Abstract
A pet scratching post includes a base, an upstanding rod, and an upstanding removable brush with a hub and radial bristles mounted on the rod. The hub has a stepped cylindrical configuration with an axial bore in the larger lower section for placement of the hub on the rod. The brush is bell shaped, with a generally toroidal lower section and a hemispherical top. The base is a large enough platform that a pet in contact with the brush also stands upon the base, keeping the post upright.
