Newton: I have always loved my ess scratcher. It’s the best seat in the house!
Newton: I’m kind of rough on them, though. I went through several of them over the past few years.
Newton: The humans said they don’t make esses like they used to. One day, this speedbump showed up in place of my beloved ess.
Pierre: Whose best seat in the house is it now?

My human has our Ess in a place we don’t go very often – so it is still almost as pristine as the day it came here (which was long before I was born!).
Mum has just had to get up and look to see if we’d still got our ESS and the answer is YES!!
We’ve always wanted an ESS, but wow, we love your speed bump too! Decisions decisions… MOL
I had one, I liked it for about 2 weeks…Mom calls me the strangest kitty. I say I march to the beat of my own drum
Hugs madi your bfff

Astrid is our ess girl. It’s one of her favorite places to nap. We’ve never seen those speed bumps previously. We think we wouldn’t like it as much as our ess as you cannot get under it. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
We have lots of scratchers but we’ve never had an ess — or a speed bump, for that matter!
Wow I bet Ping would love one of those speedbumps! MOL
We never had an Esse or a SpeedBump, but both look like fun ! Purrs
As long as I can scratch it to my satisfaction I am one happy kitty. Have fun destroying the new speed bump!

Ewwww! I love my little Ess. In fact TW bought a couple since they were BOGO. Of course now that I know that, it’s history. Guess I’m not a speed bump kinda cat.
We have an ess and we hardly ever use it. It still looks brand new after 4 years. There must be something wrong with us.
That speed bump is adorable! As a huge racing fan I’m thinking we need one 😉
We don’t have an ESS and we think we’re missing out.
WHAT?!?! How have I been missing out on this ESS business?!?! My Momma never gets me the good stuff! I’m SCREWED! ~Bear Cat
ps – okay, okay. She DID give me a home when I was starving and homeless, so there’s that. But for real?!?! I need some more toys!
The ess and the speed bump both look like fun!
I’ve made a scratcher for my cat from cardboard and he really loves it. It’s not as stylish as your, but it gets the job done 🙂
You kitties always look so gorgeous in photos. Do you have any outtakes to show as well?
No ess here. We have a cardboard lounger thing that Lucy really adores, but no ess. Maybe I should get one!
