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!

For my two adolescent cats who likes to scratch my carpets =)
April 30th, 2012 at 11:59 am
I dont think it would slow them down, but my kitties would love it!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:59 am
I would like to win this for my sister’s cat. He loves scratching on anything and everyone.
April 30th, 2012 at 11:59 am
Kitty would love this!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 11:59 am
I really like the look of these and they’d work for across and up scratching kitties!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
My cat loves to sit on her scratching posts… this would really mix things up for her!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:03 pm

My indoor city-slicker cat need more to do! He loves horizontal scratch pads, he’d be so happy
April 30th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Just what the kitty ordered!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
This just might save my couch.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
speed bump eh?
April 30th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
My 2 cats would live this.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
My kitten, Lily, would love one of these! And I would love something that may slow her down as she races from one end of the house to the other, regardless of people in her way.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
KooKoo needs a speed bump to slow him down! He’s super active!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
pick me! my kitties can use this!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Oh, yes, this is for Pumpkin
April 30th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
I have one kitty that sometimes scratches walls, one that scratches only antique furniture, and the third actually uses the scratchy pad. I think all three would benefit from a speed bump!

Dear Moderncat/Catpods,
I have a dilemma that perhaps you can help me with. You see, I have 2 cats, aged 3 years and 7 months, respectively. Our living room is spacious, and leads directly into one of our bedrooms. Thus, my cats have gotten the impression that our apartment is a NASCAR-qualifier track. Nothing I do slows them down, and our 70 year old downstairs neighbor would really appreciate the addition of a speed bump into this ‘race track’, especially at midnight, which seems to be the time of the ‘big race of the day’.
Sincerely,
Red Flag Waver in Los Angeles

Rudy is sharpening his claws to use on of these
April 30th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Looks great. my four need a speed bump, quick, they race like little fire rockets chasing each other til they pant, thats when I have to step in and cuddle them. We need a place to relax.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
My kitty and I just moved in to a new apartment with my boyfriend. We kept his living room leather couch set. I had no couches before. My kitty loves them. Couches were expensive. Boyfriend is not happy! need a solution asap!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Looks like something my foster kittens would love!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
My Fred and Ginger would have so much fun with a Speed bump in our living room!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
They really look great
April 30th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Cuteeeee!!! KItiies would love it !!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
As much as my cats would totally dig this. I think Gail comment 101 should win one cause she actually had a cat named speed bump. How totally cool is that.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
My little guys would love this!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
This is really great! Would love to win one for the kittens
April 30th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
We are on 4th scratch toy and so far, no winners. This one sounds promising.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:21 pm
That’s brilliant! And then they can sit on top and be king of the hill.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:21 pm
Pig and Barney deserve a kitty bump because they’re so pretty!!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Cute product name!! My three cat need this..shew they have loads of energy!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
My kitties would love to scratch on these, and show me how a speed bump would not slow them down!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
My kitty needs one because she looooves her scratchy post and uses it all day, but the cardboard is all shredded now, and she needs a new one! She would love this!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
My cats will slow down for these speed bumps.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Zoom, zoom. I want a speed bump.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
This is a great idea! My 2 cats compete for scratching places and resting spots- this would be a wonderful addition.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
My cat would love this! She prefers cardboard and horizontal scratching surfaces but the extra shape I think would encourage her to scratch more.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
My boys would love one of these. Maybe it will distract them from scratching my diningroom chairs
April 30th, 2012 at 12:27 pm
My boy Spooky was a whopping 20 lbs.! I have him down to 17…but the speed bump could help with his dieting!!! LOL
April 30th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Misha & Nikko would love to win the Kitty Speed Bump!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Love the name!! Would love to have one and see if it really does slow the kitty traffic around here.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Because I have three cats. The older one has her own defined space inside the condo, but the two young ones sometims bicker and compete for space (amongst other things). Maybe one of them would claim this scratcher.
April 30th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
we want one!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:32 pm
Very cool!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
What a handsome speed bump; bring it on!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
My cats would love a speed bump!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
With 6 cats (soon to be 7, when I catch and vet the stray kitten at our office), I could use a speed bump (or 6) to help keep up with the 35 nails I have to trim!
April 30th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
The dogs are always getting toys; my cat could use a turn at being spoiled
April 30th, 2012 at 12:35 pm
I can see one of the cats using this, but I think the little one’s more likely to try to use it as a ramp!
