Abstract

This multi-functioning, telescopic, pet ensemble purposes a foundational enclosure for positioning one; and multiple, annular devices into vertical pillars, with a simple twist. The first device can house a second device within its' core and support a flat embodiment, near its upper end. The second device can be telescoped to incremental elevations, that achieve full extension and its' surface can support one; and multiple, modular-hinged, open-channel collars that can receive a flat embodiment in each respective collar; for static positions, and be swiveled in 360° degrees. This invention can be covered with any type of replaceable fibrous materials so ferals, domestic feline(s) and other small pets will use this invention repeatedly for resting, playing, eating and exercising on, instead of unintentionally destroying valuable padded home furnishings and scratching finished surfaces. Assembly is quick, without hand-tools. The ensemble is light-weight, very sturdy, carries easily and is eco-friendly.

Dependent claims

This telescoping claw post assembly is covered with carpet sections and rope-formed sections backed with hook and loop strips;

along the sides, enabling self-closure around each unit of assembly for feline(s) and small animals to claw-up and use, and when any section of covering is unusable that section is removed and a new cover is either wrapped around, slid over, or laid on top of that unit, wherein the entire assembly is comprised of:
a foundational base enclosure that holds one or more hollow, rigid, large-diameter tubular structures up-right;
from within the en-closure, and each large-diameter tube has a shallow, open-channel;
near its' upper end, that is open in 360° for receiving the pronged-end;
of a modular flat ledge, to be held level with the ground, and each large-diameter tube also has a small-diameter concentric tube within its' core, to remain un-telescoped and unseen, or be telescoped up incrementally-to-its' fullest height, after which, a modular open-channel collar is placed around any sufficiently available vertical surface;
covered or not, for its' open-channel receives the pronged-end of a modular flat ledge, to hold the ledges' length level with the ground, in a static position or be moved to any position within a 360° horizontal radius.
