How do you get your cat to play? Mine is not bright enough to put the two together.

My cats are 17 and 14 yrs old and I think the cats only do what THEY want to do, I have to play with them so they get their exercise. One is "obese" and she has lost weight and still is by playing with them using the "CatDancer" (purchased from Amazon). Of all the toys I have ever purchased it is the least expensive but the most effective. They never get tired of playing with it. They also like the Plush mice that can be filled with catnip, they seem to like toys that they can carry in their mouth. I purchased expensive mechanical type toys which interested them only on the first day. I liked them, but apparently the cats don't!

Mine doesn't play but he will get mad a push the ball to feed himself. I just rolled it a few times so he saw and smelled the food coming out of it.

They have a one with a lighted ball called a Star Turbo (or something like that). I think they have replacement light up balls. I'm looking into getting the replacement light up balls for my kitten so she can play with it (and drive me bonkers) at night.

My cat only uses the top bed, I took out the tube, and he likes to use the platform. Both my average size cats do not play or fit in the hamack, the house, or the bowl. FYI they are made out of fuzzy material not carpet. The base is really thin. I have mine up against the wall for stability. When he jumps up on the top it wobbles and scares me. I also bought a carpet one from petsmart, with two round beds, and two curved beds, scratch posts. They seem to like that one better. I use the one in the picture to put there food on so the dogs won't eat it. Would I purchase the again? Only if I had a kitten, not a grown cat.

That's the only thing I had to do for my kitty. Perhaps you're not pressing the switch in the right hand paw right?Did you open the battery compartment to see that everything is connected as it should be?I'm not sure if amazon allows, but perhaps you can add a photo of the battery compartment please?Hope this helps.

I have one cat that goes on his tree several time a day and the other one only when the mood strikes. I have mine sitting in from of a window so they like to look at the humming birds feeding, I have them on my outside windows, I'm sure that helps some. Also we have squirrels that play on the neighbors roof and catch my cats attention. But maybe it will just take time. You know how cats are. Independent as all get-out. Patience it may take awhile. Kittens would probably adjust to the tree better.

Hmm, hard to answer. My cats were all over it before I had it put together.Try putting one of their beds, one they love, either inside the box or on the larger shelf. That may prompt them to go up there. They may just need time to get use to the new sight of it and the different smells. To them it is just a new, mysterious object they don't know what to do with.If all else fails, catnip. Rub it on some of the surfaces to make it more appealing to them. They will smell the catnip and rub all over the post, placing their scent on it, making it "their" space and prompting them to use it more. Hmm, hard to answer.

We do carry several cat toys that may be more durable. If your cat is very active, I would suggest a lazer pointer.

As everyone else mentioned, catnip. I also used the laser pointer up the sides to get my cat to put her paws on it as she tried to catch the red dot, which I think worked better than the catnip. You can also try to hang some toys off the top and see if your cats will bat at the toys and "discover" the scratching post in the process.

If you are talking about the one where the little house is... No. The one above it might work if your cats aren't too big. Mine mostly lay around and play on it. The house seems really small, but when they play one gets inside it and stands inside it. Can't lay inside it. They absolutely love there cat tree though. They are on it all day long playing or resting. I have it in front of a window too, so they can bask in the sun

Just for clarification, the toy that I purchased has a ball, but it is not lighted. I'm unaware if the ball can be replaced; I would inquire of the company. I am fairly sure that the scratching section may be replaced. My kitty really likes it and he just turned 6 years old on July 20.

I put some cat nip allll over it! I also put ours by a window, they love that! You could put their favorite toys on it too. I'm sure right now they are thinking, "what s strange plant that is", or something funny lol if they love to play like ours, the cat nip and toys should help :) if not, you haver very picky kitties! Lol!

The whole little playroom IS made of wood but there is no bottom, which was a bit of a surprise! But I have to say, it doesn't faze the cats one bit. There's always someone inside or on the top grabbing at whoever walks by, including me! It would be fun to be able to purchase a second little red pillow to stick inside. I think the kitties might enjoy that.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this cat toy. Does it run in one direction, pause, and then go the other way, or does it just stop? If it is stopping, then that isn't normal. Try switching out the batteries; if it's still stopping, I would contact Amazon and return it. Best of luck!

Never too big! I hope you've brought home your kitten, and your cat tree, and both are living in harmony. Maybe you have decided to get kitty a brother or sister by now? They are lots more fun in twos (or threes or fours)...........

My cats use a variety of scratching posts...sisal, carpet and cardboard. They really like the cardboard - I have to replace it every two months. These I have scattered around the house on the floors. THey also very much like the sisal rug I have by the back door. It doesn't seem to be hurting the rug, and its just a little one. Also, maybe try putting some catnip on the scratcher if you haven't already, or put a couple of treats at the base so they get used to hanging around it.

Try putting some of her dirty litter in it so she smells herself there. Tuen after a day of her walking buy it And being familliar with it, empty her old box completely and set that one in its place. I had one with a lid, and I put my clever cat in front of the door in the lid, so they had to go through the clever cat to get to the door, worked like a champ.

Ajay, Just remove the tattered scratcher circle, and put the new one on. Push it down so it sits slightly under the blue circle. It is amazing, we love it for our cats.
