A kit of parts for securing a plurality of fixtures to an elongate support member is described. The kit of parts comprises a plurality of attachment members. Each attachment member comprises an aperture for receiving the elongate support member and a fixing detail adapted to attach a fixture to the attachment member. The aperture is larger than a lateral dimension of the elongate support member to provide a gap between the attachment member and elongate support member when received in the aperture. The kit of parts also comprises a plurality of locking elements. Each locking element is adapted to be received in the aperture in the gap between the attachment member and the elongate support member to secure the attachment member to the elongate support member by friction. Further, each attachment member is adapted to engage an adjacent attachment member when secured to the elongate support member by at least one said locking element to form a hollow column secured around the elongate support member for supporting a plurality of fixtures.

A collapsible dog basket is provided. The basket includes bottom and side walls made of plastic and flexible bendable joints around which the bottom and side walls are folded such that the dog basket has a collapsed position. The bendable joints are made of a flexible plastic material being more flexible than the remaining part of the dog basket. The sidewalls of the dog basket are directly connected with the bottom so that the collapsible dog basket is in one piece. When collapsing the basket, the bottom is pressed upwards between the side walls. The bottom has special air circulation holes to make sure that the dog gets the right air circulation while sleeping in the basket. The holes also prevent the body heat from the dog from getting in contact with the floor surface underneath the dog basket.

An animal enclosure including a plurality of members defining an interior of the enclosure. One of the plurality of members includes a first member having a frame structure and door assembly formed by a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. At least two of the horizontal wires of the frame structure form a hook positioned inside the defined opening. The door assembly is coupled to the frame and moves between open and closed positions. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door removably coupled to one another. The enclosure also includes a latch assembly for releasing the door assembly from the frame structure. In the closed position, at least one horizontal wire of the first door and at least one horizontal wire of the second door are coupled to the hooks formed by the at least two horizontal wires of the frame structure.

An enhanced bolster, such as connectable to a pet bed, comprises an outer cover having an inner volume, and a mechanism for attachment to a pet bed. The inner volume may be filled directly with stuffing, or may include an inner stuff sack. While the stuffing may comprise a wide variety of stuffing items, the enhanced bolster or bolster stuff sack may preferably be filled with a plurality of items supplied by the owner, and may preferably inherently include a scent that is desirable or comforting to the intended animal, e.g. the scent of a known person or animal. For embodiments having permeable bolster stuff sacks, the entire bolster stuff sack assembly may preferably be laundered, e.g. washed and dried, as a unit, i.e. with the stuffing retained. The enhanced bolsters may preferably be provided without stuffing, but with instructions on how to stuff the enhanced bolster.

A transport device structured to carry an animal includes a first component having a handle and a second component having a base and at least a first wall. The first component is structured to be located on the second component to form an enclosed region situated generally between the first and second components. The transport device also includes a cushion apparatus situated adjacent at least one of the base and the at least a first wall and a liquid resistance apparatus located on the second component and that is structured to resist penetration of a liquid from an interior region of the transport device to an exterior region of the transport device.

Various embodiments, aspects and features of the present invention encompass an expandable pet tunnel system. It is envisioned that embodiments of the solution for an expandable pet tunnel system may have components constructed from any material suitable for a given application, although preferred embodiments may be constructed from kraft paper. Components of an exemplary embodiment may be constructed of a relatively thick paper and reside in either a collapsed state or an expanded state. Pet tunnel components and connector box components may expand “accordion-like” according to a series of gussets or folds in the sidewalls of each component and then connected, one to the next, by aligning entry/exit ports to modularly build a tunnel system.

A window-mounted pet litter housing is described. The housing is equipped with at least one door, a front opening, a transparent rear panel, a ceiling, a floor, and at least one window anchor mount. The front opening facilitates access to the housing by the pet. The interior of the housing provides adequate space for the pet litter box, as well as space for the pet to lie down and peer through the transparent rear panel. Vented louvers are disposed in the left wall and right wall which provide ventilation while preventing rain and snow from entering the housing. A mounting plate present in the preferred embodiment expedites and facilitates secure installation of the housing from inside the structure equipped with the window.

A transportable combination pet carrier and pet bed that can be dually used for travel or in the home. The case includes a pet bed that is located within the case, allowing for the pet to recline on the pet bed. The case may also include: 1) a sufficient amount of breathable and porous material, such that the pet does not suffocate when contained in the case, including when the case is fully closed and secured for transport; and 2) soft internal siding.
