Could this work for a cat? I have a cat that has to be on a leash or she will get lost. We live in the country so she need protection.

that is fairly small to force a cat to live in. it isnt nearly tall enough to meet cat's need to be higher than there surroundings. so I would say no

Hmm a cat.. That is a new one. I have two chickens in here but I also put a fence from one side to the other in the front so that they have some outdoor room to play as well. A cat would have a fun time in here for a play place, but not to lock up all day and all night. You could hang play toys all over it and put a bed in the top part, you could also fit a litter box on the bottom. It is a nice "hutch" well made. We also sprayed something to help weather proof it as well for the rain.

It should work fine for a cat. We bought this to house our skunks that we rehabilate. The little metal doors on the ends will need to be tie-wrapped but other than that we love it. It is well built and is a good value.

I think it depends on the size of the cat. The latches on the doors are small and a big cat may be able to push the big door open part way. This would be excellent if you add extra, sturdier door latches.

Not unless your cat is very small. The opening from the upper section to the ramp is maybe 4x4 at best.

Yes, just by stepping on it, which is why I couldn't use mine for awhile till my cat got adopted. Of course I would imagine once it went off and scared them they would stay away from it...but you know how cats are

I WOULD not recommend it for a dog. .. We use it with our cat and she has knocked it over once. We had to change the location to prevent her from doing it again.

I think it could work for a cat because it works based off of the vibration of their vocal chords; for instance, my husband tested it on himself before putting it on our dog. If you were in doubt and want your cat to be able to yowl at his leisure while you're not around, they do make collars that respond instead to a remote control on which you press a button to correct a behavior.

As long as your cat is with you within a 200-400 foot range (and you are holding the receiver) then yes. But if your cat goes beyond that distance than you will need to move to a new location and see if you can pick up a signal (which you will once you go in the right direction and are now within 200-400 feet of where your cat is. This is the only device small enough for a cat's neck. If GPS units were smaller, I'd suggest those because of their better range of tracking.Hope this helps.

I'd check to see if they have a smaller size for smaller dogs (and cats). I'm thinking the battery/sender unit would probably be a bit heavy for a cat to carry.

We only use this on our paralyzed foster dachshund, and it works great for him. I think it would work physically for a cat, would depend on whether the cat was ok with being confined in the bag and the rustling sound the bag makes on the floor when the animal moves.

Hello. I've been using this on my ~11 pound cat since late September. It took a little getting used to for him, but it's very second nature for him now. I wouldn't say it is 'small,' but my vet verified that it's not too big for a cat his size. You just have to purchase a small dog collar for it so that it is sturdy enough to hold the device upright. Please see the review I posted for this product.

I think it depends on the pet. Our cats avoid an area only when they know the barrier is not there or if we have the collars on. The second the collars are off or they know the battery is dead they are exactly where they're not supposed to be. If you are buying for a cat I would suggest you don't. The electrodes are too far apart from either to fit a cat's neck. Both electrodes need to make contact but they rarely do because of the width between and the small neck on a cat.

I don't think so.... I found it to bit a bit small for my 8 lb cat! For short trips, it would be OK, but not anything more than a trip to the vet. Because it's tall and not very wide, it just doesn't leave room for the animal to turn around, so I find it to be just too small.

I would not recommend using this for a cat. You would be better off purchasing a $35.00 pet stroller from Amazon. It would be much more secure and I am certain the cat would prefer the stroller to the dog carrier backpack. I have purchased one of the $35.00 strollers and it works great.

The fabric is the same type of material as a leash. The only added weight would be the hook that you put on the collar. My opinion is it would be fine for a cat.

My cat has been wearing it for about two months. He goes outside all t, and so the problem hasn't come up. I have no way of knowing how effective it is in terms of getting loose if he does get caught. time and he climbs in trees and chases birds. He has not been caught up yet.,

we love it for our cat dont know if it will work the same for a dog.call the manufacturer and ask

Yes. I like the bungee aspect of the leash. It allows the cat to explore around. I would not recommend this leash for the vet's office though..too much recoil ;)

We did use the leash. Our cat is an escape artist, though, so the harness didn't stay on long. The leash was fine while we were able to use it. Good length, secure clasp.

I got a small for my 10 lb cat. It took him a little while to get used to it as it does constrain his movements quite a bit. But it is much more secure than the standard harness without a doubt. You can tighten the neck quite a bit. Do not get the leash. It is too heavy.
