ABSTRACT:
A cat scratching post feeder comprising a dry food filled inner cylinder with a spring-loaded lower lid, and a carpeted outer cylinder that slides over the inner cylinder and rests upon the inner cylinder's lower lid steel support rod. The carpeted outer cylinder rests directly upon the lower lid's protruding steel support rod. Scratching action of a cat upon the carpeted outer cylinder exerts downward force through the steel support rod to the spring-loaded lower lid causing the lower lid to open and dispense dry cat food. The cat scratching post feeder can be mounted to a fixed wall or mounted to a free standing base. The cat scratching post feeder is a dual function device acting as a scratching post and as a pet-activated feeder.
