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!

This looks like something my kitty would love to lounge on!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:07 am
These would be perfect to slow down the cat traffic in the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 10:16 am
my kitties would love the texture of this, and i think the shape is hilarious as they’re constantly chasing each other at top speed!

Today is my cats’ birthday (I have two). They are in desperate need of a new scratcher. My female prefers horizontal scratching, so she would love this!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:20 am
Hmm, my dog has made it hard to my cat to have a place to claim as her own in the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 10:34 am
Count me in!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:35 am
My kitty loves racing all over the house and would definitely like this.
May 1st, 2012 at 10:35 am
It’s me again! =D I conferred with the resident furballs (all 16 of them) and they are all of the definite opinion that we do not have an adequate number of horizontal scratchers. So on their behalf I submit a big fat WE LOVE THIS! Thank for the chance to win this great scratcher!

What a cool design! My cats would love to sink their claws into this! And it might save my rug!!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:42 am
This is exactly what I need to slow down the cat crazies! With six kitties, it seems “someone” is always running through and messing up the carpets! Maybe this would slow them down.
May 1st, 2012 at 10:49 am
Our kitties would love this!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:57 am
Nothing can slow them down – not even a speed bump. However they’d love to scratch on this.
May 1st, 2012 at 11:02 am
Our kitty loves to scratch up our blankets – a speed bump would help us out tremendously!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:02 am
Mattie and Sammy would love one of these cool speed bumps!
Kitties, start your engines!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:02 am
Look out kitties, there is a bump in your road now!!! This would definitely slow down my kitties nocturnal racing
May 1st, 2012 at 11:07 am
My kitty loves to scratch flat, so the Speed Bump would be perfect for him!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:12 am
Oh, my two kitties love to scratch; they would love this “bump”!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:15 am
CUTE! WOuld love one!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:15 am
Lucky needs one of these because the TV room rug deserves a brake….!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:33 am
Love this!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:36 am
My speedy cats would love this bump!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:39 am
Kitties need to slow down and scratch!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:42 am
It might help to slow him down. As he uses it to scratch, he can also take a rest. Good looking scratcher!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:46 am
I need at least one if not more. . .
May 1st, 2012 at 11:50 am
Love the concept! Kitten needs more scratching pads.
May 1st, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Would love one of these for my office where kitties and I hang out all day (they hang out – I work to afford their kitty food and toys)!
May 1st, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Sugar Cat would just love this! So would my furniture.
May 1st, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Bella loves to lean and scratch so this is perrrrfect for her!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Nigel has been a bad kitty lately, maybe he’s bored and needs something to scratch up!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:01 pm
I would love to have one of these for my 4 kitties!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:04 pm
This would be just the thing to place in front of the closet where kitty likes to scratch. For some reason she is obsessed with the carpet under the door. I have already tried sprays, towels, flat scratchers, etc. Maybe the shape of the speed bump would keep her grubby little paws away!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Azure my russian blue wont let me nor anyone else do her nails. I have to rely on corrguated scratchers and sisal scratchers. These would be perfect for her.
May 1st, 2012 at 1:14 pm
This would be the purrrfect thing for my cats. They can always use another cat approved scratching area.
May 1st, 2012 at 1:42 pm
My kitty loves to scratch my carpet, I’d love to win one for her to scratch instead!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:47 pm
My kitty needs a speed bump because she’s constantly running up and down our apartment scratching at everything!
May 1st, 2012 at 1:57 pm
My kitties need the speed bump b/c the bump they currently like scratching is the arm of my couch
May 1st, 2012 at 2:01 pm
My kitty loves to roll around on the floor and this looks like it would be awesome.
May 1st, 2012 at 2:14 pm
So cute! Anything to slow them down.
May 1st, 2012 at 2:22 pm
My Aleister would LOVE this! His favorite scratching things are always cardboard.
May 1st, 2012 at 2:24 pm
A kitty running to scratch is telling you she’s happy with her world. And these bumps will make some kitties very happy.
May 1st, 2012 at 2:27 pm
My little kitten needs a speed bump to slow down and chill!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:27 pm
BUMP!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:28 pm
My kitties love corrugated scratchers!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:30 pm
very cool!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Love these! Thanks for the chance to win!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Buddy, Ashe, Jax & Shelton would be thrilled and enjoy battling time for this!
May 1st, 2012 at 2:57 pm
My sweet Coraline is always tearing through our tiny apartment. A speed bump would definitely be a productive way to slow her down!
May 1st, 2012 at 3:02 pm
A couple of these strategically placed around our house would be fun to see if they actually did slow down our two from tearing around. Regardless, they would love scratching it, and would hopefully leave the carpet alone!
May 1st, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Yes! This is great! My cats need something to do other than just sit right by me!
May 1st, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Carpet and cardboard seem to be my cats favorite scratching materials… And I’d much rather have them scratching at these wonderful speed bumps than at my carpet!
