I'm already starting my Christmas shopping list (the early bird gets the worm, right?), and one of the people at the top is my cat-loving pal. So while brainstorming what to get her (and kitty) for the holiday, I came across the Scratch Lounge, and was totally blown away by the testimonials of how much cats love it!
At first glance, the Scratch Lounge is just a simple three-sided scratcher that doubles as a sleeping spot.

Attractive and modern kitty scratchers are hard to come by, but the Claw from Everyday Studio – handmade right here in San Francisco – is one design that can live up to that description.
If you're in need of a new scratcher for Sassy to take out her frustrations on, you're in luck: Branch Home is unloading their stock of the Claw Cat Scratcher at a discounted price. Normally, the Claw would set you back $89, but Branch has lowered their price to $72 – almost 20 percent off!

It's obvious that pet design is taking a modern approach these days, especially when I see things like this Leo Cat Scratcher that reminds me of a certain vase I've been craving from Target.
Totally different from other cat scratchers we've featured, this one is made of zebra wood and a polished, wobbly aluminum base to keep kitty occupied. I'm sure The Leo has made a home in a posh living room somewhere already – is yours next?

Cat Livin, makers of that sisal sofa and cool climber have previewed their latest creation, this wedge scratcher, at pet industry trade show, SuperZoo last week.
While I generally love their products (especially that scratchy cat cube we gave away in July), I'd have to see this product up close to be certain — it looks slightly less stable for vigorous scratchers but still sleek nonetheless. When it's finally up for sale, will you be buying one for your furry felines?

I'm a sucker for super-cute scratchers and not only do I have my eye on this one, kitty has her whole face on it. After all, a feline outline says "I love cats" in a much cooler way than a carpeted scratcher would do and, while it's on the pricier side, why not splurge on such a fun shape (especially for those cardboard fans out there). The Kittypod Mini ($98) is recycled and recyclable .

Ahh, sweet, sweet revenge! If your feline has an itch to scratch (your couch, your bed, your $500 chaise), and you don't exactly have the extra funds lying around to scoop up one of those fab and functional scratchable ottomans, then let your kitty have at it on this super cute, and totally affordable Dachshund Scratcher ($25) at least until you sock some cash away for that designer Kitty Cube - a must have for June!
This scratcher from Imperial Cat is designed to mimic natural tree bark with its unique honeycomb surface, and will keep your cat coming back to scratch since it's infused with pure and organic catnip, saving your drapes from mutilation.

I worry about scratching posts that look too much like my bed — how will kitty know to scratch this and not my frame and carpet?! I know I'm not giving her enough credit, as carpeted wood scratchers are all the rage and some of the sturdiest, sleek designs around. Take this Wedge model we previewed at last Fall's SuperZoo, it blends right into the room and looks stylish to boot.

If you've spent hundreds of hours and dollars trying to prevent your scratch-loving cats from destroying your fave couch cover, throw rug, or ottoman, then you know what a genius design this new scratchable furniture from Cat Livin is! It's a no brainer — your cats are going to scratch, so why not at least get some coordinating pieces that are going to stand up to all that claw-laden abuse?
Viesso, which makes modern, green, and totally crave worthy furniture on its own, has teamed up with Cat Livin — makers of the cool Cat Climber I featured a while back – to produce a line of scratch-resistant furniture made of high-quality sisal.
