Pet perch
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for supporting a pet along trapezii and behind a neck of a user. In one implementation, a core assembly of a bolster has a middle section disposed between a first end section and a second end section, and the middle section positionable behind the neck of the user. An elongated body of the core assembly is positionable along the trapezii of the user in a horizontal orientation. The elongated body extends continuously from the first end to the second end. A padded body of the core assembly extends about the elongated body. A cover is engaged to the core assembly. A securing assembly has a first strap connected to the first end section and a second strap connected to the second end section. The core assembly is releasably securable to the user in the horizontal orientation using the securing assembly.
1. A perch for supporting a pet along trapezii and behind a neck of a user, the perch comprising:
a bolster extending between a first end and a second end, the bolster having a front side disposed opposite a back side and a top side disposed opposite a bottom side;
a core assembly of the bolster, the core assembly having a middle section disposed between a first end section and a second end section, the middle section positionable behind the neck of the user, the core assembly extending continuously from the first end to the second end;
an elongated body of the core assembly positionable along the trapezii of the user in a horizontal orientation, the elongated body extending continuously from the first end to the second end;
a padded body of the core assembly, the padded body extending about the elongated body and extending continuously from the first end to the second end;
a cover having a first side and a second side, the cover wrapped about the core assembly; and
a securing assembly having a first strap connected to the first end section and a second strap connected to the second end section, the core assembly releasably securable to the user in the horizontal orientation using the securing assembly.
2. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the cover is releasably engaged to the core assembly.
3. The perch of claim 2 , wherein the cover is releasably engaged to the core assembly with one or more sets of paired hook and loop fasteners.
4. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a wrapped section and a draped section when the cover is engaged to the core assembly.
5. The perch of claim 4 , wherein the wrapped section wraps about the core assembly and the draped section hangs distally from the core assembly.
6. The perch of claim 4 , wherein the draped section includes a first wing and a second wing connected by a middle drape.
7. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a first opening and a second opening, the first strap extending through the first opening and the second strap extending through the second opening.
8. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the padded body is separate from and extends about a surface of the elongated body.
9. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the padded body is integral with the elongated body.
10. The perch of claim 1 , wherein a first strap pad is positioned relative to the first strap and a second strap pad is positioned relative to the second strap.
11. The perch of claim 1 , the top side of the core assembly forms a seat for the pet.
12. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the pet is a feline, a canine, a rabbit, a rodent, an amphibian, or a reptile.
13. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are each connected to the core assembly at the bottom side of the bolster.
14. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body is adapted to evenly distribute a weight of the pet along the trapezii of the user.
15. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body includes a lumen extending therethrough.
16. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the first strap and the second strap form a single strap.
17. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the first end section, the second end section, and the middle section of the elongated body each have a same cross-sectional shape.
18. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body is cylindrical in shape.
19. The perch of claim 1 , wherein content is displayable on the cover at the back side of the bolster.
20. The perch of claim 1 , wherein the first strap is releasably connected to the first end section and the second strap is releasably connected to the second end section.
