Abstract
A scratchable side table placed adjacent to another piece of furniture may include comprising a base, a table top, frame extending between the base and the table top, and a scratch pad removably attached to the frame. The side table may be formed in an L-shape conducive to extending around and protecting a corner of the piece of furniture from scratches by, for example, a cat. The scratchable side table can thus function as both scratching post for a cat and a side table as a furnishing, while at the same time protecting, for example, a couch, from being scratched. This scratch pad is intended for scratching by a pet animal.
