  • Patent number: 8448601

The table comprises a concealable cat bed supported of the ground by leg and a concealable scratching surface. The decorative appearance of the table encourages placement within the living area of the home and in close proximity to regularly used pieces of furniture. The cat bed atop the furniture provides a comfortable place for the cat to rest and receive affection form a family member occupying an adjacent sofa, chair, or similar piece of furniture. Thus, the design of the furniture encourages behavior by both family and the cat that prevents the cat's scent from becoming embedded within a piece of furniture regularly used by the family.
