Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to pet supplies, and in particular to a cat scratching board. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve and the number of pet owners increases, the market for pet products is also expanding. Among these, cat scratching posts are tools provided by owners for indoor cats to sharpen their claws and avoid the inconvenience caused by prolonged indoor living and the lack of timely nail trimming. However, most existing cat scratching posts are made of paper or sisal and other plant fibers bonded together. These materials are prone to carrying insect eggs, and cats often urinate or eat on them in addition to scratching. Therefore, cat scratching posts are not only more likely to breed bacteria and insect eggs and produce odors, affecting the health of both people and cats, but also easily dissolve in water due to the material, making them impossible to clean. Consequently, cat scratching posts need to be discarded after a period of use, which is quite wasteful. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cat scratching board that is not prone to the growth of bacteria and insect eggs, and is easy to clean, which is beneficial to the health of people and pets.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0005] A cat scratching board includes a cat scratching board body, characterized in that: the cat scratching board body is densely provided with a plurality of upward-facing honeycomb-shaped grooves; the cat scratching board body is provided with a first connector and a second connector, the first connector and the second connector being matched and corresponding in position; the cat scratching board body is injection molded from plastic.
[0006] The aforementioned cat scratching board is made of plastic, which, compared to scratching boards currently made of paper or sisal and other plant fibers, is less prone to insect egg growth even after prolonged use. Furthermore, when a cat urinates or eats on the scratching board, it can be directly washed without dissolving in water, effectively cleaning up urine and food residue, preventing bacterial growth, reducing odor, and better protecting the health of both humans and cats. Depending on the needs, different scratching board bodies can be connected using the first and second connectors to create a larger scratching board.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the cat scratching board body is in the shape of a regular hexagon. The regular hexagonal shape of the cat scratching board body facilitates more flexible combination of different types of cat scratching board bodies.
[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, the first connector includes at least one connecting groove, and the second connector includes at least one connecting block that matches the connecting groove. The connecting groove and the connecting block are respectively disposed on the side wall of the cat scratching board body. When assembled, the connecting block on one cat scratching board body can be connected to the connecting groove on another cat scratching board body. Typically, the shapes of the connecting groove and the connecting block match the shape of the honeycomb groove. After assembly, the connecting block can also be used by the pet cat for scratching.
[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, at least one connecting groove is formed on each of the three side walls of the cat scratching board body, and at least one connecting block is provided on each of the other three side walls of the cat scratching board body. This arrangement facilitates the arbitrary combination of multiple cat scratching board bodies.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the honeycomb-shaped groove. Typically, the size of the drainage hole is comparable to the opening size of the honeycomb-shaped groove. The through-hole design facilitates cleaning and drainage of the cat scratching board body.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the cat scratching board body is an arc shape, lower in the middle and higher on the outer side. The arc-shaped design of the upper surface of the cat scratching board body provides a more textured feel, making it more appealing for cats to scratch.
[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, a resting plate is provided in the middle of the cat scratching board body, and each of the honeycomb-shaped grooves is arranged on the outer periphery of the resting plate. When the cat is not scratching, it can lie on the resting plate to rest.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the cat scratching board body is injection molded from plastic containing at least one of catnip or catnip. Adding catnip or catnip to the scratching board body is more likely to attract the attention of pet cats. Catnip and catnip can be added individually or simultaneously.
[0014] In another preferred embodiment, the surface of the cat scratching board body or the honeycomb grooves are coated with at least one of catnip oil coating or knotweed coating.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are that this cat scratching board is not prone to the growth of bacteria and insect eggs, and it is easy to clean, which is beneficial to the health of people and pets. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0020] like Figure 1-3 The cat scratching board shown includes a cat scratching board body 1, on which a plurality of upward-facing honeycomb-shaped grooves 101 are densely arranged; the cat scratching board body 1 is provided with a first connector and a second connector, the first connector and the second connector are matched and corresponding in position; the cat scratching board body 1 is injection molded from plastic.
[0021] When in use, the aforementioned cat scratching board is made of plastic. Compared to cat scratching boards currently made of paper or plant fibers such as sisal, the plastic cat scratching board is less prone to breeding insect eggs even after long-term use. At the same time, when the pet cat urinates or eats on the cat scratching board, this type of cat scratching board can be washed directly without dissolving in water, thus effectively cleaning up cat urine and food residue, preventing bacterial growth, reducing odor, and better protecting the health of both humans and pet cats. As needed, different cat scratching board bodies 1 can be connected through the first and second connectors to form a larger cat scratching board.
[0022] The cat scratching post body 1 is hexagonal. The first connector includes six connecting slots 102, with two connecting slots 102 on each of the three side walls of the cat scratching post body 1. The second connector includes six connecting blocks 103 that match the connecting slots 102, with two connecting blocks 103 on each of the other three side walls of the cat scratching post body 1. The hexagonal shape of the cat scratching post body 1 facilitates arbitrary combination. When combining, the connecting blocks 103 on one cat scratching post body 1 can be connected to the connecting slots 102 on another cat scratching post body 1. Typically, the shapes of the connecting slots 102 and connecting blocks 103 match the shape of the honeycomb grooves 101. After combination, the connecting blocks 103 can also be used by pet cats to sharpen their claws.
[0023] The bottom of the honeycomb groove 101 is provided with a drain hole 1011. The size of the drain hole 1011 is similar to the opening size of the honeycomb groove 101. The through-hole design makes it easier to clean and drain the cat scratching board body 1.
[0024] The upper surface of the cat scratching board body 1 is an arc shape, lower in the middle and higher on the outer side. The arc design of the upper surface of the cat scratching board body 1 gives it a more textured feel, making pet cats more willing to scratch on it.
[0025] The cat scratching post body 1 has a resting plate 104 in the middle, and honeycomb-shaped grooves 101 are arranged on the outer periphery of the resting plate 104. When the pet cat is not scratching, it can lie on the resting plate 104 to rest.
[0026] The cat scratching board body 1 is injection molded from plastic containing at least one of catnip or catnip; or the surface of the cat scratching board body 1 or the honeycomb grooves 101 are coated with at least one of catnip oil coating or catnip coating. Adding catnip and catnip to the cat scratching board body 1 is more likely to attract the attention of pet cats.
