Taping the hose makes it stiff. She is a 14 year old cat and I don’t want to make her sleep elsewhere at this point. Thanks!

Try wrapping it in aluminum foil.

I really recommend against that.
Wrapping the cat in foil is extremely difficult! The cat refuses to stay still, and since he has claws, I got a lot of scratches.
It sounded like a good idea, but ... no.

not only that, but it eliminates any microwave warming.

You can microwave things in foil... if you want a lightning show.

CDs are fun too... about 2 seconds on high.

I got a hose cover, and I've been putting the hose into a cubby on the headboard of my bed.
Last night, I head that hissing sound again! WTH????
I disconnected the hose, and sure enough.... bite marks right near the end where the cover ends.
ARRRRRGGGGH!

This is the 4th ClimateLine heated hose in less than a year!

So.... a few changes. I have not been totally closing the cubby. It has a sliding door, which I have left open a bit to be able to quickly grab the TV remote.
I didn't expect the goofball cat to climb into the cubby, but I suspect that what has happened. Most likely during the day when I'm not home.

Now..... using a standard cheap hose. When I get up, it goes in the cubby, and the door is totally closed.
I may put the cover on for night time, but I did not last night.

Finally, If all else fails, I may try covering the cat in foil!

Shepherd . . . Good thing it wasn't a labrador--they will swallow anything.
Then you have ruined stuff AND a huge vet bill.

Isn't this what doors are for? I hate to be naive, but if your animals are wreaking havoc with your cpap stuff in the bedroom, close the door with the animals on the outside?

Just a thought.

I've had my fur-babies for far longer than I've had my bilevel machine. They will get used to it and if I have to replace parts because of my own stupidity, I choose to do that rather than stress and confuse them more by locking them out of what I consider their bedroom too.

Not trying to start an argument just explaining my feelings on the matter. The op may feel differently but I believe he mentioned the cat belongs to his wife. I expect he is makng accommodations to preserve marital harmony. :lol:

Sure, just a suggestion. When we had dogs and cats for a lot of years, they didn't sleep in the occupied bedrooms, so I know that it can be done *smile*. But if you'd rather deal with the wreckage, so be it *smile*.

Of course it can be done.

She didn't say it couldn't be done. She said, she didn't want to stress and confuse her pets by forcing a change.
