Cats Celebrate Halloween with Spooky Scratchers & Catnip Filled Toys

Imperial Cat announces that they’re yet again expanding their popular line of Scratch ‘n Shapes to include even more Halloween themed scratchers. Their high-quality, eco-friendly and natural feline lifestyle products’ new fall inspired line will include festive pumpkin shapes, a spooky fishbone, a hanging skeleton, and several other spooky prints.

“We extended our line of products to include more holiday themed designs so pet parents can add to their festive décor without bringing in potentially hazardous decorations,” said Kristie Hamilton, Imperial Cat’s Director of Sales. “Traditional decorations can be choking hazards, but with our latest seasonal additions, owners can add to their holiday décor with pet-friendly decorations that specifically cater to their cat’s needs and lifestyle.”

Imperial Cat’s popular line of Scratch ‘n Shapes were developed to satisfy the feline’s instinctive need to scratch while simultaneously providing a place for the cat to stretch, play or even sleep! And thanks to the horizontal and hanging variations, pet owners can choose the shape and style that fits their cat’s scratching preference and their home’s space.

Scratch ‘n Shapes are made in the USA from 100 percent post consumer recycled materials and are 100 percent recyclable after kitty’s use. The honeycomb texture of the Scratch ‘n Shapes offers the feel of natural tree bark, so cats will instinctively sink their claws into the scratchers, instead of home furnishings. Plus, each scratcher includes a bag of Certified Organic Catnip to encourage the cat to play and to entice him to return often.

And to compliment the new scratchers, check out Imperial Cat’s coordinating Halloween themed Cat ‘n Around plush toys. Filled with Organic Catnip, the new Cat ‘n Around seasonal characters include a candy corn shape, a Frankenstein figure and a spooky ghost, and are made in the USA. Prices start at $9.95 for the new Scratch ‘n Shapes and $5.95 for the new Cat ‘n Around toys.
