So my cat wants nothing to do with this thing. He's got no interest. Tips?

Where in the house do you have it? Mine only climb on the one in the bedroom near the window even though I have a couple more similar ones in the house. Maybe try putting it in another spot?

Cover it in catnip and put some treats on it and see if that helps. If he's an older cat, does he have trouble jumping that high? Some cats don't like perching up high. Yours might be one of them!

I think I would place some treats on the different levels, maybe catnip and if you have wand feather string they play with, then entice them around the cat tree. also placing in front of window, make sure it is not wobbly.

I put catnip on mine to help the cats get over the fear of "big scary thing in corner". They were giving it the side eye before that, but catnip loosen them up to explore it.

No sound at all. But I've yet to hear about a cat that isn't mesmerized by this toy.

Not working for my cat. She stayed intrigued for about 5 minutes but then realized that it's just food and that she's rather not bother with it. She was able to fish out about a dozen morsels. I suppose she's would have put more effort into it, if those were snacks but I will definitely not use this as a cat dish.

It's a very good possibility your cat will set it off. My dog set mine off and it was a little bit higher than that. It detects heat not movement.

Maybe try tempting your kitty to enter with food treats, the laser, da bird, cat nip, etc.? One of my kitties LOVES the tunnel - visits often. We play a game of catch and she loves to use her tunnel as a hiding spot for that and other activities. (She's 10 lbs.) Her brother has ZERO interest in the tunnel...I suspect he may be too big for it at 16 lbs. Good luck!

Heh. My cat never bothered with another rice paper lamp I had (the cleaner ruined it instead); he does attack the expensive honeycomb blinds when he wants me to do something though.

Mine used it immediately. He doesn't like standing water, it has to flow to get his attention. Your cats may be different or need time to warm up to it.

Our cat doesn't like to be right next to it when it goes off but is not at all bothered by it outside or from further away. Birds don't seem to mind it at all.

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!

Leave it out in an area that your cat frequents. Try moving it around the house from time to time. I find that old toys can suddenly become interesting again when placed in a new room :) But keep in mind some cats just may not be interested. All cats have their toy preferences.

We have had that problem, try smacking it a good one. Seriously. Also, it "dies" regularly, just stops working and/or won't start. We've learned to actually "twist" the button when we want to turn it on and that seems to help. My son has literally tripped over it several times and that has started it. The silly thing is frustrating as all get out, but our cat LOVES it. When it isn't working, she lays down right beside it and croons to it. When it is working, she pounces on it and gives it a good shellacking (spelling?).

it works well on mine...almost too well! My cat was just sleeping on top of it...he's weird like that (it was off, of course...he's not THAT dumb) but dang if that levitation didn't kick in and it sort of "took off" and poor Waffles went for a ride he wasn't expecting and sure as heck didn't enjoy (poor kid...all the neighborhood strays made fun of him). He's since learned to sleep only on the non-levitating ones.

Your cat cannot play with this by himself. It does not mount on anything. You play with your cat by using the wand to drag the material across the floor or by throwing it to him like a fishing line or make it move in many patterns like circles or swirls. It moves very fast if you want it to in many shapes. My cat loves it.

I dont know of an attatchment that can be used directly on my cats. LOL Besides when I turn it on they run so I dont think they would stick around long enough for me to even try such a thing!

I have two suggestions. One is to remove the old one, just as you thought. The other is to temporarily remove the top from the Clevercat, just to let her get used to it. Once she is going in regularly, she will probably love it. All our cats do.

I do the same thing for my cats. They don;t like it on high and I generally just leave all three on low all winter.

It is possible, but I find that my older cat has no interest in going up it like my younger cat.
