Patent Application
20210259201
The present invention relates to a cat mat which can draw cats to rest at a specific area and relieve the stress on cats, thereby increasing the convenience of rearing cats.
With the increase of population ageing rate and the decline of total fertility rate (a.k.a. sub-replacement fertility), people like to keep pets, e.g. cats or dogs, to accompany them and increase the joy of life. Pet owners usually set up a dog house outdoors or a box-shaped container indoors for the dogs or cats to rest and sleep.
However, when the conventional box-shaped container is used, it may cause the cat to be uncomfortable and anxious as the cat is confined to a limited space. Therefore, the cat do not like to rest in the area arranged or designated by the pet owner, but instead look for other places they like. Additionally, because the cat's body is covered with thick hair and has the nature of scratching objects and grinding its paws, if the cat is allowed to rest arbitrarily in an indoor environment, it may easily cause environmental pollution and damage to the objects.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a cat mat which can draw cats to rest at a specific area and relieve the stress on cats, thereby increasing the convenience of rearing cats.
The cat mat comprises a cushion body, a cat grass layer disposed at a top of the cushion body, and a wear resistant layer disposed at a top of the cat grass layer. The wear resistant layer is provided with a plurality of through holes.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cushion body is shaped as a block.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cat mat further comprises a seam layer to firmly bond and cover a periphery of the cushion body, the cat grass layer and the wear resistant layer so that the cushion body, the cat grass layer and the wear resistant layer are fixedly combined.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cushion body is a non-slip and flexible flake.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cushion body is provided with at least one positioning member at a bottom thereof.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one positioning member is a Velcro.
Accordingly, the smell exuded by the cat grass layer of the present invention draws cats to rest on the cat mat so as to prevent indoor environment pollution and damage to objects caused by cat resting, sleeping, scratching, or excreting arbitrarily. Furthermore, the smell of cat grass also relieves the stress and calms down cats, so the present invention increases the convenience of cat care and rearing.
Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As showed in
Accordingly, when the cat mat is placed in a desired position and in contact with the ground, the smell of the cat grass layer (2) exuded from the plurality of through holes (31) of the wear resistant layer (3) draws cats to spontaneously walk to the cat mat for rest which prevent indoor environment pollution and damage to objects caused by cat resting, sleeping, scratching, or excreting arbitrarily. Furthermore, the wear resistant layer (3) has the characteristics of wear resistance and scratch resistance, which can prevent the cat mat from being easily damaged due to scratching by cats and increase the service life of the cat mat.
Different from the box-shaped container, the cat mat does not confine the cat in a limited space and therefore does not make the cat feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the smell of cat grass can relieve the stress and calm down cats to make them happy and prevent negative emotions from adversely affecting their health. Therefore, the present invention increases the convenience of cat care and rearing.
Referring to
If the pet owner wants to take the cat out, the cat mat that is thin, flexible and foldable can also be carried out for the cat to dine or rest outdoors and thus prevent outdoor environment pollution and damage to objects caused by cats running, sleeping, scratching, or excreting arbitrarily.
Referring to
According to the above description, in comparison with the traditional technique, the present invention has the advantages as following:
1. The cat mat having the cat grass layer on the cushion body draws cats to rest on the cat mat so as to prevent indoor or outdoor environment pollution and damage to objects caused by cat running, sleeping, scratching, or excreting arbitrarily.
2. The present invention has moderate volume, less thickness, and light weight through the flake-shaped cushion body, the cat grass layer, and the wear resistant layer, so it can be easily laid on the ground, a tabletop or a chair surface to attract cats to spontaneously walk to the cat mat to rest.
3. The flake-shaped cushion body having flexibility can be easily folded and carried out for cats to dine or rest outdoors if the pet owner wants to take cats out. Therefore, the present invention has convenience in use.
4. The wear resistant layer disposed on the cushion body can prevent the cat mat from being easily damaged due to scratching by cats and thereby increase the service life of the cat mat.
5. The cat mat does not confine cats in a limited space and thereby does not make the cats feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the smell of cat grass can relieve the stress and calm down cats to prevent negative emotions from adversely affecting their health.
