I don't understand where you're supposed to put the catnip! in the zippered area? seems rather primitive

I put this scratchboard on the floor, anchoring the loop of the rope under the foot of an end table. I just sprinkle a little catnip on the sisal rope on the cats are all over it.

I think you are supposed to put it in the zippered part. We just rubbed it on and under the twine wrapped around it. To be honest, this product did not work out too well for us. It swings (from the doorknob it is hung on) while the cat tries to scratch it. A stable scratcher would be much better.

There should be a zipper under a small flap on the end where the hanging rope is attached. We didn't use the catnip packet, though....we bought a catnip spray that is pretty inexpensive and works so much better. We sprayed all of their scratching posts and cat trees and they love it.

If you have a big kitty, you may want to consider buying a large plastic storage tote and cutting an opening in one end. This is what I do, I don't purchase commercial litterboxes anymore. 5 cats and no accidents with this method. Cats like to have a LOT of room in their box if you can give it to them!

To keep moisture. There are instructions where to place it. It I remember correctly it goes to the very bottom

it's on the cat's tummy. there's a flap and then you need a screwdriver. if they can't figure it out google the instructions.

Mango--No, don't take down the closet rod--that's what the velcro closure is for at the top of the bag! It's a little awkward, but it actually works great: open up the velcro strip all the way across the top, and spread the bag open as wide as you can. The round reinforced holes for the closet rod will then be open at the top, so you can position the bag on the rod. My assumption is that if you already have clothes hanging on the rod, you can actually place the bag around the hanging clothes--but I couldn't manage it; you probably have to be taller and more flexible than I am to do it this way. Anyway, once you have the bag positioned, so the open holes are more or less around the rod, seal the velcro closure at the top of the bag, closing up the rod holes as well as the opening across the top. I found it was helpful to have the bag unzipped while I did this, so I could reach up inside the bag and smooth the two edges together better, but this may not be necessary for everyone. You'll want to make sure you have those extra plastic rings on the closet rod as well, as they will help to lift the "roof" of the bag to protect the clothes inside. The whole thing may look a bit lopsided at first, but once you get everything sealed up with clothes inside, it works (and looks) fine.

Oh boy! I have two cats and so far so good, BUT....I also have a quilted pillowcase over it. Are you using the pillow with the side where you pour in the water facing up? If so that would make a difference. That side has to be underside of your pillow. Naughty kitty.

You zip it up ALL THE WAY - push the zipper under the lock. The end you grab on the zipper will be sticking out, but when you push the lock down to lock it, you will not be able to pull the zipper open. Make sense?

Hmm, I really don't know what to tell you because all cats are different I guess. My cat loved the thing before I had it put together. I know she partly loves being high up so she can look out my big picture window and watch the squirrels and birds! Maybe put it by a window, or even try catnip. I have friends who put catnip on their cat tree's and it seems to work. I'm sorry to hear your cats are not at excited about this tree as mine is!

Put cat nip all over it where they would go. I don't put my cats food on it though. If they have a bed I'd put it on one of the stands.thats what I did

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

It's not a good idea to put catnip inside- you never know what other cats will take the invite. Trust his instincts- he'll take shelter before he freezes. You might want to offer some type of food right next to the tube. Tuna or salmon works wonders! Good luck!

I think it serves to cover the zipper pulls to reduce the chance the pouch will open unintentionally. When I close the zippers, I park them at the top directly under that strap.

Maybe catnip? I don't know and took it off so they could play with on the floor. I was concerned they might get a claw stuck on it when playing and I might not be there to help them.

The sides only have one zipper, so I don't see any way to lock them. The top has 2 zippers which they can be put next to each other and possibly get a small lock through the tops of both of them. There's only about a quarter inch opening on each, so that isn't much room. I dont think it would keep somebody out if they really wanted to break into it. All they would have to do is cut alongside the zipper with a sharp knife. Since we're using the bag for geocaching supplies, it was not important to us that it locked. This would be a case you would either keep with you all the time or locked in your trunk. The sides only have one zipper, so I don't see any way to lock them.

Because there's no solid filling in the middle of the scratch material. If you look straight down from the top, you should be able to see openings. Basically, the catnip filters through the top layer, then falls through the middle and then filters through the bottom layer onto the floor.

For the first two destinations, it depends on how large a gap exists under your refrigerator and stove, and how full you stuff the hedgehog. Make it fat with catnip, and it won't fit into a narrow gap.On the other hand, our cat toys under the sofa tend to be there because the little girl kitty can squeeze herself underneath, but neither of the boys can. I've seen her lie in wait under a sofa or the low coffee table and swipe one paw out to grab a toy from the guys as they go by.

Look very carefully....it's there. True story...I couldn't find it either and asked someone to put an opening in it for me. She very carefully opened a seam on the bottom and attached Velcro strips to close it. THEN she found the zipper...a very fine zipper that's up a few inches from one of the edges. I felt really dumb! I'm glad you asked... I wasn't smart enough to do that! :-)
