Needed for cat. Notice one reviewer who used for cat said they took off locking lid. How high is tray without lid? Thank you for your help.

The lid really does not "lock". Any animal can move it off of the tray if they really want to. Some days my puppy moves it, other days it stays put-depends on how restless he is that day! Sitting on the floor, the tray without the lid is 1" high, with the lid it's 1 1/4" high.

The tray is only about an inch high. It is not very deep to put kitty litter in, if that is what you are thinking. My cats try to dig to bury my dogs urine spots on the pads, putting wholes in them. I hope this helps, best of luck to you.

Hello A. Rodriguez, and a wonderful moment by moment to you and yours. You are correct, there is no lid on the bottom of the container - only the tray or bowl from which the dogs/kitties eat. The only lid is on top and is for filling the container when it is empty. Actually, this is a gravity fall devise which works wonderful - ask my 3 fabulous-felines...so go ahead, attach the container to the bowl by lining up the slots and when it seats properly, twist/turn it until it locks in place. Remove the lid from the top-fill it with your food, and sit back and relax, the doggie/kitty will do the rest...clean the bowl after a couple rounds of filling, and it will serve you well. May The Highest and Best always flow to You and Yours...YOU/YOURS DESERVE IT!

We're using it ffor a young kitten right now. My husband built lid for it so the kitten can't climb out. BUT it would work I think!

I have three dogs that do the same thing. I found that if you put the feeder on a tray, with that "non slide" fabric glued on the bottom, that it's so much ha rder to move. a cat shouldn't be able to move it. my dogs, on the other hand, scoot it around. I have an electric cord on it and that helps a bit..... but the non-slide fabric (at WalMart or a camping store) works the best.

Replace crystals once a month for 2 large housecats . I am very pleased with this product.

It kind of depends on how rowdy they are. I put a latch between the handles to keep my dogs in. But they back off after testing it. They could possibly force there way out of the bottom but it would take quite a brave cat.

I have 4 cats that use this box. However, like I said in my review, it does need to be a bit taller. You'll have to leave the lid up about 4".

The lid doesn't snap down securely, but it's so flat across the top that it wouldn't be easy for a cat to dislodge (or realize they could). My cats have never bothered mine - it looks like it's snapped on and they're not the smartest cats.

about 3 feet. typically 2nd cat trying to eat from 1st cat's bowl will block the sensor on the 1st cat thus closing the lid.

Nope! I own three cats and have never had a problem! There is very little room on the lid for a paw to slip through :)

Water would be a bad idea; just stick to dry food. It would really surprise me if a cat were able to pull off a cylinder. The large tube size is mostly to keep the food out of easy reach. You don't have to fill the tubes to the top, and I doubt that many people fill them. We distribute the food so that all of the tubes have some food, and the food is as physically low as possible. The whole point is slowing down the cat.

I haven't had any problems with it. I have had it for over a year now. I use it for my dog. If your cat is trying to get the food to drop down, you can try fastening the tray with tape underneath or something. I picked this feeder because it had the best reviews and the large container.

The container easily holds the 18.5lbs of cat food I purchase with a bit of room for my scoops. The front/lid latch side is 10-1/4"wide x15-3/4"deep(sides)x19-1/4" high (including the top of lid & with the wheels). Without the wheels it is 17-3/4"high. Wheels are sturdy, roll & turn easily. The sides of container are opaque & a front latch side strip4-1/" wide & running the height of container is clear= easy to see how much food is left in the container. The interior lid is lined all the way around with a white flexible seal & keeps the cat food fresh. My cats do not like or eat stale food (neither do I) & I have been battling trying to seal the large/small store bags of cat food for years to no avail. My cats are now eating down to the last nibble in this container. I am very happy with this IRIS container!

The tray is plastic but seems to be pretty strong. Guess it would depend upon the size and weight of the animal to determine if it would be strong enough. I use mine for cats.

Yea it is a feeding hole. Depending on the size of the cat and their skill level, a cat could potentially stick their paw in. Yes the lid attaches tightly. The cat should not get it off. It is a great bowl for a beta long term. I would suggest it to all ages. Good luck!

The cat will have a sensor hanging from their collar in order for the lid to open. I think you'll be fine with this purchase. We had a similar situation with our pets and this fixed our problem.

I think it is fantastic and it worked wonderfully for the feral cat in my yard. She took to it immediately! But it is round, and i do not think there is room inside for a heated water dish or food. it think the water would spill as the cat entered and exited - and the same for the food.
