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 great fun! (Although I doubt this speed bump would slow down my kitty!)
April 30th, 2012 at 9:56 am
My cats would love this! We have a new baby in the house and want to make sure our cats are not feeling neglected
April 30th, 2012 at 9:56 am
My cats just love cardboard scratchers…these would get a lot of use!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:56 am
my kitties would scratch this speed bump until it’s flat…they would love it!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:57 am
My cats need the speed bump because we just put down new laminate floors and they are going way to fast for the running conditions. They keep skidding out of control. I think a speed bump would help them keep their speed down to a safer level, lol.
April 30th, 2012 at 9:57 am
I love seeing our cat race around the house, but I don’t love her scratching our carpet. This looks like something she would really like using. Thank you!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:57 am
Scribbles needs this because he is spoiled, and needs anything cool for kitties.
April 30th, 2012 at 9:57 am
Another thing to rub! This would make my cat so happy!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:57 am
I need the kitty speed bump because my cats need speed bumps when they run around the house lol. Also it will save my chairs lol
April 30th, 2012 at 9:58 am
These are great sure would love to take one home!!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:58 am
if you could see the arms on my sofa, you’d know why i need these.
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Sparky’s already doing serious damage to his new scratch post, so another place to scratch that isn’t the carpeting on the stairs would be most welcome!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
So simple and so cute….
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
My little princess’s scratching post is almost 2 years old, and it’s looking so much worse from wear! The sisal ropes are falling off, and when she scratches it, she gives me a forlorn look of “What is this?”
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
My big black Rascal would love this. He starts running when he wants to tease the dog and sometimes can’t stop until he hits the wall!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
My Kitty Summer (fondly referred to Sumpty Dumpty instead of Humpty Dumpty)chases me around the house (and runs into everything on her way). She certainly can use a speed bump and these look wonderful. Added bonus is the fact she can scratch these instead of my rugs!
April 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
They need a speed bump so they stop attacking my rug!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:00 am
Help save my new rug!!! I have 3 kitties who would love this cool scratcher.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:00 am
My cats would love this! You can never have too many scratching posts
April 30th, 2012 at 10:00 am
I’ve got two sweet kitties who chase each other back and forth — kitchen, living room, study, living room, kitchen, living room, study — ad nauseam. Let’s slow them kitties down! (or at least give them a hurdle they have to jump!).
April 30th, 2012 at 10:00 am
My kitty’s scratching post is falling apart, and I haven’t had the time to fix it or get her a new one. She NEEDS this…
April 30th, 2012 at 10:01 am
My kitties need a speed bump to slow each other down and its a great spot to turn for paw to paw combat — LOL
April 30th, 2012 at 10:01 am
My 2 kitties need a Kitty Speed Bump to slow them down and prevent them from speeding through the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
With 4 kitties, we have numerous reasons to need this….I think they would LOVE to scratch and lay on the speed bump!!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
Our kitty Zelda loves to zoom through our apartment and perhaps this would slow her crazy speed. I think she would fancy the Speed Bump for scratching, as well.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
This would keep Ollie happy, since the shape would discourage Aria, our resident evil old witch cat from sleeping on it and attacking anyone who comes too close as she does the turbo scratcher. It’s a catch 22 for poor Ollie, if he goes to near the sleeping lump he gets scratched and if he uses a chair he gets sprayed with water!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
I need one for my kitties, because they would drag it into the hallway and laugh when I trip over it. I think the evil kitties don’t think I trip over the black cat in the dead of night enough.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
What a cute name… I’ll need about 5 to go down the racetrack,er, hallway. My kids would love this.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:02 am
My cats really need this! We recently moved from a country home with acreage into a small apartment. They are going nuts being indoors all the time! Help! Thanks Modern Cat for the opportunity to win a speed bump.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
What a cute idea, anything to keep kittie nails off the couch!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
What a COOL idea!!! My cat Calvin would love this and it would also match my newly renovated house. Thanks
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
Looks pretty comfy for humans too!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
This would be great for my little speed demon, who goes on a tear through the apartment! I’ve yet to find anything to slow him down; maybe this would entice him to stop for a few minutes!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
I hate speed bumps when I am driving, but we would love one around the house for cats.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
My kitties need speed “mountains”!!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS…WITH ALL OF MY RESCUES RUNNING AROUND, THIS WOULD SLOW THEM DOWN (A LITTLE) FOR SURE!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
speed bump please! just what the bengal girl ordered.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
My cats will put this to good use.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:03 am
Omigosh…we totally need a kitty speed bump!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:04 am
Super cool! I can see that kitties really enjoy this scratcher!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:04 am
We totally need more scratching posts around this house!!!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:05 am
i would so love if my kitties used these instead of my loveseat & chairs!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:05 am
This would go well on any road in our house! Thanks!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:05 am
Our cats would totally love this! They are so into the cardboard scratchies in all forms.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
We could really use this here! We got the zoomies today!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
My 8, yes 8 cats would love this! And, slowing down the races in the hallway would make me happy, too!=D
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
The house feels like a racing circuit sometimes!
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
a speed bump to slow down potential couch-scratching! perfect.
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
My two boys could definitely use a speed bump diversion
April 30th, 2012 at 10:06 am
Oh my goodness, I wonder if these will really stop all the running around that goes on at 3am in my apartment.
