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!

My kitties LOVE cardboard! I could see them now with this speedy bump…..jumping and rolling around on it. My big one may even try to pick it up HAHA
April 30th, 2012 at 11:03 am
Maybe these will slow my cats down when they’re in their overhyper-playtime mode at 3am

A Kitty Speed Bump…How ingenious! This is definitely something this household could benefit from. Especially at 3 AM when some of my 12 (Notice I said 12-twelve)furballs decides it’s time for The Kitty Olympics Relay Race! When they get going chasing each other it sound like a herd of elephants stampeding throughout the house. I keep wondering when they will start knocking pictures off the walls!

Both my cat AND my dog needs one of these. They’re always playing and racing each other through the apartment. lol
April 30th, 2012 at 11:03 am
My kitty — and I — need the speed bump because he loves to have scratching surfaces around the house, so I need a little something for him in every room to keep my furniture in one piece!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:05 am
We would definitely get a lot of use out of one of these cool speed bumps. Jamez, Mr.Tittles and Baby Tiddy…>^;;^^;;^^;;^<

Jasmine needs this so bad! She loves scratching on the carpet and the stand up posts she hasn’t taken a liking to yet! This would be perfect.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:05 am
What fun! I’m sure our 2 Maine Coon kittens would love playing on this – it looks big enough that they’d both be able to scratch it.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:05 am
My cat needs the speed bump to slow her post-litter-box-victory-lap.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:06 am
My cats would love one of these. I save kitten and stray cats and try to find good homes for them and do not charge..only the promise they will be taken care of and they are aspray or nutered so they can not add more unwanted kittens. I do this of my own free will and so sometimes extra items are just not in my budget and I would love to win one of these so I could give them a little extra in their lives. sue Leech

Yes please!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:07 am
My kitties NEED this! They spend all day sitting and kneading the arms of my sofa. This scratching post is the same rounded shape. Maybe if I had this they would give my sofa a break!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:07 am
Clever! We are on scratch pad/toy #4 and so far, no dice. I think her main issue with them is that they slide around. Need to find something though, it took me three days to trim one claw. Not one paw, one claw (._.)
April 30th, 2012 at 11:07 am
What a good design…..my cats love the cardboard scratcher’s.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:08 am
My kitty definitely could use a Speed Bump- she loves cardboard and it would make for a perfect lounge for when she’s not racing around the living room!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:08 am
My kitties could use a kitty speed bump..some of them have been scratching the furniture
April 30th, 2012 at 11:09 am
Lily has a cat pod and loves it!! I know she’d love a speed bump!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:09 am
My cats may be speed bumps themselves, so I’d be interested to see how they’d like this.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:09 am
My kitties would love a speedbump. They love having new things to scratch and perch on.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:10 am
I wonder what my Thunderpaws girl will do as she’s racing around the house and finds the Kitty Speed Bump? Hurdle over it, and then when she’s tired out, take a nice long scratch!!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:10 am
My 3 kitties race around the house many times a day. It would be nice to have a “speed bump” to slow them down at times. So pick, Erin, Reno or Boots as the winners. Thanks >^..^<
April 30th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Annie, Oakley and especially our youngest, Abbie would love to have a speed bump in place!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:12 am
Great idea! My kitties need this…
April 30th, 2012 at 11:12 am
My cats love things like this to use as resting places and scratching.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:13 am
Oh, the girls think this would be so fun to dig into.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:13 am
The cats in these pictures are adorable, as would my Layla be if she won one!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:13 am
My kitties would love these! Can never have enough scratchers around ; 0
April 30th, 2012 at 11:13 am
One of our three kitties will especially love it , simply coz she just has to scratch!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:14 am
Kitty needs a speed bump or we’ll get a ticket!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:14 am
would love it for Max, Oggie & Ella!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:16 am
Kitty speed bump is such a clever name. My kitties would love it.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:16 am
Love it! Hope I win it for Tiger =^.^=
April 30th, 2012 at 11:17 am
We’ve been dying to try these
My kitties love a good scratcher! And it just so happens the current favorite is just about worn through =^..^=
April 30th, 2012 at 11:18 am
COOL!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:18 am
Toby desperately needs more places to scratch so the furniture won’t look so appealing.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:18 am
Every kitty needs a speed bump! My kitty loves texture & boy would this float her boat!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I know several cats who would love a speed bump.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:19 am
My kitty loves being spoiled.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:21 am
The kitties have spoken and said they would love a speed bump of their own. Who knows, it might save my poor area rug from being scratched!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:21 am
Could this be the solution to Oliver and Julian’s All Star Wrestling episodes? I hope so!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:21 am
how perfect!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:22 am
We have 4 boys racing through the house like twisters – lol. So that
cute thingie could give a lil distraction and a place for a break….
April 30th, 2012 at 11:22 am
My cats would love this. It would make their games of tag much more interesting.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:23 am
My kitties would love this scratcher!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:25 am
My cats love cardboard, this would be perfect for them.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:25 am
great design, my cat loves scratchers and a new shape would keep her off the side of the couch!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:26 am
So cute! My girls love to scratch the edges of these things so this would be perfect for them =D
April 30th, 2012 at 11:26 am
I can just see my Remy stretched out on this–and he would love scratching on it too!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:27 am
My poor kitties must suffer through weekly nail clipping as their nails grow so fast. They like to scratch something fierce because of it and are endlessly confused (and pissed off!) when we humans squirt them with water bottles when they choose the wrong thing to do it on.
Sure hope they win a speed bump; it looks perfect for them.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:27 am
I would love to let my kitties use this!!
