Do we have to leave the home and take the cat out?

Yep, we put the cats out and then let bombs off, left house for about two or more hrs. I came back opened windows and put ceiling fans on per the instructions and came back in a little later, no smell etc. If they are housecats just put in a carrier in a garage or somewhere. Mine were enjoying their freedom so I left them out about three hrs to make sure it was ok. Hope this helps.

Yeah, we kept them out of each area for a few hours, and put ceiling fan on as well to help with the drying process.

We don't have cats, but it looks pretty escape proof to us. We would not hesitate to put our daughter's cat in it.

I don't think the tree alone will suffice to replace the outdoor exercise. We have a bird feeder outside the window next to the cat tree and that helps provide additional stimulation- combined with daily attention and playtime it may work.

The situation you described--lying in bed while the cat wants you to wake up--is the primary reason we use this device. A quick press of the button and the cat skulks away. This is with the door closed.

I leave mine plugged in constantly. It is pressure sensitive and heats up once your cat goes inside. The cord is designed for outdoor use. I feel safe keeping it plugged in.

You can, I have. The only problem is getting your cat(s) out of the enclosure.

yes, they are safe to leave with your cat, i have several out for our cat to play with when he wants to, and when he can't find them i get out a couple more till we find the others, which are usually under the couch

you can leave it on the floor or a chair and the cat will have to move it by himself.

Just keep the cat inside a warm home. Or inside somewhere its warm like humans live in. Just wondering. Sounds like you don't need a cat box shelter, need to keep it inside a warm place so it can run free.

Yes - you can set the hours the cat can go in / out and when the cat cannot go out!

Best to vacate room ionizer is in. Yes, take cat out. Manufacturer brochure also states you should not stare into box.

Product can be locked so no activity is allowed, or locked so cat can get out but not back in, or cat can get in but not back out. Of course it can be operated so door works both ways...in & out.

I don't think so. The lid is closely fitted, moves slowly and makes enough noise that the cat has time to move out of the way. Since you set it to move every 12 or 24 hours, the food is usually long gone before it moves. If you move it manually by hitting the button, then you are there to see the cat safe. Should be fine.

Yes,You'll need to shut it off when you take him/her out. It's just a switch.

Going out of the house the door is free flowing. Coming into the house, the cat needs to place his head in the door opening for the microchip to be read. Initially, the cats are a bit hesitant to use the door but, in short order, they adapt and the door works as advertised. For us, it solved a major problem we were having with raccoons coming into the house.

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.

Depends on how clever and devoted to getting outside the cat is. I had a normal dog door for 3 years with my 2 indoor cats remaining inside no matter how much the dog used it. One day the clever cat I have fogured out the old, non-locking, door. I bought this to try n keep him in. But once he saw the dog still using it he caught on to the unlock noise and just follows the dog. I have to leave it locked now and it used the batteries to keep it locked... on the other hand.l our second cat never figuered out the door. Powered or standard. Ultimately it comes down to the cat. Hope this helps;)
