ABSTRACT:
A cat scratching device for protecting furniture includes a protective frame which can be utilized by a cat as a scratching post and also protects at least a portion of a piece of furniture from the damaging effects of a cat's claws. The device includes a holding member attched to the protective frame for maintaining the the protective frame in a substantially upright position next to the piece of furniture. In one embodiment of the invention, this member can be designed as an outwardly extending foot which is placed between the floor and the leg of the furniture to hold the protective frame in place. In this manner, the weight of the piece of furniture helps maintain the device in place.
