How do I prevent this from sliding around on the floor when the cats try to use it? My cats love this and want to use it, but as soon as they try, it slides around. It doesn't matter what type of floor I put this on, carpet/hardwood/laminate, it...

you can glue little rubber feet to the bottom, which will prevent sliding.. or that rubber matting that you put under carpets. I have mine against a window seat.. it does double duty to assist my old guys in climbing up.. but I always find it in other areas of the room, and turned over.. they don't seem to mind, and get quite excited when I right it!

I had the same thing happen. My two cats just batted it over and one rolled it while the other ate. I asked the same question. How can I keep this thing from getting knocked over? I got no answer.

My cats have ripped part of the carpeting from the post but nothing comes off. I have to cut the shredded part off periodically but there is no mess on the floor. Hope this helps.

I had trouble at first. The groove has stops at the ends, so if you get one end lined up at one side of the door it isn't difficult to line up the other end at the other side of the door. Then it just drops into place. I usually give it a little test twist. If it is in the slot, it won't move. both I and my cats are very happy with this box.

Hello! My cats don't really use it, either. So that string toy thing with the wand on the end I just use by first putting catnip in it first and then use it by just waving it around in the hole on the top or if your cat sticks his/her head in one side you can also wave it around on the other side where they can see it and they'll run over and through this crackle chute to play. My cats honestly have even tried to sleep in it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'll get used to it

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

I've used this mat on both ceramic tile and wood flooring and it doesn't slip or slide. It's pretty substantial -- I'd think it would be hard for a kitten to move it.

Clean the window make sure everything is dry and just follow directions in the box.. Sometimes I have issues with suction cups too, not sure why.. Once you get it to stick don't take it off. And, it might not work as well for heavier cats, our cat is very light.

Sadly, it does not... and one of our cats has discovered this. This weekend we will probably mount it onto a bigger plywood base; that should slow them down. :)

Give it some time. Let the cats adjust to it. Put toys on the levels. They will come around.

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 use this on my hardwood floors in my living room...I just put a square of drawer liner under it. As others have written, i wouldn't drag or slide it across.

It has the ability but might be tricky. I just have mine on the floor. Try the double sided tape for cats too. Those really work.

I use mine on hardwood floor also, I haven't had a problem with it sliding around. Its a very sturdy trash can!

We also have some hardwood, and neither of our dogs have ever had any issues with traction or sliding. It really is a great product. Hope this is helpful & happy walking!Maybe Joe is applying too much if he's experiencing slippage, not positive, just a thought.

My cats had no problem, Mix the two litters together at first(a little used litter too, so it smells like "bathroom"). Then try using all crystals. If you make the switch gradual they should adapt.

There is Velcro on the edges so that you can attach several mats together, and that does tend to hold on to our rug. I don't especially want that, but it does happen. I'm sure they didn't intend it to be a way to keep the mat from slipping on the carpet, but that's the end result. We haven't had a problem with it slipping, in any case.
