly form Catpods.com for $19.95. Use coupon code MODERNCAT and get 5% off all products, plus, right now, receive a free bag of Kitty Pucks toys with every order!

Love this! My girl cat is obsessed with anything cardboard and scratchable.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:07 am
This is sooo fun!!! I’d love it for my cat!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:07 am
OMGosh, do we need this, their scratcher is on it’s last legs!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:08 am

April 30th, 2012 at 10:08 am
What a great simple design- would love to put one to the test
April 30th, 2012 at 10:08 am
oh please, oh please, oh please pick me!!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:09 am
My kitties would love one of these, they love cardboard scratchers!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:09 am
My kitty needs a speed bump so she can stop using my good wooded chest as her nail file! Might help slow her down when she runs through the house; maybe she’ll stop slamming into the wall.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:09 am
Just what my speedster needs, a speed bump!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:09 am
These are awesome!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:10 am
This would be great for my 3 cats!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:10 am
My guys need a speed bump! They would totally sprawl on top of it, scratch on it (they love cardboard scratchers) and wrestle for it!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:11 am
My kitties need a speed bump to slow them down when they get the zoomies!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:11 am
Hope to win this great item.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:11 am
my kitties need one because declawing is cruel and this is humane AND fun!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:12 am
This will help her slow down. Temporarily…:)
April 30th, 2012 at 10:12 am
These are great! My girls are just starting to like the feel of cardboard against their claws. Something like this would be perfect to throw next to their favorite “scratching spots” =^.^=
April 30th, 2012 at 10:12 am
Just perfect!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:12 am
Aww so cute!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:13 am
This would definitely slow down my speed demon! And it would help our poor couch too!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:13 am
What a neat idea! Each of my seven cats would love this.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:13 am
As a breeder of Siberian kittens ,there’s lots of racing around the house along with our 2 pet Siamese. And so, when I read this about the speed bumps , I thought this would be cool! But then I saw that they are nice & heavy & make great scratching pads & loungers, I thought this might be just the purrfect addition to our trees, toys, etc.

I love cats I love every kind of cat I just want to hold them all. You were right
Modern girls always have to go
Right on time
Old-fashioned men always want a mistress
You were right
Modern girls always get their way
I was wrong
Modern men dream of what they can’t say
That’s alright
(That’s alright)
I don’t belong
April 30th, 2012 at 10:13 am
My boys need one so they can slow down when they are running from the basement to the main floor.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:13 am
My cat would love another place to sharpen her claws.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:14 am
What fun. The kitties in my place would undoubtably find even more creative uses for it. And I’d enjoy learning what they are!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:14 am
Just what my future kitten needs…..too cool!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:14 am
The Kitty Speed Bumps are great! My furballs love corrugated scratchers… I can never seem to have enough of them around!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:14 am
would love to have this for my cats.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:15 am
My kitty could use this at the top of the stairs, so she has an appropriate place to pause and scratch as she tears around the house!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:15 am
You have the BEST cat stuff every always top notch
April 30th, 2012 at 10:15 am
Layla, Morgan, Lili, and Val would love this. Horizontal scratchers can be great. They don’t fall over. There’s a reason that they always show tiny kittens with the usual kind of scratching post – big cats pull them over and where’s the fun in that! This has a nice round shape, like a log. The gang would think it was way cool.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Teh Ornge Kitteh would love this. he’s always scratching some piece of furniture or other.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:17 am
I’m sure it’s not a coincidence that the DLH in the photo looks exactly like my Sophie. Must mean that she was meant to win this! Pick us, pick us, pick us!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:17 am
Please, please pick my post! I purchased two speed bumps for my cats and they love are in love with them. We need a few more.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:17 am
I know just the cat for this speedbump–he’d love it!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:18 am
Great design.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:18 am
So cute!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:18 am
We just moved across country, and my kitties had to give up their large scratchers because of it. A speed bump would be a perfect gift for my stir-crazy furbabies.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:20 am
Prof. Bean would love to rest her laurels upon this while getting in a good scratch! xo
April 30th, 2012 at 10:20 am
My cats would probably love these. They’re always racing around our place.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:20 am
hehe, kitty speed bump!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Not quite sure ANYTHING could slow my 7 month old kitty down, but I’m sure my 4 year old Maine Coon would appreciate any help you can give! Thanks ModernCat!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:21 am
We need one because we have five cats and they are very quick to claw up the cardboard scratchers we already have!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Because we might need to get rid of him as a result of him tearing up the carpet.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:22 am
My 3 kitties would LOVE a “speed bump”! They would “try” to be territorial and spread themselves over it plus their favorite pastime is simply scratching…..
April 30th, 2012 at 10:22 am
my kitty would love this perch!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:22 am
ooo we would love a kitty speed bump! we like our flat scratchers…this would be way more fun!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Purrfect scratcher for purrfect kitties!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:23 am
My boys love to scratch on cardboard, but one of them tears it up so easily, this heavier weight might be perfect for him!
