A [cat] scratching post feeder comprising a [dry food filled inner cylinder] first shell able to receive food with a [spring-loaded lower lid] tension-loaded door and a [carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch that slides over the [inner cylinder] first shell and rests upon the [inner cylinder's lower lid steel support rod] first shell's door support element. The [carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch rests directly upon the [lower lid's protruding steel support rod] door support element. Scratching action of a cat upon [carpeted outer cylinder] the second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch exerts downward force through the [steel support rod] support element to the [spring-loaded lower lid] tension-loaded door causing the [lower lid] door to open and dispense [dry cat] food. The [cat] scratching post feeder can be mounted to a fixed wall or [mounted to a free standing base] configured as a free standing unit. The [cat] scratching post feeder is a dual function device acting as a scratching post and as a pet-activated feeder.
A [cat] scratching post feeder comprising a wall mountable [dry food fillable inner cylinder] first shell able to receive food] with a [spring-loaded hinged] tension-loaded [lower lid] door, [a steel support rod attached to the bottom of at least one projection protruding from the lower lid] door, and a [carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch that slides over the [inner cylinder] first shell and rests upon the [steel support rod] at least one projection thereby creating a dual function device, [cat] scratcher and [pet-activated] feeder, which will dispense [dry cat] food whenever [a cat exerts] downward force is exerted on the [support rod] at least one projection by scratching the [carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch.
A [cat] cat scratching post feeder comprising a free standing [platform, with a weld-attached vertically positioned short length of hollow tubing into which slides a separate longer length of predrilled tubing, a dry food fillable inner cylinder] first shell able to receive food with a [spring-loaded, hinged lower lid, a steel support rod attached to the bottom of] tension-loaded door, at least one projection protruding from the [lower lid] door, carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch that slides over the [inner cylinder] first shell and rests upon the [steel support rod] at least one projection ep thereby creating a dual function device, [cat] scratcher and [pet-activated] feeder, which will dispense [dry cat] food whenever a cat exerts] downward force is exerted on [the steel support rod] the at least one projection by scratching the [carpeted outer cylinder] second shell with a surface that cats like to scratch.
