Laravel 5.6 model extends other model

In my package I have come model with it own namespace

<?php

namespace Nosennij\LaravelCategoryMenuAndBreadcrumbs\models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Category extends Model
{
    public function scopeMain($query)
    {
        return $query->where('parent_id', 0);
    }

    public function subcategories(){
        return $this->hasMany(Category::class, 'parent_id');
    }

    public function parent(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Category::class, 'parent_id');
    }
}

When I install package it will be good if I do not copy this model to app folder and do not change namespace to App. It will be better to extend this model from package imporing all parent methods. I try to do it next way 1) php artisan make:model Category 2) try to extend

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nosennij\LaravelCategoryMenuAndBreadcrumbs\models\Category as ParentCategory;

class Category extends ParentCategory
{
    public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
    {
        parent::__construct($attributes);
        parent::boot();
    }
    //my own new methods or methods rewriting parent methods
}

How can I do it?

enter image description here

So in controller I want to use App\Category; and want to have acces to scopeMain, subcategories, parent methods from package model in vendor/nosennij/laravel-catmenubread/models/Category.php

Working variant- https://github.com/n-osennij/laravel-category

In your package move your models directory under src and capitalize the M e.g. src/Models/Category.php.

Then change the namespace in Category to be:

namespace Nosennij\LaravelCategoryMenuAndBreadcrumbs\Models;

Then in your Category class in your app directory change it to be:

use Nosennij\LaravelCategoryMenuAndBreadcrumbs\Models\Category as ParentCategory;

class Category extends ParentCategory
