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.

Abstract: A charade and drawing card game using dice to reference specific words or phrases to be charaded or drawn by players. Eighteen different words or phrases categorized into three letter groups of six words or phrases each comprise the inner rectangular surface area of each card face. The outer perimeter of each card face displays the markings of a standard poker playing card deck thereby allowing independent play of poker-related games entirely unrelated to the disclosed card game of charades and drawing. The three distinct dice of the disclosed card game when tossed simultaneously serve to direct players to a particular word or phrase and to direct players as to whether that word or phrase is to be charaded or drawn. Points are awarded for correctly guessing the word or phrase play. The poker deck markings feature is unrelated to the play and originality of the disclosed charade and drawing card game.
