Sounds like you got a defective kitty. Amazon is great about returns and replacements. Look at the bottom of the page, under "Let Us Help You". Click on Returns & Replacements and follow the instructions to send your kitty back and have them send you a new one.

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

I don't see why not... our cat would bat it around - he's not a chewer and this is hard plastic - not something they can carry off in their mouths. I haven't even thought of that this as an idea, but I bet my cat would love it too! I gave it as a gift for my nephew and haven't tried it with our cat. You can always give it a go to see what the cat does, and return it if the cat loses interest or is scared off by it - these toys move pretty quick. Not sure on battery life, so it may be more of a cat toy that you would turn on and off when you're home to monitor it to save on batteries and pet safety at the same time.

I have the same issue. We just put batteries in the horse, but it doesn't do anything now. I thought maybe I need to replace the batteries in Barbie. We have been to busy to trouble shoot much.

All my plugins are down low. I have one in the dining room / living room. I do have another plugin but that one seems to serve the purpose. I feel it really helps keep the cats calm, wouldn't be without it.

I have the same issue with one of my cats. Did you buy this and has it worked for you ?

My cat feeders topped worked after the first couple of months. It also has to be on battery or electric so when the electricity goes out it stops working. I am so disappointed, so we are back to leaving a humongous bowl of food out. We do leave her for up to a wake at a time. Thank heavens my automatics littler box seems to be a Trojan house! Good luck

The toy is AWESOME - but I had the same problem with the string. First my cat chewed through the string. Then I had to re-tie it... now it keeps bunching up. It's so frustrating because this is honestly the most awesome toy my cats have ever had and they are 11-12 years old and are (were) jumping around like kittens!!!!!! I would like to play with them more but I can't get it to "flutter" at all. There has to be a better rope!!!! This toy is soooo close to perfect!

Elaine - I bought this for my Daughter and her 2 cats - She came out this summer to visit us and she stayed a week - As far as I know the cats had enough water and food for the week. Please e-mail her @ KIM3GEMINI@YAHOO.COM. and leave your phone number She is attending college the next 3 days and may not get back to you ASAP. She seems to be very happy with them. Any other questions please contact my daughter - Have a nice day.

It's been a while since I got it. I just pushed the buttons and got lucky. Sorry I'm not much help. BTW U R pawsome for helping rescue kitties. I'm a fellow animal rescuer.

My cat got into it. I went outside and my bf was inside the house. All of a sudden as I'm walking back to the door, my bf goes, "OMG honey, HELP!!" I ran inside and he's holding my 6 month old cat in the air with the sticky pad totally stuck against his whole side! I was freaked out while laughing, but I wasn't sure if he'd be OK after I rip this thing off that's stuck to him completely! Eventually with careful prodding and picking, we got it off him but we definitely put the whole thing away after that! He's older now, I'm not sure if he'd get into it again, but if I thought I have fleas again, I'd take it out and give it another try. Not sure about the hot bulb, guess they'd get stuck first. lol.

I've found that my fat cat will push the other one out the way, eat for a bit (the doors take YEARS to respond no joke) and eventually shut her down. By that time the skinny cat has given up, rinse & repeat. I don't recommend this thing, you'll regret it :(

Mine worked fine but I probably would return it as defective if it is not past the return date. My 6 yr old granddaughter loved it and I'm not sure if she really cared if the magnets "wore out" so if you're stuck with it, its not unusable. Look on the bright side - they won't be able to walk around holding Mama Kitty with all the babies dangling in the air. Subconsciously that sight always brings on an unspoken "Ouch".

I agree with Karen. I would call the company by phone if possible and tell them what happened. I feel that they would send you the part that was obviously defective. I have had my kitty castle for about 2 months without any problems. My cat loves it. He has slept and played on all levels and enclosures.

That's the only thing I had to do for my kitty. Perhaps you're not pressing the switch in the right hand paw right?Did you open the battery compartment to see that everything is connected as it should be?I'm not sure if amazon allows, but perhaps you can add a photo of the battery compartment please?Hope this helps.

I would see about contacting the seller and see if they can send you a new one. I had no issue with my nieces. We put the batteries in and it worked great. Sorry yours is having issues. I bet the person you bought it from will give you a new one in exchange of your not working one.

That's a common problem, see the other reviews. I had the same issue. It would feed my cat successfully, at BEST, maybe 70% of the time. A lot of the time it would get to one minute before a scheduled feeding, then switch to 12:00AM, no matter what time it was, and the cat would go hungry unless we manually fed her anyway (which defeats the purpose.) A lot of the time when it did turn on at the right time, the motor would run, but no food would come out. This is a terrible, terrible product! 80% of the reviews are bad ones. If you can still return this item, DO SO!!! If you go on a trip and leave it with an animal, they WILL go hungry. That's a common problem, see the other reviews. I had the same issue.
