I can't be the only person having this problem.

Well, I fixed it.

Got on CPAP 2015, AHI 147. Much better now. Have central & obstructive apnea. Smoked 30 years, quit when got on O2 & CPAP. I'm not on O2 during day anymore, only when I sleep, into CPAP machine. Ahhhh....oxygen! Refreshing!

Oh wow!

Nothing about pets there, but why else would someone need that? Annoying grandchildren?

Per the description, slightly buried "This will cover the button to not allow any cats to press the button in the middle of the night!"

That's funny.
I didn't see that before.

Makes more sense with that than with ox box too, I put my CPAP near the floor, on a book, about an inch off the floor, keeps it from flooding back into the mask. That's more likely if it's a few feet off the ground.

But my cat has never stepped on that. He loves my ox box though.
