Whether they’re Prince Charming or a total drama queen, all cats need a castle to survey their domain. Make haste with the treats, human!

This is one of the 20 patterns for tiny knitted cats in Knit Mini Amigurumi Cats! out now from David & Charles.

The pattern is worked in the round on double-pointed needles. Fingering-weight yarn is held doubled for the thicker carpet bottom of the scratching post; the other elements are worked inside out to minimize purling.

The mini scratching post is one of the first ideas I had for this book. All your other tiny cats will want to play in it!
