has anyone had a problem with the suction cups not keeping the feeder in position?

The suction cups have came loose a few times when I took the feeder off of the hooks for cleaning. I have never had a problem putting them back up, but I can see how it could be problematic down the road.

No, mine has been fine. They did say to make sure your window is squeaky clean when you apply the suction cups. I even have cardinals and a red bellied woodpecker come feed from it and it stays on just fine.

No problems. Wash windows really good, moisten suction cups and press kinda hard.

Not at all! From 75 to -15 degrees (which it was here in Colorado last week) it has stayed put. We also have a neighborhood squirrel who jumps in it and it holds her weight as well. It has not come off since I stuck it on! Great product!

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

I have tried duct tape, gorilla tape, mounting tape, etc. My cats are too strong, I guess, and always managed to get the bowl out. Now I use a thin, oval headband (think giant rubberband) that goes all the way around the bowl and the feeder. I've used gorilla tape to keep it in place. Two weeks and so far the bowl has stayed attached, which is a record.

Sorry I can't answer this-you'd have to call the manufacturer. I can say I've had the super feeder about a year now and I have had no problems. My fat cat has lost needed weight and the feeder allows us to leave for a weekend with no worries.

I have had mine up for over a year, and never had any problems with birds getting stuck in it. The birds are very active on the feeder, generally emptying it in two days. It is on a pole with a squirrel baffle, so the squirrels can't get to it.

Mine feeder is never kept full all the time. How can it be. Birds keep coming as the contents of the feeder diminishes until it reaches the level at which the birds cannot get to the remaining seeds. I don't see how birds can get "stuck" in the feeder under any conditions.

I tried, but the photos sometimes fed crooked(ly) through the feeder. I did the test with "expendable" photos. What have you found?

Must be a packaging error. I don't use the suction cup for the window because my cats obsess about the feeder if it is attached to the window. I simply hang if from a screw on our deck rail. Suction cup should have been included, but by hanging it on the deck rail the hummers get to eat and my cats don't hang out under the window trying to catch them.

I remove it once a week to clean it and so far the suction cups haven't pulled off. Only owned it for 1.5 months though.

I have this cot on my window for a year now, and the top suction cup came loose only once. I think it was because my cat was trying to swat at the bugs outside the window and accidentally knocked the top suction cup off. However, even with one cup off, the cot was still hanging securely by the remaining 3. My cats were never dumped.

The company that manufactured the feeder has gone out of business. My friend has the same feeder and called the Amazon distributor from whom she bought the feeder when a part broke and they would not stand by the lifetime warranty. It's unfortunate because it's a wonderful feeder, but is rendered useless if something goes wrong and can't be fixed. I wonder if Amazon would be willing to give you contact information so you could check to see if the manufacturer has any "spare parts". I think either Amazon or Amazon's distributor should go to bat for you. Good luck.

I haven't had any problem with mine losing suction. It has been on my dash since October and has not come loose. Sorry..

I am sorry I have not had that problem. The holders are not that much just get another one.

Our cats knocked it off the feeder when we first got it too. My husband solved this problem by screwing it down to a flat wooden board that fits the entire feeder and is long enough that it cannot be knocked over. So far so good. We've had it about 3 months with no spills.

I have three cats using this feeder, I have not had any problems with food getting stuck. I use Purina Indoor cat chow. The food flows freely, but it does not fill the bowl completely, but there is always food in the feed bowl. I also don't fill it up completely, I usually only fill about 1/3 of the way.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.
