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 cats would love a Kitty Speed Bump!
May 1st, 2012 at 4:16 pm
My cat would scratch it up!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I just wonder how long it’ll take my cats to tear that apart! :1

cute cute cute!

I love this brand of cat products! When Catpods was featured on MC last year I purchased one for my kitties – and they LOVE it! The material is so strong and durable. I’ve had the Catpod and the Speed Bump for about 6-7 months now and it is holding up very nicely – and that’s saying a lot because I have 8 kitties!

too funny!our cats literally SPEED through out the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 4:32 pm
All 4 of my kitties need something other than my computer bag to sharpen their claws on!
May 1st, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Oh, a speed bump of cardboard would be about the only thing to slow a cat in this home!Cardboard confetti in no time
May 1st, 2012 at 4:41 pm
I doubt it could stop 3 kitties racing back and forth, but it’s sure worth a try! I know they’d love scratching it.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:08 pm
My two male cats would just love this scratcher. I made a scratcher out of rope and a cardboard tube, they would think they were very special to have a fancy one like the Speed Bump.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:12 pm
kitty with claws
May 1st, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Smokey needs one as his nails grow sooo fast, we live in a mobile home, & he needs a fresh place to scratch on, it would be so greatly appreciated for my baby!!!!
May 1st, 2012 at 5:19 pm
My two cats would love this bump to lay on and scratch!
May 1st, 2012 at 5:21 pm
MY cats love to run around so this would be great for them.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:38 pm
This is cute!! If you don’t win one you can easily make one.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:55 pm
I don’t know if speed bumps would do much to stop them from running through the house like lunatics but i am sure they would enjoy them greatly.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Six out of seven of my rescue kitties have their front claws and need a reminder to slow down and scratch their stress away!
May 1st, 2012 at 5:57 pm
i know my cats would love these. we have been through more scratching posts than i can count.
May 1st, 2012 at 6:20 pm
If they get distracted while zooming around the house by these speed bumps, they definitely live up to their name!
May 1st, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Would like to have a few to place in the rescue enclosures – the foster kitties will make great use of them!
May 1st, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Here kitty, kitty, kitty!!! Meow meow’s will come a running for this
May 1st, 2012 at 6:56 pm
I have two kittens that love racing down our hallway! Sometimes they crash into the walls so hard, they knock pictures down. It would be fun to put the speed bump in the way and see how they react!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:02 pm
One of these babies might get Ali to slow down and stop tearing up the base of my couch!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:10 pm
We can’t remember if we entered or not! We would love a speed bump!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:15 pm
So cool!!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:20 pm
4 kitties need a lot of scratchers!!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:48 pm
We luv corrugated cardboard at our house, looks fun!
May 1st, 2012 at 7:55 pm
Multiple scratchers never hurt….
May 1st, 2012 at 8:27 pm
Sure could use some speed bumps to slow my cats who zip around the house.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:31 pm
My cat Geordi loves to rest his front paws on something that will prop him up. I know he would love the speed bump; it’s the perfect shape for him.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:33 pm
I wonder how this would work in our hallway…they speed through so they can slide the rug/runner all up to one side.
May 1st, 2012 at 8:38 pm
This is so cute, I love it!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Inky & Mo could use a speed bump to slow them down during crazy middle of the night racing around times!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:25 pm
My kitty needs a speed bump because he hurls himself through the kitchen like a Tennessee Tornado ! ! !
Thanks for the Giveaway ! ! !
May 1st, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Love the name and concept. Love the photos of the cats relaxing against them. Great for launching jumps, I’ll bet. Sofa-savers, too!
May 1st, 2012 at 11:36 pm
My cats sound like buffalo when they run around like maniacs!
May 2nd, 2012 at 12:40 am

May 2nd, 2012 at 1:13 am
Col idea! My cats would love it!
May 2nd, 2012 at 1:13 am

May 2nd, 2012 at 1:16 am
My cat would enjoy this so much!
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:52 am
Maybe my kitty will slow down with the speed bump…
May 2nd, 2012 at 4:34 am
My baby boy Madison needs occupying to stop him harassing my 4 girls!
He’s a naughty little boy.
May 2nd, 2012 at 6:55 am
My cats need a speedbump–hopefully then they will stop chewing on boxes.
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 am
Never wanted a speed bump in my house until now!
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:38 am
I don’t know if 3 speed bumps will slow down my 9 month old boy kitty, but I think it would. How could he resist sinking his nails into those?
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:54 am
My kitty will be in the lap of luxury if he has such a fancy scratcher !
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:07 am
what a cute idea! my boys would love it!
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:11 am
Would love to win this all my cats pull all the other cardboard scratchers off the floor. Am interested to see if a weighted one will stay put longer
