How to get my cat to like it?

Your cat either likes it or not, depends on their personality. Mine didn't like it at first but loves it now.

Walmart sells catnip spray for $1, all you have to do is spray it on the posts.

Does your cat like catnip? Put catnip on it. Does your cat like a particular toy? Put that toy on it. Don't put the cat on it when they don't like it or they'll run scared, just put things they like on it and see if they go to it themselves.

Not sure yet my cats haven't touched it since I put it together. I will try to put some catnip on it to see if it will help any.

Catnip usually works. Also, my cat likes ribbon so i tied a piece of ribbon to it and she loves it

Try cat nip. But my cat didn't like this bc it was far too small. I returned it

Try rubbing some cat nip on it? Mine took a few days to warm up to it. At first she wanted nothing to do with it lol.

If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help. Also, sticky tape on surfaces you prefer to save from little claws should work as well. The combination of the two should definitely entice your kitty to the tall, sturdy post. It also comes with catnip to help direct those dastardly toes toward appropriate scratching spots! When introducing the post, you might want to use a pinch of the catnip (included w/ post) rubbed on all sides of the post ... but not really necessary! Think your kitty is just looking for a tall place to stretch and scratch! Hope this helps! Good luck to both of you!!! If the post is positioned near the favorite door frame, I do think it will help.

My cat will take breaks and meow if he can't get more treats out. It's his favorite and it occupies him for hours. He'll try occasionally even if there aren't treats

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 cut the top off and squeeze it into my cats mouth. Mine too will not eat his food it if I drizzle it on top.

my cats have no problem with the product. Maybe your dog objects to the flavor. Try a 1/2 dose and see if he will drink.

Use something your cat loves. I tried a variety of things, but their favorite treat is the one that matters to them the most.

I rub the capsules on butter, so it's completely covered with butter, or you could use coconut oil, depending on which taste your cat prefers. This makes the capsule slippery to make sure it goes down easily, and doesn't get stuck in their throat. I place it in my cat's mouth, close her mouth and blow gently in her face and rub her throat. I hope this helps.

Ha! Mine too, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer this question (I gave up after one try). I may try again this spring, when the weather is better and they aren't so little. Heads up, the leash isn't super long either, so keep that in mind... depending on what your goal is there. And here is a link to leash-training tips from ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/cat-behavior/teaching-your-cat-walk-leash Hope this helps!

Hi. I bought this for ny cats a couple months ago. It did work, but theu didn't like it, so it did require forcing the to have some.The flavor will be whatever is indicated. For instance, your comment is appearing below the one that says 'catnip' and if ordered, it will be catnip.Thst said, my cats lovw catnip and still did not like this. It's hard to say what a cat will actually enjoy. And, the tip of putting it on their paw so that they lick it off, only resulted in globs being flung all over my carpet.At the end of the day, I had to put it in their mouths, but it did work at getting ris of the hairballs and coughing after 4 days of use.

I've used pounce treats and whisker lickins' at first. Pretty much just any small solid treat. I've even used dry cat food in it since my cat is really fast at figuring it out.

It's not a good idea to put catnip inside- you never know what other cats will take the invite. Trust his instincts- he'll take shelter before he freezes. You might want to offer some type of food right next to the tube. Tuna or salmon works wonders! Good luck!

I have sort of lined it up near where it will sit,but 'twist' it to be sure the top & bottom rims are seated together. Maybe forgo the palm tree topper for awhile just to make it less top heavy (and more to startle your kitty if there is a problem). Scared cats take time and patience to have trust again, as I am sure you know. Maybe leave the top off for a week (I know,... what's the point of a camouflage cat pan if the lid is off? ) so that way he gets used to the pan and considers it ok before you try the top again. Good luck!

Your cat may try to and depending on how firm you have it around them and/or aggressive they are, they may eventually get to it by pushing onto something else but not with their paws. Always good to try as they do prefer this over the cone undoubtedly and you can always return it as amazon has awesome return policy

Hello! My cats don't really use it, either. So that string toy thing with the wand on the end I just use by first putting catnip in it first and then use it by just waving it around in the hole on the top or if your cat sticks his/her head in one side you can also wave it around on the other side where they can see it and they'll run over and through this crackle chute to play. My cats honestly have even tried to sleep in it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'll get used to it

The SmartCat is surprisingly heavy. I have it on the floor, and the cat does humor me once a day by vigorously scratching on it without moving it; but she has a whole variety of other targets: chair seats, an area rug, any blanket I'm using, etc. Nothing has distracted her from the preferred target-of-the-moment. Six strong Marines and some claw clippers might do the trick.

Well every cat is different, but I'd say the transition should be gradual. Definitely pour some of his old litter with some feces in there so he can learn to associate the smell with bathroom. Keeping his old box out for a bit of time is a good idea too, at least until you see that he willingly (and often) uses the Clevercat box.
