Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, in particular to a novel paulownia wood cat scratching board. Background Art
[0002] The Paulownia wood scratching board is a natural choice for cats. Cats sharpen their claws based on their tree-climbing skills. For thousands of years before domestication, cats sharpened their claws on trees and wood to improve their climbing skills, avoid danger, and hunt. Wood is the original material for cats to sharpen their claws, and it's also the species' choice.
[0003] Paulownia wood is scratch-resistant and doesn't shed easily, saving cat owners money. Compared to corrugated paper, which has a short lifespan, frequent replacement, and high consumption, this reduces cat-keeping costs. Paulownia wood is also less prone to shaving, reducing cleaning hassles. Unlike sisal, which is less sturdy and tends to break, paulownia wood cat scratching boards are made from natural, unbroken materials and are less susceptible to damage.
[0004] Paulownia wood cat scratching boards are made from natural, environmentally friendly, and pure materials, reducing health risks for cat owners and helping consumers avoid potential cat-ownership costs. Compared to corrugated cardboard scratching boards, which often use recycled packaging, the source of the raw materials and the storage environment are important. Mold and pathogens cannot be eliminated during the production process, posing potential risks to cats' health. Therefore, we have developed a new Paulownia wood cat scratching board.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of paulownia wood cat scratching board, including: a cat scratching board body 1, a food attractant placement slot 2, pits 3, and Velcro 4. By setting the pits 3 and the food attractant placement slot 2, it can have the dual functions of attracting cats and promoting their claw grinding and exercise, providing cats with a more efficient, practical and targeted experience.
[0025] In this embodiment, the cat scratching board body 1 is made of paulownia wood. The soft nature of paulownia wood is highly consistent with the weakened claw sharpening of current domestic pet cats. According to the measured data of a 15mm thick paulownia wood cat scratching board, a cat scratches the same area 5 times a day, and it takes 2-3 years to break, which is far longer than the 3 to 6 months of the service life of corrugated paper. The paulownia wood cat scratching board reduces the cleaning burden of customers and adds a wooden element to the home to create a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The original ecological wood material is naturally clean and hygienic, avoiding the conditions for cats to be exposed to pathogens and toxins, ensuring the healthy claw sharpening needs of cats, and catering to consumers' demand for healthy and environmentally friendly products. Compared with the mainstream material corrugated paper on the market, the choice of paulownia wood is more environmentally friendly, safer and more reliable. Compared with the recycling and reuse of various packaging cartons for corrugated paper, the risks caused by the mildew caused by the storage environment of the raw materials and the pathogens and toxins produced by fermentation to the health of cats cannot be underestimated. The new paulownia wood cat scratching board can reduce the chance of cats being exposed to pathogens and toxins, and stay away from the risk of health and illness.
[0026] In this embodiment, Velcro 4 is fixedly provided on the edges of both sides of the back of the cat scratching board body 1, which makes it easy to stick the cat scratching board body 1 to the wall, the ground or furniture, so that the cat scratching board body 1 can be stuck to the wall; the food lure placement groove 2 provided on the top of the cat scratching board body 1 can induce the cat to climb with the help of the strong temptation of food, and then effectively exercise its claw strength and climbing ability through the pits 3 during the climbing process. The pits 3 are designed to be inverted triangles inside and rectangular openings, and are arranged in a staggered ridge shape on the cat scratching board body 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the pit 3 is a rectangular groove, and other shapes (such as dot type) do not conform to the flat structural characteristics of the cat's paw. The rectangular groove is more in line with the flat structure of the cat's paw, which is conducive to the cat's paw grinding to complete the scratching and pulling actions; the rectangular groove is irregular in shape, some are vertical, and some are inclined at 60 degrees to 120 degrees, so that the five nails of the cat's paw can better find the groove that fits the nails at different angles. The inner side of the groove is arc-shaped and just fits the curvature of the cat's paw, so that the five nails of the cat's paw can achieve the effect of grinding the claws at the same time; the upper mouth of the rectangular groove is 2mm wide, 3mm-6mm long, and 2mm-4mm deep, which makes the pulling action more powerful, and the board surface is flat, making the cat's scratching action smoother.
[0028] In this embodiment, paulownia wood is soft and tough, with a hardness of only 300 pounds, making it a very suitable material for the perfect implementation of the design of the pit 3. The principle of the design of the pit 3 is carefully designed based on the full consideration of the reasons why cats sharpen their claws and their climbing skills, and fully considers the significance behind cats' clawing behavior. Cats' clawing behavior is essentially a necessary exercise for climbing skills. There are three types of clawing behaviors: first, grasping, which exercises claw strength and increases climbing adhesion through grasping; second, pulling, which effectively exercises arm strength and increases climbing endurance through pulling; and third, scratching, which exercises the coordination ability of alternating arms and increases climbing speed through scratching. These three behaviors are precisely the key elements necessary for cats' tree climbing skills. The design of the pit 3 fully considers the characteristics and requirements of these three behaviors. In the process of interacting with the cat scratching board body 1, cats can naturally and fully exercise the three behaviors, thereby better improving their climbing skills and body coordination, providing cats with a new paulownia wood cat scratching board that is highly consistent with their nature and behavior patterns.
[0029] In this embodiment, by setting up the food luring placement groove 2, the cat can be induced to climb with the help of the strong temptation of food, and then effectively exercise its claw strength and climbing ability through the pits 3 during the climbing process, and basically meet the cat's daily claw sharpening needs 4-5 times a day; through the inducing effect of food, the cat's acceptance and adaptation time to the cat scratching board body 1 can be shortened, allowing the cat to put it into use quickly, thereby reducing the trouble of consumers buying a new type of paulownia wood cat scratching board that the cat does not like and having no way to deal with it; by placing food in the food luring placement groove 2 to attract cats, it is significantly simpler and safer than the method of inducing cats by catnip or toys on the market. The catnip is only effective for most adult male cats and has no significant effect on female cats. The toy only provides entertainment and cannot effectively induce cats to produce claw grinding behavior. The design of the food lure placement slot 2 and the pit 3 increases the number of contacts between the cat and the cat scratching board body 1, which produces an auxiliary function of claw grinding behavior. The height is used to allow cats to obtain food, trigger climbing behavior, indirectly exercise claw strength, and exercise climbing skills. It can have the dual effects of attracting cats and promoting their claw grinding and exercise, providing cats with a more efficient, practical and targeted experience. It is an innovative expansion and optimization of the function of the new paulownia wood cat scratching board.
[0030] In this embodiment, by providing a food luring slot 2, the cat's hunting instinct can be increased. Before feeding each day, the cat is led to sharpen its claws. After feeding, the cat will form a regular and fixed scratching habit. When the cat is not paying attention, snacks are placed there. In the long run, the cat's hunting instinct is utilized, and the cat climbs and explores for food in its spare time, which produces an exercise effect and triggers the scratching behavior. In this way, the cat's scratching habit is eliminated, and the property loss caused by the cat scratching furniture and sofas can be reduced for customers.
[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the accompanying embodiments and their equivalents.
