Cat Cottage Assembly Instructions:

1. Unfold the Cat Cottage to shape the exterior walls.
2. Turn the Cat Cottage upside down.
3. Take a floor insert and fold sides and flaps up along fold lines. Repeat for all four floor inserts.
4. With the sides and flaps facing down (be sure the short flaps face the Cat Cottage entrances), gently press floor insert into Cat Cottage until it is level with the fold lines on the bottom of the Cat Cottage. NOTE: All floor inserts are identical.
5. Fold the flaps on the bottom of the Cat Cottage over so they are flush against the floor insert.
6. Turn the Cat Cottage right side up and face the front door toward you.
7. Gently push out the windows along the perforations.
8. Add another floor insert, with the flaps facing up. Align and fit the slots from the flap you are inserting, with the tabs from the floor insert below. You may find it helpful to place your hand in the window for guidance while aligning the slots and the tabs. Be sure level is secure before inserting the next floor level.
9. Add the third and fourth floor inserts by repeating step #8. Again, using the window holes for better access. Be sure to alternate the climbing holes to allow your cat access to each of the floors.
10. Lock the bottom door flaps in place by using fold lines, as shown.
11. Now your Cat Cottage is ready for your cat to explore.

Two of my three cats absolutely love this Cat Cottage. My youngest spends the most time in it as she loves to climb. She even sleeps in it!

My 12 year old cat loves this! He loves climbing from floor to floor as I tempt him with treats. And he loves hiding in it when he knows I am looking for him. I am going to order 1 Cool Place for another room in our house!

We were thinking of replacing a cat tree we had to get rid of a couple of years ago. When I saw this, I figured it would be great "temporarily." We couldn't believe it when we got it. It's fantastic. Our 3 kitties LOVE this thing, and every time you open a window, you can find someone in there. What a wonderful idea. Easy to assemble, and it's all cardboard so it's great for our little allergic ones too.

This is a fantastic house! Easy to build and very sturdy. My cat loves to hide in here!! Very impressive!

Our cat is a box lover. So, naturally, she fell in love with her cottage. She enjoys sleeping on every floor and looking out every window. She also uses the holes in between floors to rub down her face. I am ordering another for my daughter's cat today.

My cats love their Cat Cottage. It's very cute. This is a great gift for any cat. It has 4 roomy levels and is very sturdy. The windows are great for peeking and hopping in and out of. It's a fun place to sleep, chase each other, play hide-and-seek, and hunt for their toys in. It's one toy they really use and play with very often, which gives them hours of fun and entertainment. Great price and a very strong, sturdy cardboard construction.

My cat is a really big box-lover! When we found this in one of the Drs. Foster and Smith catalogs, we ordered the product right away! This Cat Cottage has four floors that can fit any cat! It's double thick layers don't move on the top floors. The outside is decorated like a stone building, so it will get compliments. My cat has a great time enjoying and exploring in this Cat Cottage. This product is great, and I think all cat lovers should try it!

Our two cats can't get enough time in their Cat Cottage! Our 13-year-old male still loves to climb, so the upper floors are wonderful for him. Our 12-year-old female likes seclusion, so the first floor is as far as she'll go. They nap or explore their cottage for hours! Strong, dark enough, and has windows for "peeky-paw" games or just checking up on what's going on. It's a perfect hide-out! It's strong and easy to assemble, which is important to non-cats! What a great idea!

My cat loves the Cat Cottage (as do I). It is very sturdy, and it was easy to put together. It is perfect for older or declawed cats, because they can easily hop from floor to floor. My cat, Lucy, really loves the window flaps. She likes to lurk inside and reach out and smack unsuspecting humans and dogs!

I have spent hundreds of dollars on things for my cat - but this is by far the one she plays with the most. She loves climbing through the levels and peering out the windows. She will sit in the top and wait for someone to pass by. I would recommend this for anyone looking for something to interest a finicky cat.

We're really happy we purchased the Cat Cottage. Both of our cats love hanging out in it, and our "non-explorer" likes to jump from the floor into the fourth story to look out the window. Hours of fun for our cats at a really reasonable price.

Ginger M
Leslie, WV

My cats LOVE this cottage!! Even my ten year olds who usually don't care to explore are waiting their turn to go to the 'top' floor. The weight limits aren't exaggerated either because two of my kitties weigh in at close to 20 pounds and the floors don't budge. Don't let the word cardboard make you think this will be a flimsy purchase. It is very sturdy. This is a great idea!!

My cat LOVES LOVES LOVES this! He was trying to play in it before I could put it together. He plays and sleeps in it. It's his new favorite place!

My 3 cats love this cottage it's so funny to watch them play and jump out the windows.

We purchased this cottage a few years ago when it first came out and our 4 cats still use it today. It has held up to their years of playing and sleeping. For the price every cat should have one.

My cat loves his cottage. It is so hard to find things that he likes. I bought this for him, because he loves cardboard boxes. This is product is two paws up.

Lyn

In our house, 4 out of 5 cats give the Cat Cottage 2 paws up! We've had it up for a week now and they play, sleep, and climb in it. Their favorite thing to do is sit on the top of it and stare out the window. This cottage has been so much fun to have! It provides hours of entertainment for all the human spectators in the house as well.

This is the BEST! My cat loves boxes, so this was perfect. She loves to play in it everyday and even sleeps in the top level. It's so cute when she peaks out of the windows. It was easy to asseble as well. It looks great too. This big one is great for a multi cat household as well. Love it!

My cat hates the carpeting most cat furniture comes with, but loves the boxes I get from you. So I ordered the cat cottage and when I got the 2nd floor in. He moved in, then attacked me when I tried to finish it. I had to put garden gloves on. The rest of the night, whenever I came near, he would run out, nip me on top of the foot and scamper back in. I got video of him attacking me. He's a lot calmer now.

Patricia

I have had this for a few days and all 5 of my cats have been caught sleeping in it. My spooky cat even loves it cause she can hide in it and attack with out being seen. I've had other cat things but this is by far the best. My son loves to pop open the windows to see the kitty. It's entertainment for the whole family. by far, money well spent.

All four of my cats love this. They have hours and hours of fun and then fall asleep inside!!! Great gift for your little loved ones!!

This is the best cottage! Our cats normally scratch cardboard up 1st thing.... we have had this in our breakfast room for over a month and they just sit on it and play.. we have a houseful of cats various ages.... they all use it...... I do suggest that you get the whole package... I can't imagine using it without the top! It's a great lounging spot!

I started with one of these houses and are now up to three. My two cats love them. When they are finished climbing in them, they sit on top and watch the birds through the windows.

My 16 year old cat has shredded two of these in the last few years. She is constantly in and out and carries her toys in with her. I am preparing to buy the third one for her. Shredding boxes is one of her main enjoyments, but it takes a couple years to work through one of these to the point it has to be replaced. Four paws up!!

Jennifer O

As most people have said, my cats were in it before I could even finish assembly. My younger one, who loves cardboard boxes, is always hiding inside. He didn't like the closed windows, but I remedied the problem by sliding a plastic straw, about an inch longer than the window width, all the way up to where they are hinged and taping it. The straw sticks out a little on each side and keeps the windows from being able to close all the way. He likes it much better now and spends most of his time inside, looking out the window and swatting at us!

My cat has always loved boxes, especially shoe boxes. As she got older she could barely fit in a shoe box any longer. I found this Cat Cottage and thought it was a great idea. She LOVES it. I may buy another one because she scratches and bites on it so it may get destroyed sooner or later. I definitely glad she's enjoying it!!!

I got the Drs. Foster & Smith Cat Cottage for my very spoiled 7 year old cat when we moved to a new house. I wanted him to have something to help with the transition. The new house came with another cat and dog. My baby wasn't used to dogs or cats so i wanted him to have something he could hide in. Anyway, he absolutely LOVES it! And the funny thing is, he and his "sister", our little rabbit, play in it together! He climbs to the top and she follows! Its adorable, I'm so glad I got it!
