About 3,000 cats come to Battersea every year to find new homes and the world-renowned charity has been re-homing cats of all ages and sizes since 1883.

Battersea’s cattery team leader, Chrissie Lloyd-Smith, said: "Cats scratch to mark their territory, exercise their muscles and just for sheer pleasure, so why not mix that natural instinct with a bit of fun.
"The DJ deck spins as the cat scratches so this creative new cat enrichment tool is a great way to support our budding cat stars as they exhibit their natural behaviour."
Ms Lloyd-Smith said she hopes the cats can continue their new-found activity in the home, where they can "continue making sweet music and bringing their Battersea beats to life".
