A cat scratching apparatus includes a base and post and utilizes removable, cat scratching covers. A base anchor attaches to the base and supports the vertically extending post. A plug fits in a top of the post. A post cover wraps around sides of the post and has interfitting teeth and grooves for folding over the top of the post and covering the plug. A base cover folds over sides of the base and attaches to an underside of the base. The base cover also has a hole allowing the post to pass through. The covers are made of a cat-scratchable material, substantially cover the entire base and post, and are removed, discarded, and replaced at the end of their useful lives. The base and post are not discarded and are continually reused.
