What do I do if the magnets in the nursing nina cat don't work?

Mine worked fine but I probably would return it as defective if it is not past the return date. My 6 yr old granddaughter loved it and I'm not sure if she really cared if the magnets "wore out" so if you're stuck with it, its not unusable. Look on the bright side - they won't be able to walk around holding Mama Kitty with all the babies dangling in the air. Subconsciously that sight always brings on an unspoken "Ouch".

I would send it back. The magnets work great in the one I ordered for my granddaughter. She plays with it all the time.

I would send it back, or contact the manufacturer. The one I purchased was fine.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this cat toy. Does it run in one direction, pause, and then go the other way, or does it just stop? If it is stopping, then that isn't normal. Try switching out the batteries; if it's still stopping, I would contact Amazon and return it. Best of luck!

Absolutely! The magnets are extremely strong... unless your cat is related to the Hulk, these should work wonderfully! If the cat can figure it out then the world is in trouble!

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

Maybe? The magnet hook is in an awkward position pointing upwards; the fish magnets are in the roof of their open mouth. You could also untie the magnet hook and reattach a more simple magnet.

The magnet was pretty strong, but the cat would not use the door until I cut off the flap and replaced it with window screen. Since it is on the patio screen door, when it is cold or windy we open the glass door long enough for the cat to go out or come in. Hope this helps.

Use the provided magnets. Sounds like you didn't mount them on the door when you assembled the item.

We put some electrical or duct tape around the frayed wires and the end of the wand. It doesn't seem to affect the movement of the mouse. Our cats really love this toy, I wouldn't buy it otherwise. Between the wires fraying and the iffy sharp points and tiny loops where the mouse connects to the wire, the manufacturers really need to do some redesigning. We never leave it out unattended.

I have used one for over 10 years and even bought a back up in case - our cat refuses to use the new style - she is a main coon and set in her ways - on yours - sounds like the switch is stuck or fried in the on position - check out or repair the switch. good luck to you

They have replaced the magnet latch with a cheap plastic piece that does not work well. Please chime in if you are dissatisfied. I am trying to get Dahon to respond to my complaint.

Yes. You can buy a pack of two magnets that I have done in the past through amazon. Here is the link. Cat Mate Cat Collar Magnets for Electromagnetic DoorsCat Mate (31)

I believe there must be magnets of some type that snap it together. They are not visible though.

There is not currently one on the market as I believe the change of batteries would be too frequent. You may consider some cord protectors, or you can buy anti lick strips from nurtured pets, they have a cayenne pepper and other things in them and the cat won't chew them. Or you can buy cord protectors from various outlets as well.

If the pitcher is locked in place and the magnet is right, than you may need to replace the motor. I got a smaller magnet(spinner) and that seemed to work. The number for repairs is under the unit.

Is it possible to replace the cat flaps with a pet door that had magnetic cat collar?

That's where the batteries go then put the apron thats correct then push the button on and enjoy for 10 minutes with your cat and that's all the time it worked,mine quit working even after trying other batteries!!!

I suggest that you contact the manufacturer directly, they are very good honoring warranties. Mine is working perfectly after months of use, no loose magnets
