Pet-activated signaling assembly

A pet-activated signaling device to allow a pet to signal a human, comprising:

• a base having at least one base column extending upwardly therefrom;
• a cover, associated with the base and having at least one cover column extending downwardly therefrom;
• one of the base column and the cover column extending into the other of the base column and cover column in an at least partially overlapping configuration;
• a biasing element, coupled to each of the cover column and the base column between the base member and the cover member;
• and
• at least one audio signaling system, activatable in response to relative movement of the cover with respect to the base.

A pet-activated signaling device to allow a pet to signal a human, comprising:

• a base;
• a cover, associated with the base;
• a biasing element, operatively coupled between the base and the cover and being configured to provide a positive biasing force therebetween;
• a selectively variable audio signaling system, associated with the base and the cover and being activatable in response to relative movement of the cover with respect to the base, the selectively variable audio signaling system including means for selectively varying one of:
• a volume of an audio signal produced by the device;
• a frequency of the audio signal produced by the device;
• and an audio pattern of the audio signal produced by the device;
• and
• at least one visual signaling system, associated with the base and the cover and being activatable in response to relative movement of the cover with respect to the base, the visual signaling system including means for selectively enabling the visual signaling system.

A pet-activated signaling device to allow a pet to signal a human, comprising:

• a base;
• a cover, associated with the base;
• a biasing element, operatively coupled between the base and the cover and being configured to provide a positive biasing force therebetween;
• at least one signaling system, associated with the base and the cover and being activatable in response to relative movement of the cover with respect to the base to signal the human;
• and
• the cover and the base being coupled to one another at a location that is circumscribed by the biasing element;
• wherein all operable components of the signaling device are coupled to one of the cover and the base to enable complete portability of the device.
