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!

Woo hoo will this slow down a 2 yr old kitten
Plus 2 other cats would love to lay on this.

We are working hard at our shelter to educate people on alternatives to declawing. We like to give our cats lots of different types of scatchers so we can find what they like so we can make recommendations to their new family. The speed bumps would be a great product to feature in the colony.

These look like alot fun for my cats!
May 1st, 2012 at 6:26 am
mm that would save my sofa from being scratched.
May 1st, 2012 at 6:28 am
My cat and two dogs race around and around my living room. Maybe it will slow all of them down! He loves to scratch and it will look better than the box he now uses.
May 1st, 2012 at 6:28 am
My kitties have an old floor type scratching box. I think they would love something new, if only to lay on
May 1st, 2012 at 6:31 am
Our little gal would love one of these! Maybe if she had one our carpets would stop suffering!

Out two girls run around in the middle of the night waking us up, this speed bump would be perfect for next to our bed, which they are alternatively marking with their claws!
May 1st, 2012 at 6:51 am
Very cool!
May 1st, 2012 at 6:53 am
My kitties need the speed-bump because they’ve taken up kitty olympics and need a distraction to SLOW them down!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:03 am
I adopted a Maine Coon last year and he is full of energy, sometimes too much for my two other cats. the speed bump would slow him down and give him another outlet for his energy
May 1st, 2012 at 7:08 am
Our Tucker needs this to slow down his path of disaster – at three he is still a crazy kitten!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:17 am
My kitties would love this. I can see them hiding behind (although they are all to ‘pudgy’ to actually hide) waiting to pounce on the next kitty trying to sharpen his/her claws. What fun they would have.
May 1st, 2012 at 7:20 am
My guys would really love one of these.
May 1st, 2012 at 7:34 am
Our cats would need a speed bump to slow down the speed racing around the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 7:35 am
Purr-fect for Little Lucy!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:37 am
how awesome! I love these things!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:46 am
My big Maine Coon would be all over this!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:49 am
My cat would love this!! He is always looking for something to sharpen his claws on!!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:52 am
my three kitties are crazy for cardboard scratchers! we would love to have a new one and the shape of it is cool
May 1st, 2012 at 8:14 am
Just the thing to slow down my three racing felines! Thanks for offering this!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:16 am
Kismet & D’Artagnan would go nuts with one of these! Games of tag would be epic I tell you, EPIC!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:18 am
My kitties would love this – I can see Harrison laying flat on it like a tree branch. great idea, so simple & smart.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:27 am
My name is Bump, I have kitties.
Why don’t I have this!?
May 1st, 2012 at 8:29 am
What a cool unique idea!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:33 am
My three kitties could use a speed bump to slow tham down as they race through the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:35 am
This is a cute little scratcher!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:40 am
My foster cats would LOVE one of these!!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:41 am
Maybe with a speed bump they wouldn’t be able to reach full launch velocity!
May 1st, 2012 at 8:44 am
I think my Dotti would actually sleep holding on to this
May 1st, 2012 at 8:59 am
Not sure this would slow my cats down, but it would provide them with a ambush hiding spot. Love them!!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:02 am
My too young boys would love this.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:04 am
OMG my three so need a speed bump in their lives! They sound like ponies running through the house when they’re playing. Maybe this would slow them down a bit!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:04 am
With my niece’s 2 cats added to our already crowded feline house–I could definitely use this. Plus they could have their own scratcher that doesn’t have any scent from the existing cats.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:08 am
I think my cat Mufasa needs this badly.. He tends to have moments throughout the day where he goes on an energy sprint around the house, knocking stuff, and almost people, over! This might help grab his attention and slow him down a little!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:18 am
I think this speed bump might intice my indoor cat to slow down his inside scratching in my apartment! Love it!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:22 am
Maybe if i put it in the middle of my wood floors it will slow down the race kitties in my living room!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:30 am
Those 4 precious of mine have tripped me too many times. Time to “trip” them
May 1st, 2012 at 9:36 am
Traffic gets heavy & hectic at our house with our 7 cats plus our 2 hospice foster kitties! Our cats are all over the age of 6, but you’d never know they weren’t kittens at heart. Schmoo (10) & Carlton (9) are our “kickers” – they love to grab their cat beds and roll around pummelling them. Jack (6, has chronic renal failure) has actually grabbed his cardboard scratcher and dragged it across the floor while scratching it & wrestling with it! These active cats need a challenge, and a Speed Bump would be the center of their attention.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:39 am
Mr. Friend is always happy with a new place to scratch, that is not the sofa!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:40 am
so cute! my babies would love this.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:43 am
My kitty goes crazy for cardboard.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:44 am
My Sasha cat would love a speed bump, as she is a horizontal scratcher.
May 1st, 2012 at 9:45 am
I foster cats so it would be great to have more scratchers to help them adjust to the indoors and new surroundings!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:47 am
My cats would love this!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:49 am
My cats have 1 speedbump already and they love it! They’d love another one!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:50 am
I know my cat would love to have something like this!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:54 am
My kitties would love this!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 9:59 am
GAAAHHHH I can’t remember if I entered yet or not!
