I am buying my second scratch lounge and the first one had cardboard inserts at either end that stuck out for cat to lay head. does this one have them

The lounge we have does have cardboard end pieces that can flip up, which I did not notice until now. They each love laying in it with the ends down, but will try now with it flipped up.

How funny.... I have 5 of these things and always thought that was part of the packaging, so we pulled them out. They lift out of the outside lower (short) edge and swing up and out of the box. On the other hand, it's very NICE packaging, if that's what it is, and looks just as nice as the rest of the lounge. Besides, all that matters is if the cat likes it! Remember... cats often pay more attention to "toys" that cost nothing... a rolled up ball of aluminum foil; an empty toilet tissue roll, for instance. Mere humans are useless for determining what classifies as suitable for play! ;o) Anyway, hope your feline(s) enjoy the lounge! =^..^= How funny....

I believe the inserts are part of the packaging, but we removed them because it is intended to be open. They were there when the item shipped. My cats love this thing like crazy. We have 3 of them around the house and one always has a cat. It's great to put a scratch lounger near your computer for cat to be with you, and not on your work!

I just put mine together. There's 2 cubies, 4 scratching posts, a ramp (another scratching type thing), 3 cloth toppers, 5 toys, and a bunch of connector pieces you use to make the cubbies. In all you can make 7 cubes. The material is cheap. My ramp ripped as soon as my cat stepped on it. The cubbies are thin and can also rip if your cat scratches them. My two cats love to play with each other on this and use the cubbies to 'dig' at each other. No rips yet since they're not suing claws. Toys are good quailty, as are the poles.

Yes you can put the cushion on the bottom and a scratch pad on top. Just make sure that you have a cat and not a kitten. As a kittens head will get stuck in the holes and a cats head ( 1 year or older) will not get stuck. Hope this helps. Great idea! Doreen

Yes, if you replace the cardboard litterbox insert they send you and get one that fits tight. Target has them and they are perfect. Don't buy the ones with the high backs. They will not fit.

Yes-- it has two-way hinges between the panels, and a wooden grid covering one side of the fiber-screening. Both of mine were very well put together. Lightweight, but not flimsy. I have four cats, and only had to tell one of them to not scratch them. The others showed no interest, so they are not a big temptation for destruction by cats.

I have the original PetFusion scratch lounger and that one does leave bit of cardboard, however, this jumbo doesn't seem to shed as much. It is still pretty new, however, but the cardboard appears denser on the jumbo, which suggests it may not shed as much. My cats LOVE all of their PetFusion loungers. Hope that helps!

I guess that really depends on how determined your cat it. My cat doesn't bother with it. It is made from a fleece type material. It doesn't feel like it is lined or the beads are in a case. If the fabric is broken open, I would guess they would go all over the place. I really like this tabletop and use it all the time, including now. I use the cup holder to hold other items more then I do a cup. It is only about 1" deep. I love the pen/stylus holder. Well worth the $10 I spent to get i.

it has holes on two sides as shown in the picture, but no holes on the back side. you may have to take the scratch pole out depending on the bunnies size. there's not enough room in there for my cat unless I take the scratch pole out. I hope that helps!

My cat has used it daily for almost a year, and there are only tiny pieces of cardboard sitting on top. If you have multiple cats there might be more scratched off.

It does not come with an insert. I use the breeze litter system by tidy cat. I highly recommend both for a litter free house. I used to sweep up litter every day and it was tracked all over the house. Now I use a small brush and dustpan to sweep up a few pellets from the litter enclosure once or twice a week.

It comes with a mesh fabric type cover. It ties to the 4 posts at the corners. No evidence of cats in our sandbox and we DO have cats running around loose in the neighborhood.

The catnip is in a bag. I used it a first, however, my kitten doesn't seem to care whether it's there or not. She loves this scratcher. She is only 7 months old and I even find her sleeping on it at times. I have tile floors and she slides it all over.

Mine did not either. I got 2 packages without covers. However, Amazon said the items should come with covers, and has sent out the replacing items which are on the way now. I am expecting them.

Ur right, the cats don't scratch on the "fur" but they like the string. One of my cats loves to scratch on it and doesn't cract on the couch anymore, but my other kitten still scratches on the couch some. He uses the condo to scratch on too. But they both love to perch on the top post and they love the little mouse toy that hangs from one of the post. They do love the condo. They climb on it all the time and sleep in it too.

I've had this cat for only 10 days or so. cannot advise specifically. clipping can be dangerous if not done properly. amazon has these rubber tips to put on the nails. I provide the scratch lounger to file them down. if you really think clipping is necessary, maybe a visit to vet.

I don't know if they do or not, I have had mine for nearly a year and my two cats have not worn any part of this cat tower out, they both love it and use the scratcher post all the time. I am a customer not the seller.

Ajay, Just remove the tattered scratcher circle, and put the new one on. Push it down so it sits slightly under the blue circle. It is amazing, we love it for our cats.
