Can I use middle rest platform as a feeding area for 2 cats? We are getting a puppy and want to remove cats food from floor... Or other ideas for it?

You can use the third level which is the one after the cat dome house. You might be able to use the very top pedestal as well if the cat is small.

No, the middle platform with the cat condo has a hole in it, the next platform up is smaller and I doubt it would br feasible to feed two cats as it is 19.5" x 21.5" and top tier also hinders the available space. I hope this helps.

If you are talking about the one where the little house is... No. The one above it might work if your cats aren't too big. Mine mostly lay around and play on it. The house seems really small, but when they play one gets inside it and stands inside it. Can't lay inside it. They absolutely love there cat tree though. They are on it all day long playing or resting. I have it in front of a window too, so they can bask in the sun

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.

Yes. We feed our cat wet food and only 1/2 cup of dry food every day for variety and teeth cleaning. The Catit feeder needs to be anchored to a solid base and the top hole needs to be covered ... we did both and you can, too. It's great exercise and our cat doesn't stuff himself at one sitting like he used to. We love it.

The hou8se works very well for 1 cat, I would not recommend it for 2. However you may contact the builder, I believe he has bigger units

You could put a comfortable bed in front of it and raise up the Petmate fountain so that the cat doesn't have to bend low to drink. If he has to share the fountain with a dog, you could set it on a secure table and have a method for the cat to get to it safely. I put mine in a clean bathtub and placed it on a plastic foot stool with a no-skid strip underneath it. All of my cats want to drink from it. The problem might also be the soap you use to clean it. You could also give your cat a treat every time he is near the fountain, but not right after he leaves the fountain. Another possibility is that if the cat feels like he's being forced to use something, he'll go in the opposite direction. Keep your distance when the cat is around the fountain. If I pet my cat when he's drinking, he'll stop drinking. Think about the immediate positive and negative actions and sound level that is going on when your cat is near the fountain and when it leaves the fountain.

I don't exactly know what you mean but mine is on top of a small table so that my dog can't get to it. As long as there is enough room for them to sit around it and eat it should be fine. Mine move it around a little but the 2x3 foot table is plenty of room. I am using the cat version by the way NOT dog.

Yes you can. the sizes run big so I think you would be fine. even though you may need to refill dog food more often than for cat food.

I don't have a cat, just a small dog. Though, it might work since you can zip up the top. Only one thing..., if you're cat can get under things, he/she might be able to figure out how to escape from the bottom. My dog has a bed that fills up the entire space and has no interest in 'adventuring'.

The platforms are not that big. The top one is approx. 10x10. My cat is about 14 lbs and will not go in the cubby hole or lay on any of the platforms. I think she's just too big. I might take it apart and make bigger platforms for her to lay on. Sorry, but I really cannot recommend this item until its been re-designed.

I'm really not sure I understand what "doughnut" this person is talking about. The middle platform is "solid" as is the top with the exception of the small hole where the hex nut is from being put together. The only other "hole" is in the top piece where the cat(s) can walk in vs climibing over the small ledge.

I suppose you could put wet food in this bowl but it would be very messy for the cat to paw it out of the holes. As long as you don't mind the mess on your cats paws and use a place Matt under this bowl it could work but it appears it was designed for kibbles.

Yes I believe this would be fine regarding food size as the dispenser unit has an adjustable auger opening size you can set for your food when you set it up. Some people say this step is too tricky to figure out but its really quite simple. Only concern would be bowl size, as in how many goats are you wanting to feed at the same time? The bowl is quite large and my 2 cats manage sharing easily but could be a problem for 3 or more animals at a time.

I have a medium size hooded litterbox in mine. It takes up almost half the bottom. So kitty has another platform to climb on. Sorry, at work and can't measure but will do so tonight and get back to you.

Our kitty tends to tip it over too, so we put the snacks on the middle row instead of on-top, I read others would cover it with a lid so they can`t have easy access, it`s faster to get to the treats instead of working for it, they don't tip it over on purpose.

If your cat is very food motivated it probably could do that. This is one of the deeper styles. The flower style slo-bowl isn't as deep. The one with parallel lines would be probably be easiest for a cat to get the food out of. But I don't have a cat so I'm just guessing.

Just went out and put it up aganist a 36" work bench. It winds up meeting the floor about 5' from the counter. Looks pretty steep to me but I think a cat could use it. Not a cat person so I'm not sure. But look at your space and make sure you don't mind having somthing that takes up that much room in your area. Hope it works out for both you and your feline friend.

Thanks so much! I have 3 cats, one of which is a classic binge/purge eater so I'm looking for a single solution for all of them. Sounds like this is it! Thank you again!
