Should I keep this cut back as it grows? What height is best? It turns yellow after a couple weeks, and my cat doesn't eat it all that fast......

I'm sorry I can't answer these questions b/c I have not yet used any of the seeds, in part b/c there were no basic instructions as to how to grow (how deep to plant, etc.) Try cutting it back, most of pants will grow back. Sorry.

I have three cats and I only sprout a small amount of seeds to last about 7 to 10 days. I cut the longer sprouts off with a scissors when they are 3 inches or taller and hand feed to the cats several pieces every day (yeah!!.. they think I am their butler). I also stagger my sprouting so that just as one container is about ready to be thrown out, there is another that is tall to cut.

My grass has been sitting outside since September 7 and looks great. My cats are outside/inside until the weather gets terrible. So guess I don't know the answer to that one. The grass has to be watered often. But I am not even sure how tall it might grow. Good luck.

I bought mine aobut 6 months ago. My 12 pound male cat loves it ! I put his food on the top shelf which has penty of room. He has scratched up the bottom portion a bit but it should be good for years.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm adding a reply in case anyone is still reading. My kitties love things that are typically no cost....When I eat a Nutrigrain bar, I fold the wrapper into quarters (lengthwise), and then tie a knot in the center. It crinkles AND flies around when they bat at it. It's one of the best things I ever did; you just have to watch for fraying and then toss it. It usually takes a few days, unless one of my kittens is going nuts. The Colorful Springs are a huge hit, and inexpensive, and they make noise when they roll across a hard floor.

for a very short period of time. My cat ruined it with in a a week or two. Also its way too long for a cat but you can cut it to make it shorter, which we did and it was much more comfortable for her but doesnt last long

I would be hesitant and I'll tell you why. The base and scratching posts are very solid - no complaints about that. However, the U-shaped platform at the top and the lower platform that curves upward, are not nearly as solid as the rest of the piece and sure enough, those are the areas where a cat would typically sit. The U shaped platform at the top is OK, but the lower platform is very weak in my opinion. (And I'm not really sure what purpose the upward curving of the lower platform serves anyway - my cats have never scractched on the outside of that section.) If your cat doesn't put any weight on that area, it might be ok. BUT, if your 20# cat puts weight on it, I think it might break pretty quickly. I bought this for 5 foster cats - none of whom are over 8#. The smallest kitten who is about 4# jumps on the top of that lower curved platform and the entire thing shakes. I've had it for about 10 weeks and nothing is broken so far (except the toy). One other FYI that comes to mind - the removable "cushion" is just 2 pieces of plush fabric sewn together - there is no cushioning inside. Whatever you decide, I hope you find one that works great for you and your kitty!

It won't rip. I've got 14 and a 16 pound tom cats with razor sharp claws (I need to clip them more often!) No problem for years! After about 3 years in the sun and rain the color starts to fade and then you can rip it with your hands and it needs replacing. But until then it just won't rip unless you use good scissors.

I would use at least 2 tablespoons or more, absolutely cover the dirt with seed because sometimes there are a few that don't sprout and cats love lots of grass thickly grown and it will last longer too.

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts. I might cover the bottom with soft blankets or something just in case they fall from the top (if they are climbers.) Some cats prefer different materials, but any cat can be trained not to scratch things as long as they have something they can. They do make kitten claw covers (soft paws, I think.) You have to trim the nails, then you basically glue these caps onto their nails. They should last until the claw's sheath comes off, which is natural. The time that takes can vary. I heard they usually last about a month. Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts.

I have both the small and medium. The medium I have at the end of its extensions for my bigger cat which weighs around 13-14 pounds. If there is any chance of growth you may want to go bigger and just tighten it down.

It will be yellow and saturated in the area where your cat does his/her business most often. That's when you stir it up really well with the dry crystals in the box so the urine can be absorbed. When stirring no longer does the trick, it's time to dump and start over with fresh crystals. Hope this helps.

Kristy, Kittens would do better on this tree. Straight up, I will be returning the tree. That is one problem for my 4-- 5yr oldsThe Noxious odor is still with it also. The 72 in with a ramp, might be better for your cat. hope this helped

It's a pate and my cat loved it. We recently changed to Organix though, a food lower in phosphorus. If you have cats, know about lilies.... don't bring those pretty flowers into your home.

Yes, my kitten tore it all up. I even tried bitter apple because I heard that it worked--she tried it once (thought I had found my cure) but then went back feverishly and tore it all back up. I attempted again with citrus...now that was like giving her catnip...Never do that again. It doesn't look the same without the stuff on the top, is there anything else that I can do to replace this because my kitten has torn it all up and I love this little planter/litterbox.

I have sort of lined it up near where it will sit,but 'twist' it to be sure the top & bottom rims are seated together. Maybe forgo the palm tree topper for awhile just to make it less top heavy (and more to startle your kitty if there is a problem). Scared cats take time and patience to have trust again, as I am sure you know. Maybe leave the top off for a week (I know,... what's the point of a camouflage cat pan if the lid is off? ) so that way he gets used to the pan and considers it ok before you try the top again. Good luck!

Hi Theresa...I bought this for my daughter (who also has 2 cats) but she hasn't used it just yet. I hope it doesn't attract a lot of hair!!! She won't be using it until she moves at the end of May, so I'm afraid I won't have an answer to that question until then :(

http://www.petropics.com/Lanai.htmHere are recommendations, I started feeding my 14# cat 1/2 a small can in morning and another 1/2 in evening. He likes it so much now I feed him 1 can in morning and 1 in evening. He is 14 years old and is healthier than ever. LOVES this food!
