PRIORITY CLAIM 
       [0001]    This application claims priority from provisional patent application No. 62/155,899 filed on 1 May 2015 titled CAT BED AND SUPPORT. 
     
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The invention relates to an apparatus that can be adjustably mounted to a wall with a material or fabric disposed between the mounting means. Cats or other pets may rest on the material or fabric. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Currently cat beds are usually placed on the floor, or are semi-puffy enclosures similar to dog beds. 
         [0004]    There exists a need for a cat bed or support that can be easily and decoratively mounted to a wall at varied heights and locations, and a cat to lay upon a material between two mounting members. 
         [0005]    There exists a need for a cat bed that has two mounting means separated by a fabric on which a cat can rest. 
         [0006]    There exists a need for a cat bed having two pegs per bracket, that holds material between the bracket by the top of the bracket being positioned on the bottom to press against the material to hold the material in place. 
         [0007]    There exists a need for a cat bed having material having grommets in different locations so that the brackets can be positioned at different distances from each other using the same piece of material. 
         [0008]    Multiple embodiments of the system are disclosed herein. It will be understood that other objects and purposes of the invention, and variations thereof, will be apparent upon reading the following specification and inspecting the accompanying drawings. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0009]    One aspect of the present invention is a cat bed and support system, comprising: a bed portion having a grommet; a wall support bottom having a peg extending upwardly therefrom; a wall support top having a recess to receive said peg; and whereby said grommet is removably disposed over said peg. 
         [0010]    These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.

For example, the words “upwardly,” “downwardly,” “rightwardly,” and “leftwardly” will refer to directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words “inwardly” and “outwardly” will refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the system and designated parts. Said terminology will include the words specifically mentioned, derivatives, and similar words. 
         [0035]      FIG. 1  illustrates an embodiment of the cat bed  10  of the present invention  10 . The cat bed  10  may be comprised of at least two brackets  90  and a bed portion  20  between the brackets  90 . The bed portion  20  may be made from cloth. In one embodiment the bed portion  10  is canvas. The brackets  90  may be made from solid wood. The bracket  90  may have a bracket top  30  and a bracket bottom  40 . The bottom bracket  40  may have a mounting slot  110 . The bed portion  20  may have grommets  70  therein. In one embodiment the grommets  70  pairs of grommets  70  one may be near the bed portion rear  140  and the other near the bed portion front  150 . There may be one or more pairs of grommets  70 . 
         [0036]    A seen in  FIG. 2 , an L-shaped support  100  may have a substantially vertical arm  120  and a horizontal arm  130 . The horizontal arm  130  may be disposed through the mounting slot  110  of the bottom bracket  40 . The vertical arm  120  of the L-shaped support  100  may be screwed to the wall with common screws or screws and anchors. 
         [0037]      FIG. 2  also illustrates the bottom bracket  40  having two pegs  50  that extend upwardly to go through the grommets  70  to hold the bed portion  20  in place on the bottom bracket  40 . A top bracket  30  may have two apertures  60  to fit over the pegs  50 . When the grommets  70  are over the pegs  50  and with the bracket top  30  resting on the bracket bottom  40  the bed portion  20  is securely in place. 
         [0038]    In one embodiment the pairs of grommets  70  are spaced 4 inches apart to allow for the brackets  90  to be mounted to studs at either 16 inches or 24 inches apart. 
         [0039]      FIG. 2  illustrates an embodiment of a bracket bottom  40  having a peg  50  extending upwardly therefrom to be received by an aperture  60  in the bracket top  30 . The wall bracket top  30  may rest on the bracket bottom  40 . 
         [0040]    In another embodiment the wall support top  30  may snap into the wall support bottom  40 , similar to that of a toy&#39;s battery case cover. 
         [0041]      FIG. 2  also illustrates the bracket bottom rear wall  160  that extends upwardly higher than the bracket bottom face  190 . Opposite the bottom bracket rear wall  160  is the bottom bracket front wall  170  that also may extend higher than the bracket bottom face  190 . The bracket bottom front wall  170  may extend upwardly from the bracket bottom face  190 , then forwardly, then downwardly to define a front lip  200 . 
         [0042]    The bottom bracket front wall  170  may be substantially perpendicular with respect to the bracket bottom face  190 . The bottom bracket rear wall  160  may be substantially perpendicular with respect to the bracket bottom face  190 . 
         [0043]    The bracket top  30  may have a cut-out that mates with the front lip  200  and fits between the front lip  200  and the rear wall  160 . 
         [0044]    Similarly, the bottom bracket rear wall  160  may extend upwardly from the bracket bottom face  190 , then rearwardly, then downwardly to define a rear lip  210 . 
         [0045]      FIG. 3  illustrates another embodiment, whereby there are three brackets  90  and two bed portions  20 . Similarly, there can be several brackets  90  and bed portions  20 . 
         [0046]    Although particular preferred embodiments of the invention have been discussed in detail for illustrative purposes, it will be recognized that variations or modifications of the disclosed apparatus, including the rearrangement of parts, lie within the scope of the present invention.
