My cat's obsessed with the cycling; stands/sits on platform, disabling it mid-cycle until someone has to go reset it, making it unusable. Advice? Thx!

It should continue the cycle after a few mins. I'd contact the manufacturer to clarify.

You have to cycle through the modes but I think that you can leave it in a mode and when you turn it off and on again it will be in the same mode... I think, I have not messed with it since last fall, I use it as a bike lite.

One of my cats did that too. I adjusted the unit to be less sensitive. That seems to work. Maybe your cat will get bored after watching "As the Turd Turns" a few times.

My cat did the same thing, and finally pooped in a living room chair because he didn't know what to do. I stopped using it then. I have a friend who used a piece of cardboard and made a small hole in it and taped it underneath the ring so that the hole was smaller, then gradually widened it.

Good luck. Plan on having to return it. I have had three and returned all three because the motor is to weak to move the litter. It has been months since I requested refund which they acknowledge I should receive. Just can't get them to mail it. WIll talk to a supervisor tomorrow. Keep your receipts.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

I have the same issue with one of my cats. Did you buy this and has it worked for you ?

It's working when the light is on. Mine isn't activated until the cat is very close to it, but it certainly gets her attention when it goes, she runs in the opposite direction. This only happened a few times, she doesn't go anywhere near it now.

I got this new litter box 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I was reading a lot of reviews of the cat litter you mentioned earlier though, and I suspect that may be the cause of your cat's problem. It is recommended that when switching cat litters you do it gradually, starting with a mix of 1/3 World's Best and 2/3 your regular cat litter, and from there up the ratio of World's Best over a period of a few weeks. I'd suggest you try emptying out the new litter and mixing it as the manufacturer outlines--see if that solves the issue. Good luck.

I have three dogs that do the same thing. I found that if you put the feeder on a tray, with that "non slide" fabric glued on the bottom, that it's so much ha rder to move. a cat shouldn't be able to move it. my dogs, on the other hand, scoot it around. I have an electric cord on it and that helps a bit..... but the non-slide fabric (at WalMart or a camping store) works the best.

I empty the receptical twice per week and I don't put in a new one for it will last for quite a while. The problem that I had was the difficult time finding the 'reset button'. It is on one of the tracks opposite the main motor and it is unmarked. (Mark it with a magic marker. Also spray the bottom of the box with Pam or veggie oil to make the clumps easier to remove when you weekly change the litter.---djk

I am having this same issue. I just put the bike together (I believe correctly), but when I try to cycle the pedals they have so much resistance I cannot move them. Did you ever figure out how to fix this?

I have a cat that does that as well. The pump bowl section is pretty heavy. I haven't had any problems with it.

A cat could set it on, it will stop sounding as soon as the cat jumps away. The cat can't turn the switch off because if his lack off opposable thumbs

I have the very same problem. i thought it was because the batteries were going.... my cat ripped the nylon to shreds within one week and the gears are not working at all. My cat is very upset, as she would play with it constantly. I wish I could get a replacement from the manufacturer..... but I threw the box away.

I have never had that problem, even with a very fat cat who likes to lie on the top. I suspect that the stability of my tower is enhanced by being pushed up against a wall... I just went out and checked my tower and I am not able to "collapse" it without picking it up and pushing the ends of the cross pieces together. The way it's constructed, I can't figure out how it could collapse on it's own, as the cloth across the top and bottom prevents collapse. However, it might be pretty easy for a cat to knock it over, which is why I also have the side against a flat piece of furniture. My cats still use it to sleep on top and they use the scratcher and occasionally swat at the balls, but the novelty of the hiding place has worn off completely.

oh, I wish you had posted an update! I'm wondering how things turned out.Did cats get used to the ScoopFree?More experiments to entice the cats to adapt?And, to be sure, some cats are just picky, determined, and don't adapt.
