A cat scratcher system for providing at least one surface suitable for cat
scratching. This system includes a shell being capable of accepting at
least one cat scratching insert, the shell having sides, an opening for
inserting and removing the first cat scratching insert and a top and
bottom. At least one of the shell surfaces, such as the top, is further
characterized as having an open region for displaying a first cat
scratching surface of the insert to the exterior of the shell. The system
contemplates the use of replaceable inserts used as current cat
scratching surfaces become degraded upon use. These inserts can provide
alternative cat scratching surfaces. The entire system can be employed in
many diverse orientations by hanging it from a wall or door, lying it
horizontally on a floor or bracing it diagonally between a floor and
wall.
