Cat Window Structure and Method
The invention is directed to cat window structure that has a number of glass attachment devices. A shell is connected to the glass attachment devices. The shell and a section of a window form a housing. An opening is formed in the housing that provides access and egress for a cat. In one embodiment, the shell is made of a fabric covered foamed plastic and the glass attachment devices are suction cups. The shell provides a cradle to hold the cat, is inexpensive to make and ship, and the sling structure does not suffer from sliding when the cat jumps into or out of the structure.
1 . A cat window structure comprising:
a plurality of glass attachment devices;
a shell connected to the plurality of glass attachment devices, wherein the shell and a section of a window form a housing; and
an opening in the housing.
2 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of glass attachment devices are suction cups.
3 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the housing is made of a fabric covered plastic.
4 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the housing has a flange along an edge that abuts the window.
5 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the housing has a lower section that abuts the window and an upper section that is spaced from the window.
6 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the housing has a peripheral that abuts the window and a center section that is spaced from the window to form an interior space.
7 . The cat window structure of claim 1 , wherein the housing has a floor.
8 . A cat window structure, comprising:
a housing wherein a wall of the housing is a glass of a window;
a plurality of attachment devices connecting at least one of the plurality of walls to the glass; and
an opening in the housing.
9 . The cat window structure of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of attachment devices include a suction cup.
10 . The cat window structure of claim 9 , wherein one part of the housing includes a stiff fabric.
11 . The cat window structure of claim 10 , wherein a floor of the housing is made of a stiff fabric.
12 . The cat window structure of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of attachment device is three suction cups.
13 . The cat window structure of claim 10 , wherein the stiff fabric has an open top section.
14 . The cat window structure of claim 10 , wherein the stiff fabric has an opening on a side of the housing.
15 . The cat window structure of claim 10 , wherein the stiff fabric has a flange that abuts the window.
16 . The cat window structure of claim 15 , wherein the suction cup is attached to the flange.
17 . A method of operating a cat window structure, comprising the steps of:
forming a structure;
connecting a plurality of suction cups to the structure; and
attaching the plurality of suction cups to a window.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the step of forming the structure includes the step of creating a fabric covered plastic shell that when attached to a window forms a housing.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the step of forming a stiff fabric shell includes the step of creating an opening in the stiff fabric shell.
