With Valentine’s Day around the corner, our pets deserve just as much love and affection as humans in our lives. While we may spoil them every day, who doesn’t love another excuse to buy your dog or cat some more toys, treats, and adorable seasonal apparel? I know we do! Our pets are covered with candy corn cat houses and skull bandanas for Halloween, to patriotic attire for the Fourth of July, and just about everything in between.
There is a lot to choose from when it comes to seasonal pet accessories. With items like heart-adorned dog toys, heart-shaped cat towers, and must-have treats, pet parents can shower their pets with plenty of love this Valentine’s Day. But cat parents have one additional piece they can add to their pink-and-red arsenals that doubles as cute decor: PetSmart’s Whisker City Valentine’s XO Scratcher. Plus, it’s currently on sale.

Whisker City Valentine’s XO Scratcher, $9.97 at PetSmart
Shop it!
If you’re big on decorating for every holiday, this cat scratcher, currently on sale for $9.97, might just be the piece you’ve been missing. The scratcher is aesthetically pleasing with a light pink background, smattered with red and almost fuchsia-like pink hearts covering the front of the corrugated cardboard. The modern lettering style will complement a multitude of home decorating styles. This will be one cat toy you’ll feel more than comfortable taking center stage amongst your homage to St. Valentine.
Let’s not forget, not only is it an eye-catching design, but it also serves a purpose. If cats have somewhere else to scratch, whether it be on the posts of their leafy cat tree or a decent-sized scratcher, they won’t be going after your favorite armchair. The scratcher gives your cat both horizontal and vertical stretch points, giving them options while supporting healthy joints.
The 16-inch-long letters have plenty of space to perch and watch the birds outside, and the 9-inch height is perfect for getting in a good stretch. If your cat is a fan of slipping into and out of tight spaces, the letter cut-outs set the stage for a riveting game of hide-and-seek. They may also become a cozy napping spot for some of the petite cats. Both sound like fabulous options to me. Either way, this scratcher will shine in with your home’s aesthetic, all while keeping your cat happy and healthy.
