DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cat attracting member which contains a powdered snapper powder to be applied to a cat's nail sharpener or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a lure member for cats utilizing a matal lobster, a liquid coating material obtained by powdering the larva, its roots, leaves, etc., processing a lobster tree, or storing a larva extract in a container is known. And the like are used. Also, various proposals have been made in which such a cat attracting member is used for an instrument such as a nail sharpener. Matata, which has been used for conventional cat nail sharpening, etc., is generally in the form of powder, granules or liquid, and is enclosed in small bags or containers. Sprinkles were applied to the object or applied to the object from the container.

[0003]

As described above, since the common snapper used for the conventional nail sharpening is powdery, granular or liquid, when used, for example, sprinkle with powdery one. There are problems such as scattering to the outside of the target object, soiling the surroundings, and accidentally spilling on a carpet or tatami mat with a cat's nail polish in the vicinity. Also,
Since the powder is a fine powder, the user sometimes sucks it, or the sprinkling surface is concentrated in one place due to excessive application. Even if it is granulated, even if the user does not suck, the drawback that granules are applied too much and the sprinkled surface is concentrated in one place has not been solved. When applying a liquid material,
There is a problem in that it is necessary to store it separately in a coating container, so that the cost is high, and when it is used, it hangs around and becomes dirty.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object that when applied to a cat's nail sharpener or the like, there is no problem that the surroundings become dirty by splashing or dripping around, and the object An object of the present invention is to provide a cat attracting member that can be easily and evenly applied and that can be configured at low cost.

[0005]

The cat attracting member according to the present invention comprises a solid member formed by mixing a powdered red snapper with a waxy substance or an inorganic fixing agent. Here, examples of the inorganic fixing agent include calcium carbonate, gypsum, and lime (slaked lime, raw lime).

[0006] Further, preferably, the mixing ratio (weight ratio) of the Pleurotus radiata powder and the waxy substance in the solid member is 1: 1 to 1: 2. The solid member is formed so that it can be applied to, for example, a cat's nail sharpener.

[0007] Paraffin can be selected as the waxy substance. In this case, the melting point of paraffin is 50-1.
The temperature can be set to 20 ° C, preferably 60 to 70 ° C. Other waxy substances include beeswax, carnauba wax, and scale insect wax.

According to the present invention, a conventional powdery or granular form is used when the cat is attracted to a cat's nail sharpening or the like by forming the cat's attracting member as a solid member formed by mixing a matal powder and a waxy substance. It is possible to easily and uniformly apply to an object without troubles such as spilling or dripping to the surroundings and soiling the surroundings like liquid or liquid materials. In addition, it is not necessary to use a storage container or the like, and the configuration can be made inexpensively. Furthermore, despite being formed by mixing with a wax-like substance, the attractiveness is not unexpectedly inhibited, and a good attractiveness can be achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The present invention relates to
A cat attracting member is constituted by a solid member which can be applied to a cat's nail sharpener or the like formed by mixing a pine roll powder and a waxy substance whose roots, leaves, etc. are powdered.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing an example of the external structure of a cat attracting member according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a solid member 1 is formed as a cat attracting member that can be applied to a cat's nail sharpening or the like, by mixing powdered red snapper and a waxy substance. Paraffin or the like can be used as the waxy substance. The solid member 1 has, for example, a columnar shape as shown in FIG. 1 and a prismatic shape as shown in FIG. The shape of the solid member 1 is not limited to the illustrated one, but may be any shape, such as a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a polygonal prism shape, as long as it is suitable for application to an object such as a cat's nail sharpener. No problem.

The procedure for forming the solid member 1 will be described below with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG.
Matata powder and paraffin are mixed in the ratio described below. Note that all mixing ratios of the substances shown in this specification are weight ratios. In this case, a hot water bath 3 containing the red snapper powder 2 is prepared, and the paraffin 4 is melted in the hot water bath 3 so that the red snapper and the paraffin have a predetermined ratio. In addition, you may make it mix | blend a matalabi powder in the state which melt | dissolved paraffin first. In this embodiment, paraffin is described as an example of the waxy substance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other waxy substances can be similarly used.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the matababi powder 2 and the paraffin 4 are mixed at a predetermined ratio and dissolved in a hot water bath 3 and the matabis mixture material 5 is poured into a molding die 6 having a predetermined shape. After cooling, as shown in FIG. 3 (C), the solidified Matabisu mixed substance 5 is removed from the mold 6 to form the solid member 1. A mold member such as a cylindrical member formed using parchment paper or the like may be used for the molding die 6.

Next, a description will be given of a mixing ratio of the powder 2 to paraffin 4. In the present embodiment, a plurality of solid members having different mixing ratios of Matatabi are experimentally created,
Cat behavioral responsiveness was investigated for each member to find a suitable mixing ratio. The ratio of Matabata powder 2 to paraffin 4 was set to 1: 0, 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 5, 1:10, and columnar solid members having a diameter of 1 cm and a length of 10 cm containing each ratio were prepared. And use it as test material. Release a plurality of test cats to the solid members of each mixing ratio, and chew (lick) the solid members, rub the body against the solid members, turn the belly up, etc. As the reaction activity, the cat's behavioral responsiveness at each Matabi content is determined. In addition, the cat's behavioral responsiveness, such as gnawing (licking) the solid member, stomach up more than the behavior,
Behavior is more attractive. Table 1 shows the test results of the cat's behavioral responsiveness at the above-mentioned matatabi contents. Here, a case where the number of test cats for the solid member of each mixing ratio is set to three is exemplified.

[0014]

[Table 1]

As can be seen from Table 1, the cat's behavioral responsiveness could be maintained even when the Matabi content was reduced from 100% (1: 0) to 33% (1: 2). However, it was confirmed that the cat's behavioral responsiveness was reduced when the Mathabi content was less than 33%. Therefore, if the solid member 1 has a matabi content of about 50% (1: 1), it is possible to provide a cat attracting member that can sufficiently withstand practical use. In other words, the mixing ratio of the matata powder and the waxy substance is 1: 1 to 1
If the ratio is 1: 2, a sufficient attracting effect can be obtained, and a cat attracting member that can be easily applied to an object such as a nail sharpener can be configured.

The solid member 1 having the function of attracting cats formed as described above is used, for example, by applying it to the surface of a nail sharpener 7 as shown in FIG. At this time, the user grasps the solid member 1 and presses the solid member 1 against the nail sharpener 7 to apply the attracted substance to the nail sharpener 7 easily and uniformly.
Can be applied.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the cat attracting member is formed of a solid member, so that when it is applied to a nail sharpener or the like, it scatters around like a powdery material conventionally used. It is possible to prevent a cat from accidentally spilling on a carpet or a tatami mat and polishing the area around the area with a nail, or soiling the area around a nail sharpener or the like without dripping like a liquid.

[0018] In addition, since the matatabi powder does not soar during use, there is no danger of suction by the user, and the handleability is good. In addition, since a container for storing the liquid is not required, it can be configured at lower cost. Further, even when the content of the red snapper is small, a higher attraction effect can be exhibited as compared with a conventional powder or liquid.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cat attracting member is a solid member formed by mixing the red snapper powder with a wax-like substance or an inorganic fixing agent, so that the cat's claw can be obtained. When applying to sharpening, etc., there is no problem such as spilling or dripping around and soiling the surroundings, it is possible to apply evenly and easily to the target object, and it is possible to attract cats that can be configured at low cost There is an effect that a member can be provided.
