Is this okay for Cory Cats? Sharp edges?

I have 7 cory cats, 4 dojo loaches and 3 hillstream/chinese loaches and they don't mind it at all. It is like sand, I have the fine black one and I got it just for them...well and my plants too!

Is not sharp or fine at all. Unfortunetly I dont have corys in this tank because of the hairgrass.

My corys and otocinclus love this stuff. They can find the food easier. Way better than gravel. Did half the tank at a time and, when the first half was done, corys and otos congregated on the black substrate.

Despite being larger than a fine sand (like the tahitian moon sand in my other tank), the edges are actually softer than sand (which can actually be sharp)

Not at all. I'ts braided wire and there are caps at the end so no sharp points. I wouldn't let them chew on them though!

It's pretty thick vinyl. Unlikely to be punctured by a cat jumping up on it and gently using its claws for a little grip. But if the cat keeps its claws sharp and was actively clawing on it, it could puncture.

You probably can, there is enough extra plastic spacing. Just sand down the rough edges to avoid kitty rubbing injuries.

Not that I can see. But the could tear the mesh with their nails. My cat tried to bite the mesh but has had no luck in tearing it.So I believe it is safe.

A call to your vet would be best as I know regular aspirin is toxic to cats. White Willow bark is much safer. I read that it was OK to give cats but check first.

It's the only groomer my cat doesn't totally hate, but I didn't get the cat till he was 3 years old and was always self-grooming (Angoras are meticulous groomers). I'm pretty sure your cat will like it since it has no sharp edges and it attracts hair with static electricity to the silicone bristles, which are more like blunt pegs.

No, not at all. I had the same issue with my foster cat. The cone will prevent your cat from licking/grooming his body but he will still be able to rub up against things and irritate his eye.

I would not. Its thin glass. It already bends at the middle from the weight of the glass itself. So I would leave this for you to figure it out. And do yourself a favor and train your cat to stay off the aquarium lest your fish get electrocuted or eaten.

I've had this cat for only 10 days or so. cannot advise specifically. clipping can be dangerous if not done properly. amazon has these rubber tips to put on the nails. I provide the scratch lounger to file them down. if you really think clipping is necessary, maybe a visit to vet.

The only thing I can think of is to rub some jewelry/sewing wax over it. It comes in a yellow bar and can be found in sewing supply stores - it's generally used to keep keep stiffer threads from unraveling or flopping around while you're working with them and it wouldn't hurt the cats if they ate it. Otherwise, what I did was buy the Da Bird Cat Catcher with the silver cord and it never, ever winds or twists. It's so much better I quit using the black cord altogether.

I bought this crate about 2 months ago, today is 7/4/13 I was not aware of sharp edges in the crate nor have I seen any in mine. Hope this helps.

I am the reviewer and wanted to clarify that the plastic springs are NOT easily broken. I am sorry my original review wasn't clear on this and have updated my review to reflect that. However, a determined cat (like mine!) can break them and also chew down the edges such that they are clearly jagged and sharp. I will upload pics of those edges shortly . I think this toy is fine for the vast majority of cats. Just wanted to give owners a word of caution to watch. We are sensitive to this issue as my husband has had to remove many life threatening items from the stomach and intestines of cats and dogs that you would never expect over his 25 years as a veterinary internist.

It's pretty sturdy, but accidents can happen, especially if nails are not trimmed. Because I wasn't very diligent with the nail trimming, my cat ended up puncturing it, but he wore it for 4 months or so before that happened. His wounds wouldn't heal this time; plus he could reach the lower part of his hind legs. I'm thinking of combining this with the clear plastic cone. There's a picture of a cat wearing it, so it appears to fit well. I tried the soft cone, but it was too big for my poor cat. His peripheral vision was shot, and he was miserable. Didn't want to move at all. 'Hope this helps.

NO NO NO! DO NOT USE SHEARS ON MATTING! You could accidentally take a chunk out of the cat. Even if your very careful it can happen. Get proper clippers or if the noise is a problem try ScardyShears. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

Yes, absolutely. my vet recommended this to me after having a cat declawed. Love this product, and so do the cats!

The tips are rounded, so I would think it shouldn't scratch your cat's skin. I use this for my husky and I do groom her head where there really isn't much long fur/coat. She doesn't get irritated by it.
