How is the strip of fleece attached to the stick? Is it just glued on? One of my foster kittens is notorious for "detaching" toys from sticks.

probably glued, but there is a one inch plastic/rubber piece over the distal tip holding it firmly together. a 20# feline hanging on with all his might hasn't detached it yet, so I'm very happy with this product

The fleece is very securely attached to the stick. It appears to be glued into a rubber tube that seems to be heat shrunk around the stick. I just tried yanking on ours and it doesn't move at all. I understand about destructo cats, and this toy stands up to abuse. The only issue we've had is that the cats love to "kill the snake" by holding it down and biting it. I can't leave it on the floor since one of our cats bites the end off and eats it (makes for colorful cat barf later on...). But this is a great toy for supervised play!

There appears to be an extra rubber tip connecting the stick to the fleece. Now that I am looking at it, my cat has been biting that rubber piece, but it is still secure.

There is a small piece of plastic/rubber heat shrunk onto the end of the stick and the end of the cloth. Seems pretty firm. Picture of end piece: http://i.imgur.com/F5xImUV.jpg

You mean fabric wise or remove one? The only ones I would suggest removing is the top or bottom, due to stability issues. They fit inside each other snuggly with about an inch of one inserted into the top of another. The way I've seen cats race up & down them, you want that stability.

This is all one ceramic piece, so it doesn't come apart. I was worried about my cats knocking it off the table and breaking it, so I applied 3M adhesive velcro strips to the bottom of the bowl and to table to hold it in place despite headbutts and vigorous pawing. Works great!

I had the matt on a new leather chair for 2 months when I wasn't in the house or had guests over. I then took the matt off full time and the cats haven't jumped on the chair (at least I have not seen them jump on the chair). When I go on vacation, I cover the chair with a bedspread and put the matt back on the chair to remind the cats not to jump on this particular chair. So I would say you can take the matt off, but without occasionally reinforcement, they most likely will attempt to jump back on the chair.

It's kind of a braided hardened twine, attached well. My cat has yet to tear it off!

My cats killed (combo pulling on it/chewing through it) the hanging toy within minutes so it wasn't an issue, but a cat could get it's claw stuck in anything, even a blanket or a loop in the carpet while you are gone. I'd watch while you were home for a prolong period and if it happens or you think it's likely, remove the toy before you leave the next time.

Yes. It's one piece and connected as if the bunny is holding the blanket in between the hands. I was nervous at first that it could be easily separated but, it's hung on for 3+ years and still going strong through lots of loving.

There are small two sided sticky pieces that you put right underneath the closed fan that is used for the bow. They can be misplaced and mistaken for trash so check your package. I, however used a glue gun...because I LOVE THEM! Hope this helps!

The hood is removable, however, not easily. In fact, until you asked this question I did not know it was!The hood is a strong molded plastic, and over each shoulder there is a "utility/weapon" belt that also acts to keep it in place. The belts hold things like the small, removable dagger that comes with this toy. Unlike the other reviewer; I do not find that it comes off easily at all. I have three boys that play with it all the time and no issues.

I have tried duct tape, gorilla tape, mounting tape, etc. My cats are too strong, I guess, and always managed to get the bowl out. Now I use a thin, oval headband (think giant rubberband) that goes all the way around the bowl and the feeder. I've used gorilla tape to keep it in place. Two weeks and so far the bowl has stayed attached, which is a record.

Thanks for asking this. I have allergies and cannot have a cat attached to my bedding. I hope it can it be removed somehow so I can attach it to something outdoors.

No.... It is not very good. We put on a cat and found it to be less than useful. We are no longer using stick n find.

Glued on. Mine broke off when I dropped the stick. I glued an oversized one over the original one. LOVE this stick.

There is a thin vinyl type material that is the bottom to the playpen. Our cat sometimes scratches it but has not torn it. When we hear her start to scratch at it, we take her out.

The stuff is strong enough to hold up to kitty claws, but the support wires are weak and so if any cat or kitten jumps on it from the outside that part will collapse. The bottom is canvas but it is not zipped and it's held on by velcro tabs. My kitten was able to figure out how to get out of it after one day.

The blanket is not detachable. Whenever I don't want the blanket on him, I just have to let it hang out while it is unzipped. I don't mind it though. If it's really that warm, I won't zip him up all the way anyway. I think there is another version of this cover that doesn't have a built-in blanket. "Arctic" in the product description is the one that "includes" the blanket.

Yes -- attached to fabric with standard hot glue. Magnets attracted eachother through a layer of fabric covering each perfectly -- no problem attaching or detaching.
