Would this work leading to a kitchen counter which is 36 inches high? It's for my cat and I feed her at a certain place on the counter so the dogs do not get her food.

Yes I think it would work for that..it would be a little steep but a cat would have no problem with that...I use mine so the dog can get in and out of our SUV as he is handi cap and can not jump it works well for that too...the only problem I have found with it is that when it is raining it is too slick even with the non slip coating, I hav a cat and just tested it for you with the countertop and my cat went up it with no problem...my cat is 14 and not as able to do the things yunger cats can do, I actually have a cat staircase leading to the counter for him

It might - it would be somewhat steep, but doable for a cat, although the ramp itself is not small and would take up a fair amount of room.

This item does not have any way to hold it in place. It was too unsteady for my 80 lb dog. Also it is large and difficult to muscle in place. I would look for another product.

It would work for your cat but it is fairly sturdy and any dog under 100 lbs could use it too.

Just went out and put it up aganist a 36" work bench. It winds up meeting the floor about 5' from the counter. Looks pretty steep to me but I think a cat could use it. Not a cat person so I'm not sure. But look at your space and make sure you don't mind having somthing that takes up that much room in your area. Hope it works out for both you and your feline friend.

Barely-but not facing forward. The base and tower width is 19.75" (with the base opening sideways). The width of tower and shelves is about 24" (with base opening forward). If the unit is tight against bookcase it might limit the cat's ability to climb onto the tower safely. However, I believe it could work out if adjacent door is typically closed when your cat uses the tower. Good luck!

It should work. Just make sure the unit is secured so the cat cannot topple the unit. You'll also have to program it to deliver the amount of food you want at each feeding. Also, try to keep the unit in a dry area, my unit was pushed in my pond by a raccoon and was inoperable after that.

Yes, our cat is small and she can go from tier to tier with out a problem. How ever your 12lb cat may rock the top of the tower. I recommend not installing the cylinder to the top, as it makes the structure unstable.

depends on if you are measuring the top part or the bottom. The bottom is a hair bigger then the top. Also, the sides are slightly rounded which causes different measurements depending on where you measure. I will just say its not enough for 2 normal size cats.

I got this a few weeks ago, and have another similar one, and we have not had a problem. I was concerned that the cat would be able to get up it due to how the shelves are arranged, but she has no problem at all. It is a good tower.

If it works for an 18# dog, why not an 18# cat? As long as he doesn't claw the hell out of you while getting him in the stirrups, you should be fine.

I would say if your cat doesn't jump high it would work great! I have 2 smaller dogs and I use it as a separator for the family room and dining area. The door works fantastic to go through.

I just put 3 of our cats on it and made them play with mice. 14+16+7lb. The top of the tower sways a bit, which doesn't bother us, but it may bother you. Also if you have a huge 25lb. cat you should note that openings on shelves are just under 9" wide and 10.5" high. Our Maine coon and Ragdoll fit through fine, but not sure a 25lb. cat would... Our big cats are not full grown yet, I suppose I could report back in 2 years :)

It's way too big for a cat - I would check and see if they have a smaller version. I would be worried they would hurt themselves trying to get the food out.

If your cat will drink out of an elevated bowl it will be perfect. Our dog was a little hesitant because it was new but a few treats in the bowl changed his mind.

I guess it depends on the size of your cat and how high they can jump. My cats cannot get throught the bars but can jump it easily. I don't think there is a gate out there they couldn't jump over though. It would have to be at least 4 feet high and that might not even be enough.

I have dogs but it is a good barrier between my kitchen and dining room.My 3 dogs stay out of the dining room.My 1 cat never tried to climb it and was happy when the dogs were on the other side.

The unit is quite large and it would not be possible for a cat to turn the machine over. I'm not even sure a large dog could do it. The cover for the food hopper secures firmly locking in place and takes some effert to remove it so I seriously doubt an animal could do it. The only drawback is that a cat and probably a small dog can stick their paw up inside where the food comes out and they can get a few kernels that way. This seems to be a problem for most other automatic pet feeders of this type.

yes depending on the height of yourceiling you may have to trim the pole which is hard plastic to fit.One of my cats actually will go to the way top.

I measured it. The front is 7 inches high and then it progressively gets taller on the sides to the back to about 11 inches high. Watching my cats....well MAYBE depending on how big your kitty is. It's a great pan! I'd buy it again for sure but my cats jump in the box and cover it while there. Good luck!!

My cat really didn't like it. Not sure if it was her age (she's 9) or like Marie's, too lazy to try or too set in her ways. Although I had no other food beside this unit. Since she didn't use it, I can't tell you if it can tip over. Probably good exercise if the cat will do it. Thank you for asking.
