ABSTRACT:
A scratching post suitable for use by cats and other clawed animals which can be held in position adjacent to an item of furniture without physical attachment to the surface of the furniture. The apparatus is comprised of a horizontal base plate and one or more vertical members. The vertical members are arranged so as to conform to the shape of a portion of the piece of furniture which they are protecting and are attached at their bottom ends to the base plate. This base plate is then inserted under the piece of furniture. The weight of the furniture holds the base plate in place which, in turn, holds the vertical members in place around the piece of furniture. The vertical members are either constructed of a suitable scratching material or are covered in such a material.
