Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0027] A modular cat tree, see attached diagram. Figure 1 - Figure 4 The system includes a base plate 1, a support plate 4, and a top plate 8. A matching block 207 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1. A support member 2 is provided above the matching block 207. The support member 2 includes a first connecting column 201 and a second connecting column 202. A bolt 205 is provided at the top of the first connecting column 201, and a screw hole 206 that matches the bolt 205 is provided at the bottom of the second connecting column 202. The bolt 205 and the screw hole 206 are threaded together. The spatial height of the cat climbing frame can be changed by controlling the number of support members 2. Matching grooves 204 are opened at the bottom and top of the support member 2. The matching grooves 204 are engaged with the matching block 207. The support member 2 is engaged with the support plate 4 through the matching block 207 fixedly installed on the support plate 4, and is also engaged with the top plate 8 through the support member 2. The support plate 4 is located below the top plate 8. At least one set of support members 2 is provided between the base plate 1 and the support plate 4, and at least one set of support members 2 is provided between the top plate 8 and the support plate 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the surface of the matching block 207 is provided with a limiting hole 208, and the bottom of the first connecting post 201 and the top of the second connecting post 202 are provided with slots 203. The slots 203 are connected to the limiting hole 208 and are the same size. The limiting hole 208 is engaged with a plug 209 that passes through the slot 203. The matching blocks 207 are distributed in a rectangular array on both ends of the bearing plate 4. The top of the bottom plate 1 and the bottom of the top plate 8 are provided with matching blocks 207 at corresponding positions.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the user can tighten the first connecting post 201 and the second connecting post 202 under the action of the threads according to the actual needs of the cat, so that a set of first connecting posts 201 and a set of second connecting posts 202 form a set of integral support members 2. According to the required height, a corresponding number of support members 2 can be added, thereby realizing easy assembly and disassembly of the cat climbing frame. Specifically, the matching block 207 at the top of the base plate 1 is inserted into the matching groove 204 at the bottom of the first connecting post 201 to form a snap-fit, and then the second connecting post 202 is rotated and... The threaded connection makes the first connecting post 201 and the second connecting post 202 form a whole. Then, the matching block 207 at the bottom of the bearing plate 4 is inserted into the matching groove 204 at the top of the second connecting post 203 to form a snap-fit. The installation method between the bearing plate 4 and the top plate 8 is the same as the connection method between the bottom plate 1 and the bearing plate 4, which will not be described in detail here. After the initial installation of the cat climbing frame is completed, the insert 209 is inserted into the slot 203 and successfully snaps into the limiting hole 208, thereby further enhancing the stability of the connection of the cat climbing frame.

[0030] Furthermore, one of the support corners of the support plate 4 contacts the ground through the ladder 3. The ladder 3 is set at an angle, and the slope and step spacing of the ladder 3 simulate tree trunks or rocks in the natural environment, stimulating the cat's grasping and climbing instincts and prolonging its stay on the cat tree.

[0031] Furthermore, at least one set of support members 2 is provided at the top of the top plate 8. The top plate 8 and the observation platform 9 are connected by the support members 2. The observation platform 9 provides the cat with a high viewing platform, satisfying the cat's habit of climbing and looking around. Through the connection of the support members 2, the observation platform 9 can be easily installed and removed. Users can flexibly adjust the position of the observation platform 9 or replace it with different types according to the cat's needs or changes in the home environment, increasing the functional expandability of the cat tree. In addition, the height of the observation platform 9 can be changed by controlling the number of support members 2, improving the flexibility of the cat tree.

[0032] It is worth noting that a rest room 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 4. The rest room 7 provides a relatively private, quiet and comfortable exclusive space for cats, allowing them to have a safe place to rest when they are tired, which helps to relieve their stress and anxiety and improve their quality of life.

[0033] In addition, the surface of the support plate 4 has a through groove 6, which provides a fun space for cats to explore and observe, satisfying their curiosity and desire to explore, and making their activities on the cat tree more diverse. A hammock 5 is installed below the through groove 6. The hammock 5 is movably installed at the bottom of the support plate 4 by ropes. The hammock 5 provides a soft and relatively independent resting place for cats. Cats can pass through the through groove 6 and stop on the hammock 5 to take a nap, increasing the comfort and resting options for cats on the cat tree. The hammock 5 is movably installed by ropes, which makes it easy to disassemble and install, and easy to clean and replace regularly, keeping the cat tree hygienic and providing a healthy resting environment for cats.

[0034] Working principle: Users can adjust the number of support components 2 to control the height of the cat climbing frame according to their needs. During assembly, the first connecting column 201 and the second connecting column 202 are tightened with bolts 205 and screw holes 206 to form an integral support component 2. Then, the matching groove 204 at the bottom of the support component 2 is snapped into the matching block 207 of the base plate 1. Subsequently, the matching block 207 at the bottom of the bearing plate 4 is snapped into the matching groove 204 at the top of the support component 2. The top plate 8 is connected to the support component 2 in the same way. Finally, the insert block 209 is inserted into the slot 203 and the limiting hole 208 to complete the lateral locking and enhance stability. The bearing plate 4 contacts the ground through the inclined climbing ladder 3 to simulate a natural climbing environment. The top plate 8 is snapped into the observation deck 9 through the support component 2 to realize the expansion of the field of vision and flexible assembly and disassembly. The bearing plate 4 is equipped with a rest room 7 and a passageway 6. The hammock 5 is suspended below by ropes. Cats can freely move between the private rest area, the open hammock 5 and the exploration passage, taking into account both behavioral needs and hygiene maintenance.
