I would like to get this so my cat would play with it while I'm at work. Would I need to worry about him getting his paw stuck in the string?

My cats killed (combo pulling on it/chewing through it) the hanging toy within minutes so it wasn't an issue, but a cat could get it's claw stuck in anything, even a blanket or a loop in the carpet while you are gone. I'd watch while you were home for a prolong period and if it happens or you think it's likely, remove the toy before you leave the next time.

As with any product, some form of risk is to be expected. Do I think it will happen, no. But, you know your cat better than anyone else, especially strangers.Hope this helps,

I got this a few weeks ago, and have another similar one, and we have not had a problem. I was concerned that the cat would be able to get up it due to how the shelves are arranged, but she has no problem at all. It is a good tower.

.We bought this tree over two years ago, never had a problem. The toy was attached to the top perch, but our cat is more interested in snoozing up there. At the moment, she is up there looking out our windows.

I never attached the toys to the stand because I read some comments about cats pulling them off and potentially swallowing the strings. My cats mostly just enjoy sleeping on the different levels and sometimes they bring their toys up with them.

Your cat will spend most of its time on this and you will be happy you bought it. My kitten catches her claw every so often on other things and I can't patiently wait for her to retract it or get herself out. What I can say is that the loop is tiny, the string is about 4 in long and my kitten just plays with the ball at the end. Never found her caught in it or I'd cut the loop off.

I was worried about that happening, so I left the string off when I assembled it

No, I don't believe that would be an issue. Of course there is always so odd chance of something happening. This is our second cat tree. The last one they ripped to shreds because they loved the scratching posts. One or the other and sometimes both sleep on it every day.

It has a solid feel to it. Should not be a problem with most cats, unless yours is a heavyweight and/or athlete :-)

This is not meant for your cat to be put in and then tied up. All the cat has to do is pull against the leash and the velcro will undo. As for escaping out of the harness with no leash attached; my cat hasn't ever escaped out of it while just wearing it. It's the tension between the harness and the leash that causes the velcro to come undone.

Interesting question... We have a cat but I've never had issue to use it. I can only say that I will try it for that situation should it happen.

Yea it is a feeding hole. Depending on the size of the cat and their skill level, a cat could potentially stick their paw in. Yes the lid attaches tightly. The cat should not get it off. It is a great bowl for a beta long term. I would suggest it to all ages. Good luck!

I imagine that a cat who is stressed and wants to get out might eventually rip through the mesh. I have never experienced any damage to it. But I must say that I generally remain in the vicinity of the 'funhouse', especially so while the cat gets used to it.

I am not an expert on this, but the ball is made of a very strong material, a cat pawing on it, will probably not do any damage to the ball other than a few cosmetic scratches

The fabric is the same type of material as a leash. The only added weight would be the hook that you put on the collar. My opinion is it would be fine for a cat.

Honestly, I can't answer that because I have a cat and this is the first time my cat has been on a leash so right now I'm not having an issue with him pulling on the leash as we walk. If your dog is use to walking on a leash, I recommend getting one for a dog. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

My cat can get her paw through the bars but I think that is the case with most cages. Maybe wire mesh could be wrapped around the cage for safety.

This is definitely not escape proof. It tells you in the instructions not to use this for a tie out situation. If you're holding a lead and you hold it straight up the cat can't get out. When they have leverage against the lead they can back out fairly easily. The best plan is to not let the cat pull against the lead. I've always been able to grab him before it became a problem.

There is a spring loaded ball that locks it when closed, but it stays open unless you lock it. It will swing on the hinges pretty easy. I don't think you kitty would have any issues with it.

I have two of these and my cat loves it. Make sure that the legs are in the right slot. This is based on the width of the widow sill. but you will find out that the Velcro does not last very long.

My guess is that a large mouse would be able to access the device. As to the cat, its paw is safe - unless the paw is very long and inserted very far. Pretty safe for cat.

Maybe a kitten's paw could slide in there but I doubt it could do any damage because the slots are too narrow. But a full grown cat wouldn't be able to slip a paw in there.

I guess it would be possible, if the cat was right there when the tray rotated; but I would think it would pull it back if it was about to be pinched. It would have to have its paw in the empty tray for that to happen; any why would it do that.

The wire is absolutely secure for cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter and some cats, after months of play, will tear the mouse from the wire. Replacement mice are available and easy to attach. We have over 20 cats at the shelter and they LOVE this toy. Kittens especially go crazy for it. My cat is 13 years old and he doesn't like toys. After I tried this one he will play for a short time which is encouraging.
