Multi-functional reconfigurable pet enrichment system

A method of providing a pet enrichment system comprising a base and a top covering having a plurality of semi-permanent fasteners affixed on a lower surface of the top covering and at least three openings in the top covering, the method comprising:

• selecting a pliable continuous landscape of a plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums operating in a three-dimensional space into which to configure the top covering when the top covering is attached by at least a first subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners and a second subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners to an upper surface of the base, the selected pliable continuous landscape of the plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums being further configured to form an internal cavity accessible through at least one of the openings located between the first subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners and the second subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners on the top covering, wherein the internal cavity has space suitable for containing a companion animal and the at least one of the openings is of sufficient size to permit the animal to pass through the opening into the internal cavity;
• attaching the first subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners to a first set of locations on the upper surface of the base associated with the selected pliable continuous landscape of the plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums, wherein the semi-permanent fasteners are configured to each be coupled interchangeably to any of a plurality of locations on the upper surface of the base;
• shaping the top covering into the selected pliable continuous landscape of the plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums operating in the three-dimensional space, the three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums of the top covering providing a plurality of areas suitable for the companion animal be situated;
• and
• attaching the second subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners to a second set of locations on the upper surface of the base associated with the selected pliable continuous landscape of the plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums, wherein the attachment of the first and second subset of the plurality of semi-permanent fasteners on the upper surface of the base permits the internal cavity to be self-standing, wherein at least one fastener of the plurality of fasteners is attached to the upper surface of the base at a local minimum between two local maximums of the plurality of three-dimensional local maximums and local minimums.
