The Cat's Trapeze is an inventive stylish play/sleeping spot for particularly young and active cats. The Trapeze is specially designed to provide challenge for your cat, to jump through it, to climb and swing: .............. Movement!
Cats often create a route through the house / living room to rage, eg on banks and curtains.
If you buy a kitten and get used to it directly affect the Trapeze, he will leave the furniture and interior much more alone: the Trapeze is the challenge!
But a cat also gladly sleeps! Then why not a pillow to lie on.
For the calm cat, the place to be a trapeze, high above all sleep in one of the nice pillows or "hidden" and hang up in the pad.
And then something else: it must be fitted in my interior, just like curtains!! And by the neutral color scheme, the Trapeze looks good in any modern interior and does not take too much space. It must be appropriate in some corner of a room.
NOT into the curtains!!! That’s the main reason to create the Trapeze for cats.
Take a good look at your cat as he once again jumps into the curtains.
It’s the movement that makes it so exciting for kittens and cats to race your curtains and furniture.
Because what happens if a cat race into the curtains? Movement! Balance! Tension! Speed! Height!

Letting your cat getting used to the Trapeze by placing the lower pillow on the ground is more pleasant for your older or more quiet cat(by vary the length of the rope).
This isn’t necessary for young kitten and active races. They learn by doing.

Some of the quiet cats doesn’t use the Trapeze on their own initiative, just like they do with a another basket or toy you buy for your cat.
The better pet shops sell a quiff substance (catnip) that attracts cats to the object where it is placed on (for example the pillows of the Trapeze).

Options for filling up the Cat's Trapeze cover:
1) Innner pillows from Ikea: Gosa slan.
2) Your own old pillows
3) with old newspapers
The cat's Trapeze covers can be filled up excellent with old newspapers. Fill until it feels like a firm cushion and distribute the newspapers evenly. After a while when the pillow is soft or an accident happened, than simply throw the filling away and fill the trapeze cover again. This will not only save money but also the environment through reducing production of inner pillows. You have to shake up the inner pillows before you put them into the cover and after putting them in, you also have to shake up the whole cover for a better and prettier result. Washing:
The Cotton cover can be washed at 40 degrees Celsius ( is often not necessary, you can use the vacuum cleaner as well), in the washing machine by removing the inner pillows.
The inner pillows from Ikea can also be washed in the machine (60 degrees Celsius) or by hand. Take the wet cover out of the washing machine and hang it to dry. If there are many crinkles you have to iron it. Our advise is to not use the spin drier,
The inner pillows are smaller than the unbleached cotton cover, that's because the cover will shrink a little after washing it. Cotton can be washed as often as you want. The trapeze has been made of natural material. These materials are specially selected for cats and are therefore very strong.
This material can be painted with textile painting in the desired color.
At this moment we only sell unbleached cotton, this is a regular material. Check our shop to look for new trendy colors, which will be made in limited editions. The colored cushion covers are mostly made of 100% printed cotton. And can be machine washed on 40 degrees also . We recommend short and light to programs.

Tips Here are some tips if your cat ignores the trapeze:
► Try a different place, where the cat has a good overview, possibly in an outrun, catio etc. If cats have many distractions and can run though a whole house, even go outside, you may find that they have enough of everything. ► Use attractant (Catnip) ► Play with your cat and the trapeze, throw a mouse, etc. ► To start don't hang the trapeze higher than 10cm above the ground (with the hammock) ► What makes the trapeze even more interesting is jazzing up the design. Think of new ideas for things to suspend at the cat''s Trapeze, so that they are constantly have to climb up the top in order to try to the highest item. It is fun and attractive to the cat when, for example, the feathers can flutter back and forth in the wind when the window is open!
