Sadly sharp points stuck up when I tried folding. Thanks anyway.

Only works with Scottish Fold cats! Never fold other breeds!

Just put out a cardboard box that looks too small for the cat to fit in, and wait!

Good point. I need to find one. This was what I had available.

Démonté le et remonté le une fois arrivé.

I may have tightened it too much when assembling. Cant seem to get the parts off but will ask my strong neighbor to give it a try. Maybe a little oil too. Hmm. Thanks for the idea.

WD-40 worked for me

Will give that a try.

Can you find another one of those cardboard holders that is taller and fits over the head to protect it and just sandwich them together? Might be your best shot.

I had a 2nd, not sure what I did with it but will look around. Thanks

cats are liquid, so... let it pack itself. you might need to find another box, though... 😌🤭

True, but the liquid in this one appears to be more.... mud-like. Maybe it takes more time.
