Heavy-Duty Scratching Posts

The Cone By Wiski Is a Durable, and Elegant Scratching Post for Cats

— May 26, 2017 — Lifestyle
Cats are well-known for their tendency to scratch in unwanted places, but the Cone by Wiski hopes to change this behavior.

The Cone is distinguished in its design. Made to look great in your home, the accessory is available in four different colorways all with an elegant and modern aesthetic. It is tall, sturdy and made of a solid steel frame so that your cat can't knock it over when vigorously scratching. The cover zips on and off when it needs to be washed or replaced, meaning you will never have to replace the entire device.

The Cone by Wiski also features a sleeping nook so your cat can have a well-deserved nap between scratches.

3. Multi-functional Cat Furniture - Incorporating additional features like a sleeping nook in scratching posts can offer a disruptive innovation opportunity by providing a versatile and space-saving solution for cat owners.
