Can this item be used for a 4mo old kitten

Yup, it's adjustable so you'll just have to cut off the excess after you fit it

probably if the cat is within the sense field. Something to play with. I don't think that animate or inanimate items matter.

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. ;)

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.

We're using it ffor a young kitten right now. My husband built lid for it so the kitten can't climb out. BUT it would work I think!

Don't suppose why not - assuming you could get your cat to stay still ... does not work very well when our baby moves a lot (hard to get steady reading); I would assume if you could get your cat to lay down or something it should work just fine though.

If the kittens are big enough to climb into and out of the litter box, or you teach them to use the ramp, it is definitely safe to use with your kittens. It has sensors so it will not move if there is a kitty using the litter box. Also, you can run it manually (by turning the power off, then on just to rake it, then turn it off again), if you are concerned about their using it and being safe.

I think that it would definitly be big enough for a kitten but when the kitten got older you would have to buy him or her a bigger litter box.

Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems. I think it's more a matter of length than weight with this set up. The little paw platform is a bit on the small side since it doesn't have any borders but the cubby and the bed would fit a larger cat easily. One suggestion with a larger cat tho would be to go with a different configuration than is shown. I noticed that a few other folks did this and I followed suit. It just seems the with the bed at the top it's really tall and being a narrow set up would be more inclined to be thrown off by too much activity. Sorry for the long response, just wanted to be thorough. Right now I have 2 kittens using it and they are 5 and 7 lbs respectively. They are both on it at the same time with no problems.

There are rods that have a stretch cord in them and they hook together. The rods insert into the four corner sleeves which keeps the item in a rectangle shape. I use it for a cat and I'm sure it would be suitable for small animal.

It could. Or the kitten may just follow the older cat. Its learning by following.

Not at all. They love it! I even use it with kittens. Don't get me wrong, it is BIG, but they love it!

Hi Jennifer, I don't think so. I own a rabbit and he is one year old and cannot climb or jump out of the cage. Maybe older kittens can climb out. Hope this helps!

Pretty much. My cat is 18 months and has had it 3 months. She has grown to big, bored with it, and tore it up within 24 hours of receiving it. I repaired it several times and we both have given up on it.

I bought this to use for my oldest cat, that is 19 years old and can hardly walk. My three legged cat also uses it. I think it would work great for kittens. You do need a litter catching mat in the front of it.

I can't say for sure, but it SHOULD be okay since the "scooper" doesn't run for some time after there has been motion in the box. I would suggest that the kittens be old/big enough to hop in & out easily.

We used it for two 41/2lbs kittens. And they had plenty of room. I'd say a cat weighing around 8-10 pounds should be fine.
