A key feature of the device is its interchangeable clawing pads that don't need any tooling for their replacement. Another key feature is the selection of various non-damaging mounts. The mounts are designed to safely attach the device to different pieces of furniture or directly to the walls. These two features are the main advantages of the device which guarantees the protection of furniture and dwelling surfaces from cat claw damage. The device can be easily relocated and can be applied to a scratching spot already chosen by the pet thereby creating a comfortable habitat for the animal. In addition, various devices for cat development can be installed on standardized mounting base converting the scratching post into an animal activity and play station.
