[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a cat tree, comprising:

[0031] The base plate 1 has a first through hole;

[0032] Support column 2, including base column 21 and telescopic rod 22, along the vertical direction ( Figure 1 (As shown in the Y direction) The bottom end of the base column 21 is installed in the first through hole and fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The top end of the base column 21 is provided with a groove 213, and an elastic element 214 is provided in the groove 213. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 can be partially detachably installed in the groove 213 and abut against the elastic element 214. The top end of the telescopic rod 22 is provided with a positioning plate 221 that can abut against the ceiling. When the positioning plate 221 abuts against the ceiling, the support column 2 can be fixedly installed between the ground and the ceiling.

[0033] The climbing tube 6 has a second through hole that passes through both ends inside, and the climbing tube 6 is sleeved on the base column 21 through the second through hole;

[0034] Multiple jumping aids 3, each jumping aid 3 having a first mounting hole near its side, are mounted on the base column 21 through the first mounting holes at preset intervals along the vertical direction.

[0035] Multiple rest platforms 4 are provided, each with a second mounting hole near its side. The multiple rest platforms 4 are installed on the base column 21 at preset intervals through the second mounting holes in the vertical direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, a cat climbing frame is provided, which is divided into multiple modules for easy disassembly and assembly. The base plate 1 is set on the ground, and the bottom end of the base column 21 is inserted into the first through hole to fix it to the base plate 1. In this application, in order to make the support column 2 adaptable to various room heights, the support column 2 is composed of a base column 21 and a telescopic rod 22. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 is installed in the groove 213 at the top of the base column 21. The position of the telescopic rod 22 in the groove 213 is adjusted until the positioning plate 221 at the top of the telescopic rod 22 abuts against the ceiling, so that the support column 2 can be fixedly installed between the ground and the ceiling, and the installation is completed. An elastic element 214 is provided within the groove 213. When the bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 is installed in the groove 213, it abuts against the elastic element 214. On one hand, this serves to support the bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 when it fails to abut against the bottom of the groove 213, preventing the bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 from being suspended in the groove 213, which would cause the support column 2 to be unstable and tip over during use. On the other hand, to satisfy the cat's user experience, the support column 2 usually needs to have a certain degree of swaying. The elastic element 214 between the telescopic rod 22 and the groove 213 allows for some swaying space while ensuring the support column 2 remains stable, thus satisfying the cat's entertainment needs.

[0037] The telescopic rod 22 uses a drill-free telescopic rod 22 to fix the base column 21, which is convenient for disassembly and installation and can avoid damage to the wall. The position of the cat tree can also be changed as needed to give the cat more room to move around. The elastic element 214 built into the groove 213 can provide support to the telescopic rod 22 when squeezed by the telescopic rod 22, which improves stability. The elastic element 214 also allows the whole structure to sway, but it will not collapse due to excessive swaying, thus improving the stability of the cat tree.

[0038] The climbing tube 6 is used to increase the friction for the cat when climbing upwards, and can also sharpen claws and relieve pressure. It has a second through hole, through which it is fitted onto the base post 21.

[0039] Multiple jumping platforms 3 and resting platforms 4 are provided. The required number is selected and installed on the base column 21 through the first and second mounting holes respectively. In this application, the number of resting platforms 4 is selected according to the number of cats the user has, and the number, spacing, and height of jumping platforms 3 are selected according to the size and age of the cats. Specifically, depending on the number of cats in the household, for example, if there is one cat, one or two resting platforms 4 can be selected. Then, the spacing and orientation of the jumping platforms 3, as well as the spacing between the jumping platforms 3 and the resting platforms 4, are adjusted according to the age and size of the cats to accommodate different types and ages of cats. Adjusting the position of the resting platforms 4 and jumping platforms 3 according to the cat's growth or body size allows cats of different ages or sizes to have different climbing and movement routes, enabling installation as needed.

[0040] In this application, the basic components of the cat tree are divided into multiple modules. Different components can be selected and combined according to the number of cats, the size of the cats, and their age. The components can also be adjusted according to the growth of the cats or the size of the cats, and there are different climbing and walking routes. The cat tree can be installed as needed.

[0041] This cat tree utilizes a multi-module design to better meet the needs of multi-cat households. Features include adding tiers, cat bowls, and cat beds. The modular design allows users to easily replace individual modules, ensuring each cat can happily play on a single product, avoiding waste and space issues. There's no need to buy new cat trees, and compatible optional components help cats better enjoy climbing. It can be assembled and installed in relatively low spaces such as corners under stairs, or utilize vertical spaces like walls or fences, saving considerable space. A wider variety of assembly components are provided for free adjustment, assembly, and selection.

[0042] By setting different heights for the jumping aids 3 and the resting platform 4, it can meet the climbing needs of kittens, short-legged cats, and senior cats, and prevent cats from getting injured when they are not strong enough to climb.

[0043] In one feasible embodiment, the base post 21 includes a plurality of connecting rods 211, with adjacent connecting rods 211 being rotatably connected by a connecting sleeve 212.

[0044] In this embodiment, the base column 21 is composed of multiple connecting rods 211. Different numbers of connecting rods 211 can be selected according to the different ceiling heights of different homes. Finally, the height difference between the base column 21 and the ceiling can be adjusted by the telescopic rod 22. Each connecting rod 211 has threads at both ends, and they are rotatably connected via a connecting sleeve 212. Using a rotating sleeve instead of direct threaded connection of the connecting rods 211 prevents loosening or breakage at the connection points over time, and the connecting sleeve 212 improves the structural strength of the base column 21. On the other hand, when the threaded connection between the connecting rods 211 needs to be replaced later, the user may not have enough strength or their hand may slip, resulting in hand injury. Using the connecting sleeve 212 to install the connecting rods 211 can prevent the user from hitting the connecting sleeve 212 or slipping out of their hand when the connecting rods 211 are replaced later, since the outer diameter of the connecting sleeve 212 is definitely larger than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 211. This avoids the problem of the connecting rod 211 injuring the hand.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 6In one feasible embodiment, the outer surface of the connecting rod 211 is provided with a slot, and the first mounting hole and / or the second mounting hole are provided with a protrusion 61 corresponding to the slot. The protrusion 61 can elastically extend and retract into the jump aid 3 or the rest platform 4. The jump aid 3 is installed on the connecting rod 211 through the first mounting hole and / or the rest platform 4 is installed on the bottom column through the second mounting hole. When the jump aid 3 or the rest platform 4 is installed on the bottom column, the protrusion 61 abuts against the groove to fix the jump aid 3 or the rest platform 4 on the bottom column.

[0046] In this embodiment, to fix the jumping platform 3 and the resting platform 4 to the connecting rod 211, a slot is opened at a preset distance on each connecting rod 211. The number of resting platforms 4 is selected according to the number of cats owned by the user, and the number of jumping platforms 3 is selected according to the size and age of the cats. The jumping platform 3 and the resting platform 4 are installed in the slots of the connecting rod 211 according to the required spacing and height.

[0047] In one feasible embodiment, a positioning sleeve 11 is fixed on the base plate 1, and the bottom end of the base post 21 is fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 5 The image showcases two climbing tube designs from this application. The plush particle support uses a clean, lint-free fabric that is easy to clean and more slip-resistant than wood. The sisal roll support meets the cat's daily needs for scratching and stress relief.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 5 In one feasible embodiment, a cat bed is also provided on the base plate 1, and the cat bed is located near the base post 21.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cat bed is used to provide a place for cats to rest and sleep at night. A footstool can also be installed on one side of the cat bed to facilitate the movement of older cats.

[0053] In one feasible embodiment, the resting platform 4 also has an opening on the side away from the base post 21 for placing a cat bowl.

[0054] The resting platform 4 has an opening on the side away from the base column 21 for placing a cat bowl. The opening can hold either a space cat bowl or a regular cat bowl. The transparent space cat bowl allows the owner to better observe the cat, while the regular cat bowl gives the cat more options for a resting place.

[0055] In one feasible embodiment, the inner surface of the groove 213 is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 is provided with an external thread 222 that matches the internal thread. The telescopic rod 22 is threadedly connected to the groove 213 and abuts against the elastic member 214.

[0056] In one feasible embodiment, a suitable cat climbing frame can be assembled and installed in relatively low spaces such as corner spaces under stairs, or it can be installed on walls or fences by utilizing vertical high spaces, which saves a lot of space.

[0057] In one feasible embodiment, an observation deck is also provided near the top of the base column 21.
