I am simply amazed on how well this blanket works! The grey side is the side you lay your cat/kitten on and then start wrapping the cat from the bottom over her back while still holding down then take the sides and crisscross over the back tucking in her paws. The fabric sticks to itself, which makes it easier for one person to accomplish as you make your cat into a burrito. Just the head sticks out to administer oral medications, eye or ear drops/ointment. Doesn't hurt your feline friend nor do you get hurt from scratches. The tightness of the blanket keeps them calm like a hug would and I find my cat doesn't struggle. Then it's remove the blanket and they are good as gold. I would recommend this to every cat owner!
