should you use this for a 3 month old kitten

YES! The sooner s(he) gets used to drinking from it, the more likely it will become a healthy lifelong habit.Just be sure to rinse daily & clean often if he's wading in it.

Kittens are fine but once they get to about 6 months they can jump over it...so it won't work for long....at least that's how my cat is

Absolutely! I have four cats - two are 6 and two are 10 years old -and they LOVE it! I would say that a kitten would love it even more - there is a LOT of room to play! My cats tore off the swinging mouse, but they do use it to jump, climb and scratch. The sisal ropes are a godsend - my furniture is thankful! LOL! My cats are too large (and heavy) to use the two stairs, but that would be perfect for a kitten, and can be removed if necessary. The build was really easy since everything is clearly marked. This was definitely a great buy. I would highly recommend it. Good luck!

Yes. I used it for very small kittens who needed to be warm an dconfined, and it worked well until they got big enough to fiddle with the zippers, eventually managing to either break them or open them. I went from that to the larger exercise playpens with the velcro detachable bottoms and mesh tops and that worked better - great for young kittens just needing confinement. Not so good if an older cat thinks it would be cool to sit on top of the mesh, because then the whole thing just collapses. However - the playpen idea is a good one and I'd like to see some more companies play with the design - for both cats & dogs. Yes.

I actually have 3 cats who get along well with each other and 2 are kittens, 1 is 10 years old. They play together perfectly, and also sometimes alone. It has worked out well and is fun to watch them trying to get the treats out. In short, I think 1 would be fine. If you find it doesn't work out for some reason, you can always come back and buy another one. ;)

Pretty much. My cat is 18 months and has had it 3 months. She has grown to big, bored with it, and tore it up within 24 hours of receiving it. I repaired it several times and we both have given up on it.

If the kittens are big enough to climb into and out of the litter box, or you teach them to use the ramp, it is definitely safe to use with your kittens. It has sensors so it will not move if there is a kitty using the litter box. Also, you can run it manually (by turning the power off, then on just to rake it, then turn it off again), if you are concerned about their using it and being safe.

this thing is so valuable as far as lifestyle, a quick fix of a plywood ramp with a piece of carpet for a short time could be used if necessary, but I doubt you need it. My 10 yr old spoiled and grumpy Main Coon handles it just fine, so a kitten would probably be able to jump the whole thing. Using the disposable tray that comes with the automatic litter box makes an easy transition as it is floor level then use the litter bagger and they'll know what to do. Get the top cover, too. This whole contraption, although crazy huge has saved our marriage, as my husband despises dealing with cat litter. this thing is so valuable as far as lifestyle, a quick fix of a plywood ramp with a piece of carpet for a short time could be used if necessary, but I doubt you need it.

Yes. I would say this is strong enough for small kittens. As I've mentioned in another post on this item, I recommend replacing the wooden door stops with latches if you really intend to KEEP something inside and not escape. I also added a wire mesh bottom to mine (comes open). I tried keeping my rabbits in it on dirt without the wire mesh, and they dug under and out the very first night.

I have an 8 year old and one that just turned 2 but she is more like a kitten still. She really likes this but does not eat it politely. Generally drags it out of container and makes a mess with the peat. Course, I just clean it up with hand vac because both cats really love this. Try it out for your kitten and see. I do not think it will hurt it. I put it down and then pick it up each day. Give it a little rest. The little girl waits on the mat for it to appear again. LOL

Yes they can, our cat just had (3) kittens 4 days ago and we had put her in this before she gave birth to make her feel more comfortable since we have other cats and large breed dogs...just make sure u have enough room for the box she gives birth in, litter box, and food and water dish...just a heads up that she may not like it at first so plz just stay nearby and comfort her if she seeks ur attention...I noticed with my cat that she hated it at first but after assuring her I was nearby and there to comfort her she eventually warmed up to it...so gd luck with ur new arrivals!!!!

I used it for my ferret. I think that kittens can tear the mesh up eventually. You might just have to keep an eye out on them while they are in it.

I feed it to my cat when she was a kitten...it is for all ages. I had a 2 month old and a 12 year old...and they both did fine with it.

I think the kitten is on the box just to serve as a cute picture to draw your attention. This is a little for adolescent cats or adult cats, not kittens. YClumping litters should NEVER be used for small kittens. Kittens use their tongues to taste things, just like human babies try to identify things by putting them in their mouths. You don't want to use clumping litters with kittens because you don't want the risk of an intestinal blockage from litter they've tasted. Choose a clay or non-clumping litter for a young kitten.

Not at all. They love it! I even use it with kittens. Don't get me wrong, it is BIG, but they love it!

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'd get the larger one. You can use the edges, or half of the 'brush'. Kittens grow so fast, don't bother with the smaller one.
