I have a 6 &frac12; year old kitty-she had a perfect record for over 4 years &amp; recently I changed the area where she has two towers plus a window perch (small tree) where there used to be some bins-(in my room)--now it is ALL her own personal space for play....

I'm told this litter works with covered or uncovered box. So would definitely try it! My 12 year old cat who has never used a litter box actually uses the box for his feces now! I'm still training him not to use my bathroom rugs for urinination! I would try this litter for your cat. Expensive but worth every penny. Cats are creatures of habit so keep this in mind. Try to catch him using the floor and just gently put him or her over into the litter box. My cat would not use any other litter for years!!!

My cats are 4 years old and I had to get on the floor and show them how to push the ball around but I do notice they won't play with it unless I start to push the ball for them. My honest opionion is NO your older cats won't play with it while you are away.

Yes I do because my two rats love their new 'MANSION'. You may have to readjust the shelves a bit but it won't affect the fact that this cage is huge. I may need to add another rat to the group:)

My cats are 2 and 3. The 3 year old is a pretty big cat so he just goes from level to level. My little cat just takes a leap. The one I have is the one with the house in the middle!

We just got one for our little semi-feral community, too. They took to it right away. They've had an extra-large cat carrier to sleep in for a few years (most of them were born in that carrier!), which sits under our back porch. We got the igloo because the community grew by one litter of kittens :-) Everyone is spayed/neutered now, so hopefully the community is stable! Hope this worked for your kitties!

I gave the whole tower away. It fell over a couple of times when the cat got on the top level and cats didn't like the carpet. It was smooth and they couldn't claw it but would rather just rake through it. I had the tower about a month and donated it. Have another that we all like better.

Pretty much. My cat is 18 months and has had it 3 months. She has grown to big, bored with it, and tore it up within 24 hours of receiving it. I repaired it several times and we both have given up on it.

It depends on how big your rats are. I have two female rats who are about 5-6 months old and while there is still plenty of room I am already planning on getting a larger cage for them. They aren't cramped by any means, but in another few months they will need something larger to be able to exercise and play in. My suggestion, if they are smaller plan on this cage to keep them up to 1 year of age, then it will be time to move into a bigger cage.

Maybe try tempting your kitty to enter with food treats, the laser, da bird, cat nip, etc.? One of my kitties LOVES the tunnel - visits often. We play a game of catch and she loves to use her tunnel as a hiding spot for that and other activities. (She's 10 lbs.) Her brother has ZERO interest in the tunnel...I suspect he may be too big for it at 16 lbs. Good luck!

Our 20 year old can make it to the second level without assistance. Because the tower is located near my lounger, when I extend the leg portion out, she can make it to the third level and enjoys looking out from the little house. If she wwere the only cat we had, we would have bought a tower with two levels only.

The cat tree I have is a little different than the one in the photo. Mine has two cubby hole boxes - one about one foot off the floor and another about 4 feet off the floor. There are the platforms, too, on the top of the box, the highest one about 1.5 ft above the second box. One of my cats "lives" in the upper cubby hole surveying the activity below and out the window. Great buy!

Our older cat is thirteen years old and he had no problem adapting to the new top-entry box. Our younger kitten also had no problems. We had to get two litter boxes (one per cat) and it seems to be working out well. The dog has stopped raiding the litter box for snacks. All is good...

Leave it out in an area that your cat frequents. Try moving it around the house from time to time. I find that old toys can suddenly become interesting again when placed in a new room :) But keep in mind some cats just may not be interested. All cats have their toy preferences.

I have the same situation. My male cat likes to sit in the enclosed part of it & my female cat likes to sit on the outside part. Sometimes they are both on/in it. It is holding up very well & I'm pleased w/ this purchase.

Hmm a cat.. That is a new one. I have two chickens in here but I also put a fence from one side to the other in the front so that they have some outdoor room to play as well. A cat would have a fun time in here for a play place, but not to lock up all day and all night. You could hang play toys all over it and put a bed in the top part, you could also fit a litter box on the bottom. It is a nice "hutch" well made. We also sprayed something to help weather proof it as well for the rain.

My 3 year old cat did not play with this as much as my 1 year old cat but he still used it. I don't know if just different personalities or age. Sometimes late at night I can hear the ball going around and around - they both play with it off and on. My cat also loves when I put ping pong balls in the empty dryer - that keeps him going for at least 30 minutes as well

Just got two rats the other day. It doesn't work after a kill sometimes. I had to set up another trap. And oh, by the way, they break sometimes even before you set them up. The kitty that roams around the neighborhood knows to come and check my front yard for fresh kill.
