I'm not the manufacturer of the product, so I can't answer that question with any authority. However, I'd probably wait until the area is dry.

I have been using this product for over ten years. It is usually safe to pet the animal in application site without "transferring" the product to your hands after 24 hours. However, I would not nuzzle the cat or put my face in the application area for 48 hours just to be safe. Holding her in your lap is fine immediately after as long as you don't touch her except on the head - they may need the comforting.

I noticed that my cat's fur was dry about a day and half after the application.

I actually have 3 cats who get along well with each other and 2 are kittens, 1 is 10 years old. They play together perfectly, and also sometimes alone. It has worked out well and is fun to watch them trying to get the treats out. In short, I think 1 would be fine. If you find it doesn't work out for some reason, you can always come back and buy another one. ;)

Hi, I have used it twice without any inconvenient. My cats get better after using it for 4 days.

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.

In my opinion you would probably not have to wait 4-6 weeks but if applied correctly they will not be easy to take off once newly applied. If your cat hates having them on they will be very persistent about grooming them and trying to bite them off and probably successfully too! My cat didn't like them the first time I applied them so he just kept on them until he got them off but I kept reapplying them until he just gave up and started leaving them alone, they are non-invasive and are not hurting them so don't be scared about that. I hope this helps.

I know this post is very old but I would like to know more about your cat's situation. How many vets have seen him/ and so on. The thing I want to comment on for now is how you started the post, "the little feline friend who rescued me almost 2 years ago". I have always felt the same way about my little companions. Please if you are still around, give me an update.Thanks

Yes they can, our cat just had (3) kittens 4 days ago and we had put her in this before she gave birth to make her feel more comfortable since we have other cats and large breed dogs...just make sure u have enough room for the box she gives birth in, litter box, and food and water dish...just a heads up that she may not like it at first so plz just stay nearby and comfort her if she seeks ur attention...I noticed with my cat that she hated it at first but after assuring her I was nearby and there to comfort her she eventually warmed up to it...so gd luck with ur new arrivals!!!!

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.

It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful. I've gone through about 10 of these in the last 3 years since the wire eventually frays at the top. Only once did our cat get hurt and that's when dear hubby was playing with the new kitten and wasn't paying enough attention and yanked in while she had the wire in her mouth. It cut her little mouth but we didn't know until she stopped eating. The vet gave her painkillers for 3 days and all was well. I won't stop using the dabird gocat cat catcher because it is all of our cats favorite toys ever. We just need to be careful when playing :) It could hurt the cats if you play rough and are not careful.

Yes, most definitely. I don't live with any declawed cats right now, but my Snowy loved to play with the first box I had and could extract toys. There Re holes on the sides as well as on top, so your cat should have no trouble playing. Enjoy!

The product recommends spraying and leaving the house for a couple hours. We have cats and it said just to remove them from the house/apartment. I don't know the specifics on young children though.

I'm going to go with no... not for long, anyway. My cat's maybe ten pounds and she fits fairly well, but I tried to put her and her sister in it once and they jammed their heads into the top of it and glared until I let them back out. For a quick vet trip, yeah you probably COULD, but I wouldn't on anything longer than that.

Hi, it does get messy as my three so get into it but I vacumm everyday ,have several scratchers so maybe 2 to three months,my big black cat goes crazy with the toy inside,loves to rip it out everytime we get new one, and then I put their other toys in there,even my 16 year old lays on her fat side and pulls toys out one by one. Mine really like so I keep ordering,one of my cats can cut nails other two are like tigers and will not even try.

I started our kitten out with Littermaid and had no problem. You might want to let it run a couple times to let the kitten get used to the noise and movement. Kittens tend to play around quite a bit in the box and if it turns on before they are done it might scare them into not wanting to go back in. If it is a really small kitten I would recommend using another box for a short time just till they get used to litter.

Violet: I have not had this house through the winter yet. It is so well built and you can get the heating pad with it like I did and your kitties should be warm all winter. I think with the pad it should be fine in the coldest of temperatures. Getting in and out of it in the snow might be a problem as the opening is right on the bottom. I always clean area's for my birds and will add the area in front of the house for the cat. It is very sturdy and should have no problem at all covered with snow still keeping them warm. Hope this helps with your decision. I really do think this is a great purchase. It's made so very well it will last for years and years. Violet: I have not had this house through the winter yet.

Two weeks is a while. I've used it for a few 1 week vacations, and I've come home to a mess sometimes. It depends on how stressed out the cats were that I left, and whether I set the box up correctly. I would set it up the way you want for your vacation a week in advance, to make sure the cats are used to it and also make sure the box is operating correctly. Fill with granules and solution, maybe run a clean cycle before you go.
