The Twist & Turn Flexible Cat Scratcher doesn't exactly look like your typical scratching post. That's because it also doubles as a catnip-filled toy, so you get more bang for your buck. When your fickle feline friend gets tired of scratching its inviting Velcro-covered surface, he can bat it around awhile. These toys/scratching posts also twist, turn and bend, so kitty can contort it into all kinds of shapes and sizes. This feature enables kitty to control whether he scratches vertically or horizontally, depending on his particular preference. Choose from the bird, mouse, bug or dinosaur.
