Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a configurable cat toy transformable between two different positions to provide different forms of the toy, including a first member, a second member being identical to the first member, a hingable connection operably connecting the first member and the second member in a first position, wherein the first member and second member are transformably rotatable relative to each other about the hingable connection, into a second position, and wherein, in the first position, the toy in a shape of letter A, and wherein, in the second position the toy is a sloped structure.

Claims (12)

1. A configurable cat toy transformable between two different positions to provide different forms of the toy, comprising:

a first member comprising a first member distal end, and a first member proximal end;

a second member, being identical to the first member, and comprising a second member distal end, and a second member proximal end;

a hingable connection operably connecting the first member proximal end and the second member proximal end in a first position;

wherein, the first member and second member are transformably rotatable relative to each other about the hingable connection, into a second position;

wherein, in the first position, the first member distal end and second member distal end extend divergently away from each other, the first member is opposite the second member to form the toy in a shape of letter A;

wherein, in the second position, the first member and second member are adjacent to each other and touching along their edges, and forming the toy in a sloped structure; and

wherein the sloped structure comprises a combined surface of a first member outer planar surface and a second member outer planar surface.

2. The cat toy of claim 1 , wherein the first member further comprises a first bar member situated between the first member distal end and the first member proximal end, and wherein the second member further comprises a second bar member between the second member distal end and the second member proximal end.

3. The cat toy of claim 2 , wherein the first member is situated opposite the second bar member, and the first bar member is hingably connected at a first bar member distal end, to the second bar member at a second bar member distal end.

4. The cat toy of claim 3 , wherein the hingable connection enables the first bar member and second bar member to be pivotably rotated to be situated adjacently to each other.

5. The cat toy of claim 1 , further comprising a cavity enclosed by a first member inner planar surface, a second member inner planar surface, a first bar member inner planar surface, and a second bar member inner planar surface.
