Well....
Unfortunately, there were no instructions included. However, even just by looking at the pictures, it's easy to figure out where everything goes. The idea is good, but you really have to find treats that fit... because the ball, which the cat is supposed to pull on, has holes, and that actually put both of mine off at first, as their claws kept getting stuck in them. A felt ball would have been much better. Overall, I find it much more amusing than my cats do. Sadly, a bad purchase.
