ABSTRACT:
A cat scratching post includes a cylindrical carrier (1) covered by a length of rope (3) which is helically closewound between end cheeks (2a, 2b). A backing plate (4) for attachment to a wall has two support walls (6a and 6b) extending from its front face, and the walls have opposed recesses (9 and 10) to receive the end cheeks (2a), (2b). The upper wall (6a) receives a pin (12) secured to a knob (13), and the pin is received in a corresponding hole in the upper end cheek (2a). The pin (12) normally prevents the carrier (1) from rotating, but provision is also made for the carrier to be rotated to ensure even wear, and for the carrier to be removed for replacement.
