My cat needs a place to eat grass. Will grass come up through the bottom of the ABO devices, so the cat can chew it?

It depends on how long the grass is. The mesh is a small weave so if the grass is very long it will just press it down. It wouldn't be very efficient for grass eating.

It's a pretty fine mesh - I don't believe your kitty could get grass through it. My suggestion would be a folding crate without the plastic bottom piece in it. your kitty could enjoy eating and napping in the shade. We purchased the ProSelect Wild Time Pet Cage Hammock from Amazon and our kitty LOVES it! We use a portable cage large enough for some freedom of movement, room for the hammock to hang and small enough to be handleable! (Midwest Life Stages Folding Metal Dog Crate 36"L x 24"W x 27"High). Hope this helps

If what you are referring to is the bottom of it, yes. Meaning in case your cat does his/her #1 while in the carrier (maybe because of a long trip or s/he gets scared) the plush seating area will get wet but there is stiff plastic piece between that and the base so it will prevent leakage outside.

Mechanically, I see no reason why not. My dog sticks her tongue into the grooves to pick up the food. You know your cat's personality. Finicky cats might not want to make the extra effort required to extract the food. Good luck!

I did not use if for that reason, however I do use it to keep the cats from the bird when I'm not home..... An agile cat could jump this gate if it wants to. My suggestion would be to use this on the bottom and place another baby gate on top of it to make it too tall to jump. I've had to do that as well. Good luck. I hope the cats become fast friends.

I have two cats and they never touched it. They often would lie NEAR the container with the moss but they never ate or touched it. So I didn't have any issues. If however you are hoping that the moss would make a comfortable cushion for the cat with less mess than dirt, I don't think it would cause any harm to the cat but I would question if your cat would really appreciate the modification to their current bed.

I doubt it would slow down their eating as the spaces between the raised bumps are designed to be just large enough to barely fit a dog's snoot. A cat can fit in the spaces too easily and it probably wouldn't slow them down.

No. The inside bottom is covered with the same "fur" as the rest of the unit. It's not cushioned at the bottom part, so you may have to put some sort of removable cushion there anyway. My cat LOVES this product. She only lays on the top part.

no this would not stop if cat. the Velcro is not solid from top to bottom. It I just 2 or 3places along the edges. A cat could push threw if they wanted to.

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

Cats could probably easily enter. There is another one a friend told me about that has a magnetic bottom panel. If you're worried about cats I would suggest finding on like that

Like one of the other responders, I too switched to the larger ABO Gear Happy Habitat, which is sturdier and easily accommodates four cats. The one you're looking at - of which I've owned two - is crowded for three, even if they get along.

She short answer is yes. Squirrels, coons, rats and anything living in the woods can and will chew through anything except "strong" metal. I have had a little problem with varmints chewing our feeders but nothing we can't deal with. Usually they are there for the corn and leave wires and solar panels alone. If you have to mend your wires more than once, you need to come up with some way of enclosing them in flexible metal sheathing or strong conduit. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

One of my cats eats the plastic plant. She's a bit mental. We just shoo her away. I never put the excelsior, or whatever the straw/grass like product is, around the base of the plant. When you clean the box you also have to clean the lid and in doing so you have to turn it over and all this stuff is going to fall out. So I just left out the grass out. Other than that, these boxes are awesome. Guests think they are real plants and planters. A great purchase for our household!

I don't have any problem with Friskies 5.5oz size small cans of cat food. If they are smaller than that, I'd recommend putting a cardboard piece on the bottom. Not much of a problem--easy to fix.

Squirrels can get suet through the bottom. I have mine partially bloched with the tops of two cat food cans.

If your cat will not chew on the extension cord it may be safe. I would advise using an outdoor orange heavy duty extension cord.

I guess it would depend on the consistency of the barf...but the mesh I believe is plastic and if it went through to the under part you would just reach on and wipe it out no problem....none of my cats have ever barfed on mine
