I would like to use this for my cats so they can sit in the front yard (concrete floor) - would this work?

It probably would work. Use the top screen to keep them in or they'll jump out.

It will hold two cats. It is cute but mine is in the garage for a sick chicken. I doubt you would get more than a couple of years outdoors. I Keep it from the elements would be best.

I would think so. We use it for our outdoor cats in a plywood cat house filled with old towels.

I believe it will work. Our cats, 10# and 11# both fell in and it went off. Also, my husband forgot it was in and just dangled his feet and it went off. We have been really pleased with it.

I would not. It's not built for outdoors. They make SSSCAT Training Aid that is a motion detected can that sprays the offender. Can use with small animals outside. I saw Jackson Galaxy (My Cat From Hell) use it in TV. I wish I knew what you were doing. I'm not a vet or anything but have a lot of experience with animals. For outdoors you probably need a "comprehensive program". Try the SSSCAT. Or get a motion detector sprinkler if that would work. Good Luck. Liane

It's possible - it gives off good heat at ground level. It does need to be plugged in, and you'd probably want to keep the cats from being able to touch/access the unit.

I think it would be perfect for your dog. I have this size for outdoor cats and four of them spend the winter using them for shelter. You do have to watch during rain though. They rather easily get wet inside. I keep mine under the deck table to overcome this.

Wouldn't be my first choice. Our cat uses it only sporatically. Try the bird or the cloth strip with handles, both of which will give much more exercise.

Doubt it would work, Best to screen in the fowles, Cats are on the move at night....any possibility would require the devise to be attached to the cat...bad idea it could hang up on something and strangle the cat.

Unless your cat is a lion, I believe that it wil be strong enough. This was used to prevent raccoons from entering patio. It worked!

Bengals are very active cats - indoors you would need to do something at the top as I could see them climbing sides and I think you would need to anchor it to the floor or walls - would hate to see someone get hurt if it collapsed on them.. outside same issues - could you secure it and how about top? good price for something to tart a DIY project though

It should . I had ours sitting on the floor before deciding what to do with it and it worked there. Sadly our cats more liked playing with it than being scared of it.

I think it would be excellent because the platforms are spaced well for jumping. Kitties wouldn't need claws to get up on out and enjoy the perches.

I would think it's too tall and there'd be little room for the cat to maneuver with it in there. I have it sitting right outside.

I do not use mine for cats. I have two dogs, one is 12 lbs and the other is 46 lbs. It works great and it only really takes one - two times for them to step on it to learn a lesson. As the details tell you, if you are using it to stop a room entry, use the bigger wider one. Again, I'm so glad I purchased this item.

I would not recommend it for a cat. The plastic food bin merely "sits" on top of the green pedestal and a cat will be strong and heavy enough to knock this down off its pedestal. I think the feeding chute is too small to handle anything except the kitten kibble and bits type of cat food.

It would work for a 15 lb cat but it may not last long. Got one when I first got to kittens it was great. About a yr later my kittens now grown to 12-13lb cats were too much and the upper tree area broke. Not enough support. As the cat runs up the tree it will bend the top part and with their weight eventually break . My cats have there front claws as well and shredded this thing in about a yr. I would say if u have a cat with claws spend a little more and get a cat tree that is sturdier and all the legs wrapped with that rope. Just my thought
