How can you replace the rope on it that cat has torn off? I already have a cat tree, but cat has shredded most of the rope on it.

I have given 2 of these as gifts and have kept one for myself. The ropes are good on all. Even so, I just checked mine and the rope is attached by a heavy duty staple on the under side of the above platform.

My rope broke the first week I had it. I would go to a fabric store and try to find something similar to it and staple it to the tree.Its just an Idea.

Our mouse did not hold up either. My other Cat 'N'Mo0use was over 12 years old before the mouse disintegrated like this one. I can't figure out how to replace it either.

I suppose it's possible, but not very probable. More likely if the cat was determined to get out, its claws would get wrapped around in the mesh instead of actually fraying it. The mesh is of stern material but flexible in contruct.

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

i have a couple cats and i think they would destroy this fabric. if it's a pole you are creating, you might be able to do what i did and use cubicle fabric. the pole i built is 8 feet high and give the cats access to a deck they use all the time to preside over the loft. 4 layers banded with zip ties has worked for a couple years. alternately, you may consider using rope adhered with electrical wire staples. finally, you could use the burlap if you were committed to replacing it every so often. the cats will enjoy shredding it.

Did tag get wet? The best thing to do may be to order a new one. We had to do that after the first one got wet from the water bowl. I sewed the second one onto collar as others had suggested. Ultimately though our cat wouldn't use it so we donated it. Good luck.

The toy is AWESOME - but I had the same problem with the string. First my cat chewed through the string. Then I had to re-tie it... now it keeps bunching up. It's so frustrating because this is honestly the most awesome toy my cats have ever had and they are 11-12 years old and are (were) jumping around like kittens!!!!!! I would like to play with them more but I can't get it to "flutter" at all. There has to be a better rope!!!! This toy is soooo close to perfect!

The condo itself will last but the sisal rope is terrible. Within 3 months mine started "shedding" 2-3 inch pieces of rope which is a choking hazard for the cats. Plus the platforms are too small even for my 10 lb cat. So, I would spend a bit more and get a better one.

I found the paper that came inside the tree, and the manufacturer is Go Petclub. Has website listed as www.gopetclub.com. Haven't checked website, but you should start there and contact them if no replacements are listed. The model number of the cat tree is: F-2040.

There is a repair kit available for the da bird. The repair kit adds a swivel to the top of the ope, which GREATLY reduces the ability of the string to wrap on the pole or knot as much. It repair kit is on Amazon here: Flying Frenzy / Da Bird Cat Toy Cord Repair Kit

Our cat tree had a loop to tie a toy to. If yours doesn't have one a picture frame eye hook screwed under the shelf would work.

The wands no problem, my cats have abused it with no breakage. What needs to be a replacement part or better yet an aftermarket part is the yellow polyester/nylon cover. My cats tore the hem off and now it bunches up and won't lay flat. It don't do it's job to good no more! Somebody, there's a market here, the covers wear out the toy still works!

Mine is glued. There are no staples in mine for the cats to catch their claws in or to obsess over and try to pull out.

I had the same thing happen. My two cats just batted it over and one rolled it while the other ate. I asked the same question. How can I keep this thing from getting knocked over? I got no answer.

Your kitty should totally enjoy being able to jump between the levels with no problem. At least you won't have to deal with the sisal rope coming off since he won't be clawing it. If he needs an incentive to get to the higher levels, try putting some catnip in the carpet.

I'm not at the home with the cat tree, but if I recall, there is a small hook that you tie the ball string to. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The string is plastic cording. My cat normally chews string too, but hasn't noticed it at all. I think because its under tension. If your cat chews and notices the cord, I would assume it will be chewed.
