Abstract
The present invention is directed at a wire-cage mountable multi-part fastener adapted for holding pet accessories. The fastener can be securely attached to a cage by mutually abutted fastener's female and male portions, from the inside and the outside of the cage, respectively. When said female and male portions are pressed into one other by threadable means while having the cage's bars sandwiched between them, the resulting friction allows the fastener to remain in a stationary relation to the cage.
