I'm not the manufacturer of the product, so I can't answer that question with any authority. However, I'd probably wait until the area is dry.

I have been using this product for over ten years. It is usually safe to pet the animal in application site without "transferring" the product to your hands after 24 hours. However, I would not nuzzle the cat or put my face in the application area for 48 hours just to be safe. Holding her in your lap is fine immediately after as long as you don't touch her except on the head - they may need the comforting.

I noticed that my cat's fur was dry about a day and half after the application.

By 7 mo. a kitten of an average sized breed will definitely be heavy enough for the Litter Robot. I started my cats out with it as kittens at about 3 mo. old. They weren't quite heavy enough at that point, but I just pushed the "cycle" button for them regularly for a couple weeks until they were heavy enough to activate the sensor. It was still easier than scooping and it helped the cats get comfortable with the LR at a young age.

3 weeks is too long a time for any cat (and what about water?)!! Please don't do that! You should only leave a cat alone for no more than 3 days. Then have someone check in and make sure the water bowl is cleaned and filled and the food dispensor is okay (it should not need to be changed too ofen). They also can check if the cat seems to be okay... not injured or sick. When I go on trips, I board my cat. I went around town and found the best place I could. It is not as expensive as boarding a dog, but we still budget for this cost. It is worth it to know he is cared for, is safe and gets attention (and they watch for any medical issues)

I know this post is very old but I would like to know more about your cat's situation. How many vets have seen him/ and so on. The thing I want to comment on for now is how you started the post, "the little feline friend who rescued me almost 2 years ago". I have always felt the same way about my little companions. Please if you are still around, give me an update.Thanks

It should run for about 20-30 seconds before stopping I think. After that it's activated by the cat's (or your) touch.

My cat got into it. I went outside and my bf was inside the house. All of a sudden as I'm walking back to the door, my bf goes, "OMG honey, HELP!!" I ran inside and he's holding my 6 month old cat in the air with the sticky pad totally stuck against his whole side! I was freaked out while laughing, but I wasn't sure if he'd be OK after I rip this thing off that's stuck to him completely! Eventually with careful prodding and picking, we got it off him but we definitely put the whole thing away after that! He's older now, I'm not sure if he'd get into it again, but if I thought I have fleas again, I'd take it out and give it another try. Not sure about the hot bulb, guess they'd get stuck first. lol.

Yes, most definitely. I don't live with any declawed cats right now, but my Snowy loved to play with the first box I had and could extract toys. There Re holes on the sides as well as on top, so your cat should have no trouble playing. Enjoy!

Your kitty should totally enjoy being able to jump between the levels with no problem. At least you won't have to deal with the sisal rope coming off since he won't be clawing it. If he needs an incentive to get to the higher levels, try putting some catnip in the carpet.

Hi, it does get messy as my three so get into it but I vacumm everyday ,have several scratchers so maybe 2 to three months,my big black cat goes crazy with the toy inside,loves to rip it out everytime we get new one, and then I put their other toys in there,even my 16 year old lays on her fat side and pulls toys out one by one. Mine really like so I keep ordering,one of my cats can cut nails other two are like tigers and will not even try.

Its all about reinforcement. Say "no!' spray then see what happens and keep it up. But I hope that he/she does not associate the spray with bad car trips. I just have to show her the can sometimes and she will stop messing with the cat. But then the cat is the instigator so I let it ride, so I know I don't always reinforce. remember all it is is air with a noise.

It depends on the cat. My little lady is 4 years old and doesn't like to be held, much less brushed or groomed. She fought a little getting then on, and licked her paws a lot in the first half hour they were on but she acclimated quickly.

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.

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.

I let my cat play with mine (supervised.) he loves it. The hard plastic doesn't appeal to him so he doesn't chew it but when it gets stuck in the heater vent he will pull it out gently by one of its legs with his teeth. The legs feel secure enough that I don't worry about him breaking one off.

We do carry several cat toys that may be more durable. If your cat is very active, I would suggest a lazer pointer.

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.

One thing I've learned about cats is that they are resilient. I think your cat would like it! The really cool thing about this activity board is that it's got five levels of difficulty. My cats actually started out at the easiest level, and progressed as they got bored. Even if your cat is not able to do the hardest level, I think he will enjoy the easier levels. If you notice him having troubles with the harder levels, you can just put the treats in the easier levels so you don't frustrate him. But, honestly, I don't think he'll have any problems.
