Would this work for an elderly cat with arthritis who can not longer climb in and out of her pan?

It's possible. Since I don't know your cat it's hard to say for sure. The opening to the box isn't very high it. I measured it and it was just under 3 inches high which in my experience is still high enough to allow me to put a comfortable layer of litter in it. My bunny, Chibi, used to like sleeping in his litter box sometimes so this was a requirement for me. The opening is also very wide. I don't think any sized cat would have trouble with this. If your cat's arthritis isn't so bad that she can't step up three inches and if she only uses litter boxes as a litter box and not a bed (I think if you have a small cat this wouldn't matter but I don't think a larger one would be able to lay in it comfortably though I'm not sure.) I wouldn't see any reason this one wouldn't work.

Yes it can if the neck does not have advanced arthritis rendering unable to move. I am a PT and think this is a wonderful ti

Sorry. Our cat weighs less than ten pounds, so we're not in a position to make a judgement re your situation. The first couple of times we tried it, she slipped right out of it and POUFF was gone...but not far.

I have. My first vet recommended cos and current said das. My cat - who tore her a ligament in her knee - responded better to das. Maybe your vet would have a better idea for your cat (or maybe try each for a month and keep an eye on how the cat jumps and moves).

Yes! Unless he's injured he should be able to easily jump to the second platform. My cats prefer to climb them like stairs.

My cat is 8 and doesn't have any problems. I would think it would be ok for an older cat.

You might want to ask your veterinarian, but I give my cat Trixsyn, a supplement for joints, and the fish oil. She has not had any problems.

How low is the opening for the cat to enter? My cat is huge with short legs and she has arthritis. I need something she can enter without pain. An 8" clearance or less is good for her.

The post is covered with woven sisal so if your cat likes that texture it would probably work. Your cat may be using the door frame because it gives him a full stretch which this post will also do. I hope this information helps.

See my review, but here's the quick answer: yes, if the cat isn't the type to work hard to get out of it.

It may. My cat suffers from a stress related bladder infection and this has been quite helpful. So if you cat is acting out due to the stress and anxiety of his/her territory being disrupted it may work well.

Food would be blocked from falling if door is push all the way open. For a cat it may work because the door wouldn't need to be open all the way.

Depends on the cat. Otherwise not easily it will after a while tho. The cat will most likely get stuck in the material then rip it open when trying to claw at it.

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.

I guess it would be possible, if the cat was right there when the tray rotated; but I would think it would pull it back if it was about to be pinched. It would have to have its paw in the empty tray for that to happen; any why would it do that.

I think it would still work. Perhaps you could cut the hole higher so that he would have extra space. Cats are quite flexible!! This has worked great for us! The dogs are sad they don't get cat food anymore!!

It doesn't require a lot of pressure, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for anyone with arthritis...even my hand will get sore/tired after awhile. I also agree with Chris's analysis, but I do like it for quick jobs i.e. cat litter, but I have to use a regular vacuum for the whole house. And the mopping feature sucks.
