does it have a time to keep cat in at nite
1959797
you would have to reset it for the nite, but its not difficult- and then set it again in the am
1959798
Yes - you can set the hours the cat can go in / out and when the cat cannot go out!
1959799
nope, no timer function. you'd have to manually change its mode each night.

I wouldn't recommend it. While it may be fine, there are times when the bowl doesn't clean properly, or has an error, or runs out of cleaner. Perhaps the power flashes and resets the auto-timer. If you're going to be away from your pet for two weeks, it would be very wise to ask someone to check in on them and play with them periodically, regardless of your litter system. But the Cat Genie can certainly simplify their obligation while you're away, and let them spend more time enjoying your pet!

I have two cats and I have been away for 5 days without a problem. That is the maximum amount of time I've ever left the cats (with food too, as they have unlimited access) without someone to check in. I do always leave a spare bowl of water nearby just in case they need more. And you'll need to add water as soon as you return.

My cats have only been inside a few times as the winter weather has not always been good. One cat is thrilled with it, the other cat is very nervous and is a real Houdini--he managers to work open the zippers--so the zippers will have to be twisted shut with something strong. I also keep my cats nails cut, the sharp pointy tips mainly--and, as this is a new toy for them I have usually sat nearby and kept my eye on them. So, I am not too much help.

I can, because the cat door has a way of staying put, so it doesn't just fall out when you slide open a door. It has worked out well for me. I like the way you can control the in/out activity. I'd recommend the door.

My cats move their heads out of the way when it closes. I know if anything gets stuck in the doors the doors stop and keep trying until the doors shut. So even for a slow cat it would close.

Cats are skeptical creatures, and it will take longer for some than others. My feral cats are female and took to it immediately. If your cat is a male he may take longer, but having the two exits will help him not to feel trapped. It may be the nights haven't gotten cold enough yet for him, but I'm sure he will seek a warmer place when the temp. drops more. I also have a male feral cat who hasn't made any attempt to go inside yet. But the other three have all made it home. Give it more time, cats have to gain trust. Good luck.

We have very little show here, also kept mine under the eve of a roof. I did clip a heavy plastic piece to the top of one side to make the feeding area a bit larger as my cat was apprehensive at first to go in, but when it rained or was very cold he was all the way in. Also, I had some carpet squares and put one of those on the inside floor.

If sitting on it while scratching stays put; but moves if kitty gets vigorous with it and is not on it.

It's perfect for when you want to leave the house. Since I have so much cats its last them max 3 days for then to empty it but yes it does fill the bowl aoutomatically after there's no more water just refill it and youll be set

they say have animals out of house when u put it down - let set for 2 hrs at least or more and then need to vaccum - don't let cats walk on it or be in area

It stays open till the next scheduled feeding time. I set mine for once a day so my cat can take all the time she needs to eat her food.

Not that I read but is safe around them. I would spray bedding areas and wait 15 minutes before putting cat back. Spray around inside house, also. And go online to Orange guard website.

Yes you just have to put it up there and turn it on. Hopefully your cat will not like the high pitched beeping sound. I have one cat that it doesn't affect so I guess it depends on your cat and whether you're willing to take a chance on it not working.

I use this for my six year old cat and she doesn't want out. She loves to go on walks. As long as she is put in the stroller and zipped up before I go outside, there has never been a problem.

If the cat sticks its head in the entrance it unlocks. No time delay so it will probably work.

YES to both questions! We lock it around 10 pm, so that the cats can come in, (if they're still out), but they can't go out again. We unlock it in the morning. (You can even set it to lock and unlock at specific times if you are not going to be home to manually do it). It is BY FAR the BEST item we've EVER bought for our cats! We have three that use it and it has REALLY been FANTASTIC! We're getting ready to buy two more for other family members. Our cats are large, so we bought the larger of the two sizes and it's perfect!
