Referring to the drawings, a cat toilet 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a case 10 and a scratcher 20.

The case 10 may contain sand (S) therein and an entrance 18 at the top. Specifically, the case 10 has a box-shaped structure opened to the top, and a second case 12 detachably fastened to the first case 11 and the first case 11 in which sand S is accommodated. ) Can be included.

The second case 12 forms an upper surface of the case 10 and has an inclined portion 16 capable of covering the inside of the first case 11, and a cat enters and exits the inside of the case 10 in the inclined portion 16. The entrance 18 may be formed to enable it. The inclined portion 16 may have a structure inclined downward toward the entrance 18.

In one embodiment, the inclined portion 16 may include a plurality of fastening protrusions 17 protruding upward.

In the present embodiment, the case 10 is exemplified as having a rectangular box-shaped structure as a whole, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the case 10 may have various structures of a cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape.

The first case 11 includes a first flange portion 13 protruding outward around an upper end facing the second case 12, and the second case 12 faces the first case 11 A second flange portion 14 protruding outward may be provided around the lower end. The first flange portion 13 and the second flange portion 14 may allow the second case 12 to be stably placed and supported on the first case 11.

At least one of the first case 11 and the second case 12 is the first flange portion 13 and the second flange portion in a state in which the first flange portion 13 and the second flange portion 14 are in contact with each other. It may be provided on the outer surface of the fixing means (15) for intimately fixing (14) to each other in a one-touch method.

The user can fix the first case 11 and the second case 12 so that the first case 11 and the second case 12 are integrally formed by locking and fixing the fixing means 15 to any one of the first flange part 13 and the second flange part 14. have. In addition, the first case 11 and the second case 12 may be separated from each other by releasing the locking by pushing the fixing means 15 outward of the case 10.

In this way, by having a structure in which the first case 11 and the second case 12 are separated, the sand S accommodated in the first case 11 can be easily replaced. There is an advantage that it becomes easy to clean.

Meanwhile, the storage container 30 may be further mounted on the outer surface of the case 10. In one embodiment, the storage container 30 may be connected to and fixed to the second flange portion 14. A sand shovel 40 may be accommodated in the storage container 30.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, a masterpiece D, such as Mondrian's work, may be put on the outer surface of the case 10 to realize a design effect when furniture is arranged.

The scratcher 20 may be detachably mounted on the upper surface of the case 10. The scratcher 20 may have a fastening groove 21 to which the fastening protrusion 17 is fastened. The scratcher 20 may be fastened in a structure in which the fastening protrusion 17 is inserted into the fastening groove 21 and fixed on the inclined portion 16.

When the user needs to replace or clean the scratcher 20, the scratcher 20 can be easily separated from the case 10.

5 schematically shows a modified example of the cat toilet. Referring to the drawings, the inclined portion 16 may include a blocking wall 19 protruding upward from the entrance 18. That is, unlike the structure in which the inclined portion 16 includes the fastening protrusion 17 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the fastening protrusion 17 is omitted in this embodiment, and instead, the blocking wall along the entrance 18 19 may be provided to protrude on the inclined portion 16.

The covering wall 19 may implement an accommodation space having a shape corresponding to the shape of the scratcher 20 together with a sidewall provided around the inclined portion 16. Accordingly, the scratcher 20 may be seated on the inclined portion 16 and accommodated in an accommodation space formed by the covering wall 19 and the sidewall around the inclined portion 16. In this case, the scratcher 20 may not be provided with the fastening groove 21.

With this configuration, when using the cat toilet (1), the cat can enter the interior through the entrance (18) provided on the upper part of the case (10), and after the toilet, it can be treated by burying sand (S) according to instinct. I can.

Thereafter, the cat may come out through the entrance 18, but since it must step on the scratcher 20 provided on the inclined portion 16 of the case 10 and climb, the sand (S) on the cat's paw is scratched ( It is separated by 20) and is moved to the entrance 18 along the inclined surface of the inclined portion 16 and falls into the case 10.

In addition, since the cat scratches the scratcher 20 according to instinct for clawing, the sand (S) on the paws can fall more reliably. In addition, it is possible to obtain a play effect through such a claw change, and an effect of relieving stress may also be obtained.

Meanwhile, depending on the material and structure of the scratcher 20, the sand S may adhere to the scratcher 20 and may not move to the entrance 18. In this case, the user may separate the scratcher 20 from the case 10 and shake it off so that the sand S may fall, and then mount it on the case 10 again.

In this way, the cat toilet 1 according to the present invention is suitable for implementing'enriching animal behavior'. Enrichment of animal behavior is to create a suitable environment by considering the wildness of the corresponding animal as much as possible, which satisfies the animal's instinct to relieve stress and prevents the resulting stereotyped behavior.

This enrichment of animal behavior is the most important factor in the coexistence of humans and animals, and the present invention has the advantage of simultaneously satisfying the cat's instincts of sand use and claw grinding by utilizing it.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains have learned that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features. You can understand. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not limiting.
