Abstract: A cat scratching post for cats and kittens to scratch and to climb, so that they avoid climbing and tearing furniture. It includes a supporting frame and a main climbing and scratching body portion normally held at an angle to the vertical wall of a room so that the cat or kitten can easily climb it, the body portion being formed of a main backing plate in the form of a wide channel, with a series of vertically stacked corrugated cardboard sheets extending out of the channel and secured adhesively or otherwise therein, so that the cats can climb up and scratch the stacked corrugated cardboard sheets.
