If you thought that everyone and their dog was a DJ these days, you were almost right. This novel scratching post makes your cat scratch the hell out of some beats rather than out of your new furniture. Unsurprisingly, the Cat Scratch Turntable sold out rapidly after its release in November, so Suck UK has got right back into it and made some more. Now you can say, in all honesty, that your feline is house-trained.
