May I use with my indoor cat, who wants to be outdoors. I thought about putting it in the yard with the bottom removed, so he could feel the grass?

Our home only has a wood deck, which overlooks the water, so the only thing I can see if you were to place this on the grass, is the cat might be able to sneek under and get loose or the wind, might lift this unit high enough, so the cat can escape??

I have one and I think you could use it that way, as long as your cat isn't big enough and strong enough to get under it and lift it up. I think the average cat probably couldn't do that.

Not sure. Depends upon whether your cat can jump out of it. My dog is a toy poodle, only 6 1/2 lbs, and he can not jump out of it. However, I would check the height measurements before purchase. Hope this helps.

Yes, I think it probably would. But I agree with dityboycom, if it is indoors, don't have it on when you are there to shoo the cat off the counter. Turn it on when you'll be away, see if it will train the cat over time. We use ours outdoors on the porch, directed toward the patio under our bird feeder. It has successfully kept away a neighbor's cat that was coming to kill birds at the feeder. The range seems to be about 10 feet, maybe a bit more. We do not turn it off unless we are spending time on the patio, walking around in front of it. It has lasted 8 months.

I agree that it depends on the cat. My cat tube is on our patio right up close to the side of our door and the opening is away from the wind. I guess you should try what you think would be good for yours. My three love their house !!!!

that is fairly small to force a cat to live in. it isnt nearly tall enough to meet cat's need to be higher than there surroundings. so I would say no

Hi Stacy. Any updates on your little guy with this potty? My cat is the same way, and I'm thinking about getting one of the grass potty for her.

Don't want to mislead you so I would suggest you go to the "Come with me Kitty" website where you should be able to see their recommended method or give you a "contact us? where you can get a truly accurate answer. We really liked the item and the Kitty was tolerant of it til she got too independent and we felt safe letting her out in the yard

I have rolled mine onto a screened-in porch with outside access and removed the doors for the original two kittens, and now four new kittens to use. They like playing in and out of it and find it a safe place to go to. Since there is no covering, it would not, in my opinion, be an option for outdoor or yard use with doors closed. It is not made to be weather proof.

If you are planning to use the blanket outside, I would guess that only wrapping the animal in the blanket would reflect body heat of any consequence; not just having the cat sleeping on it. Trying to wrap a cat and have it stay inside the blanket would be a challenge. Winds sweeping over the sleeping cat would be an issue. Seriously low temperatures' influence would also be a factor depending on the degrees. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to discuss specific details of your questions of this nature. It is heart warming to see you trying to protect your furry friends! If possible,I would bringing the cat inside to be sheltered.

I think that's a wonderful idea for an elderly cat! Our feral outdoor cat loves his. If we ever succeed in bringing him inside, the house will come, too.

My tabby is indoor-outdoor about 50%-50% and this works well. That being said, we also removed him from the property for a day while we sprayed outdoor flea spray on the lawn and rest of the yard which I would suggest you do if you can keep them off the property for a couple hours while it dries

The net is not that strong. I would not trust it to keep a cat inside. Cats could also use their paws to possibly climb the netting.

I don't know that it is particularly recommended for use outdoors, but we have put ours in a small dog house on a partially protected porch. We just check it periodically for being wet or soiled. Cover washed up easily by hand. Our two outdoor cats, who are 17 and 14 years old, really love theirs. As soon as our oldest saw it go into the dog house this fall, he immediately ran over and sat on it.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that. I was using it to get rid of chipmunks. We don't have any outdoor cats in the area.

No, you can use it outside or inside, if you have hardwood or other non carpet.

Absolutely, this is not an outdoor bed. It is for indoor use only. The bed has a heating pad that is activated when the cat lays in it, and warms enough to make them cozy. My cat is hard to get out of this bed, but I would never put it outside for him. They do have other beds that can be used outside and they are waterproof. I don't think this one is, in any case I wouldn't trust it to be.

Yes you can. Purchase the deck kittywalk if it is going on a concrete or other hard surface. When you assemble the kittywalk, just leave off the "door" on the end you want to put next to the cat door. You can make the kitty walk as long or as short as you want. I would suggest using some kind of strapping tape or something like that to make sure it stays up against the door. Also, you should check the kittywalk often for holes in the net. My cat likes to chew on it until he can escape. My cat loves it and would sit outside all day if he had a door to the outside!!! I say go for it. Yes you can.

I think it would be wasted outside with dew, rain or moisture in the air... You probably need a commercial cat spray for outside shrubs and such... IMHO, I would only use indoors.
