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 kitty would love a speed bump because she likes rest with her upper body on something. Currently she rests it on a wooden block. I think a speed bump would be much more comfortable!
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:57 am
Kitties would definitely use this!
May 2nd, 2012 at 9:17 am
I can always use more scratchers in the house for my 3 boys!
May 2nd, 2012 at 9:39 am
how cool is this. the kitties would love it!
May 2nd, 2012 at 9:48 am
Looks like a great spot to scratch and then take a nap!
May 2nd, 2012 at 10:04 am
My eight kitties would love this to lounge and scratch on!

My precious tabby, Pumpkin, loves to do dead sprints at top speeds from one end of my apartment to the other. For her safety, and my peace of mind, she could really use a speed bump…and maybe a crossing guard.

Lucas would LOVE this!
May 2nd, 2012 at 10:29 am
Cool scratching bump, my Aly will love it!

I once rescued a cat that I accidently “hit” when he ran in front of my car. Luckily I got him to the vet on time and then turned him over to a cat rescue to be adopted. His foster home named him “Speed bump” and he was kept there because he was so sweet!! My cats now love sleeping on their scratch items. This would be so neat to have.

my kitty loves anything made out of cardboard, and she loves to scratch. I think she would have a great time with this speed bump!
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:00 am
Purrfect a speed bump to slow down the night “crazies”!
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:12 am
We need speed bumps here! Love the kitty pictures on the site. Fun giveaway!
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:45 am
Oo my cat loves tearing into things with his back legs, this would be perfect!
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:57 am
This is the nicest speed bump I have ever encountered!
May 2nd, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I would love to have this!
May 2nd, 2012 at 12:33 pm
I have 4 babies and go through scratching posts so fast. And they slide across the room. This one seems really sturdy! And makes a great arm rest for them.
May 2nd, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Love it!
May 2nd, 2012 at 1:03 pm

May 2nd, 2012 at 4:02 pm
LOVE the kitty speed bump!
May 2nd, 2012 at 4:29 pm
My cat is a bump so she would love this.
May 2nd, 2012 at 4:45 pm
My cats would run right over this!
May 2nd, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Our cats love anything that doubles as a rest area and a scratcher. I just want them to slow down!
May 2nd, 2012 at 6:22 pm
with 6 cats getting the kitty krazies at the same time, a speed bump is mandatory!
May 2nd, 2012 at 6:54 pm
We all love these kinds of kitty scratchers!!
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Bombay needs this, he can rest on it and use it as a step up to get onto furniture since he has arthritis and does not get around well!! He would love it!!
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:08 pm
My cat’s would love a speedbump because they are addicted to cardboard stratching toys…cant get enough!
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:16 pm
Oh my Basil needs this, He’s the 900 mile an hour cat, zooming everywhere, or Mr. Kitty would love to chill on it
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:28 pm
This is neat! Midnight would love this.
May 2nd, 2012 at 7:59 pm
Glad to hear that the bumps are nice and heavy. I have tried scratch pads but a lot of times the get pulled up, until the cat figures out that it has to stand upon it while scratching. And they don’t stay put. So these heavy speed bumps sound really intriguing and fun.
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:34 pm
My kitty needs this because it resembles the fallen trees she likes to scratch on when I take her for walks!
May 2nd, 2012 at 8:39 pm
Oh boy! We need a kitty speed bump in our house! Or maybe two or three! Between the three cats and the chihuahua, it’s a regular NASCAR race through the house every day!
May 2nd, 2012 at 9:46 pm
This kitty speed bump would be favorite spot in our house for sure!
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 pm
Hi kitty’s would love this I hope I win
May 2nd, 2012 at 11:33 pm
OK, my kitties need a speed bump because they’re moving just as slowly & lazily as these lovely cats are, but they’re much more bored because they don’t have a speed bump to stop them & that they can lay upon & scratch up as all good kitties wish to do! : )
May 3rd, 2012 at 1:02 am
This is so cute and original. I love the name “Speed Bump” instead of scratcher!!
May 3rd, 2012 at 6:47 am
Love love love the speed bumps and pucks!
May 3rd, 2012 at 8:34 am
Toby definitely needs a speed bump to slow him down! I love this design, looks great to scratch and to rub on!
May 3rd, 2012 at 9:36 am
My cats need a speed bump to scratch on instead of my door facings!!
May 3rd, 2012 at 9:38 am
We love anything we can scratch on!
May 3rd, 2012 at 9:50 am
My friend could definitely use this for her three. They need something besides her furniture!
May 3rd, 2012 at 10:51 am
My cars CeCe and DJ are my runners. They love running from one end of the house to the other. There are two places they stop on their way the back of the couch and the back of my office chair. They could use a few speed bumps along the way to slow them down. They use the back of my chair to claw. This just might help at least one of them.
May 3rd, 2012 at 11:11 am
My big guy would especially like this! He prefers to rest his rib cage area on all manner of lumpy, bumpy things.
May 3rd, 2012 at 11:13 am
Lol! These are neat!
May 3rd, 2012 at 11:59 am
My babies love their scratch pads and their trees, but they could definitely use something that they can use simultaneously. They’re always taking turns hogging the fun toys they have, it’d be nice to have multiple ones so they can play together. lol
May 3rd, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Just the thing to slow the “racing” around the house!
