Discreet Cat Scratch Posts

The '4CLAWS' Wall Mount Cat Scratch Post Merges with Home Decor

— November 10, 2016 — Lifestyle
Traditional scratching posts for cats are often large and something of an eyesore in a space, so the '4CLAWS' Wall Mount Cat Scratch Post is intended to be a more discretionary design.

The '4CLAWS' scratching post features a slim form factor that can be affixed onto virtually any flat wall surface in order to instantly add a place for cats to perform their natural scratching tendencies. The dense scratch pad is created using pressed cardboard and is intended to be used for extended periods without showing signs of wear.

Pet ownership is remaining steady in North America with many consumers keeping a pet despite living in smaller spaces like apartments and condominiums in urban locations. The '4CLAWS' Wall Mount Cat Scratch Post enables them to install a space-saving unit that will help to keep indoor animals happy and healthy.
Trend Themes
1. Discreet Pet Furniture - Create more pet products that merge with home decor to appeal to urban consumers with limited space.
2. Space-saving Pet Products - Develop innovative and compact pet products that fit comfortably into small living spaces to appeal to pet owners in urban locations.
3. Sustainable Pet Supplies - Design sustainable pet products that are long-lasting and eco-friendly to satisfy the growing demand for environmentally conscious products.
Industry Implications
1. Pet Supplies - The pet supplies industry can innovate new pet products that enable pet owners in urban locations to give their pets the best care possible in limited spaces.
2. Furniture - Furniture designers can collaborate with pet product manufacturers to create pieces that double as pet-friendly items, like discreet cat scratch posts for apartment living.
3. Consumer Electronics - Innovative electronics companies can create interactive pet products that engage and entertain pets while also being smart and space-saving to suit apartment living.
