Does the dent in the lid go all the way through so a cat could stick its paw in the water? Does the lid attach tightly so a cat can't get it off?

Yea it is a feeding hole. Depending on the size of the cat and their skill level, a cat could potentially stick their paw in. Yes the lid attaches tightly. The cat should not get it off. It is a great bowl for a beta long term. I would suggest it to all ages. Good luck!

I have two cats one is an Eyptain Mau very smart and can get into anything. He can't get this lid off its a good fit and the hole is not easy for a paw to get in. It may be possible but mine has never tried. All in all pretty darn cat proof

A cat could not get the lid off, it fits very tightly. There is a small opening in the dent, but I don't think your cat could stick its paw in.

The rim firmly snaps and holds the litter liner in place. I bought Van Ness DL7 PureNess Extra Giant Drawstring Cat Pan Liner, 6-Count. As a side note, the rim has about a 1/2 inch overhang.

No flap, it is exactly has shown. Very inconvenient for pet, forces the cat to squat low & curve its body to enter. I use it without the lid. I purchased it because of the large size container.

It has a lid that unscrews on the bottom(or top, I guess) the first time I unscrewed it, it was very tight. It has a tab in the middle that clicks over various settings to control the opening size where the kibble or treats come out. I bought it to control the binge/purge of my cat, so I use kibble in it. I would warn you that it only holds about 1/4 cup of kibble, so I fill it often.

Yes, the lid is water proof and fits snug. The entire blue flap opens to allow access to food. The only draw back is occasionally you will have to assist the food in sliding down. My dogs are gentle eaters and the box does not move. Although one of my dogs have figured out that bumping the flap a few times produces food. He weighs 125 pounds! Lol....

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

Our cat is de-clawed on the front paws. I believe the mesh is strong enough. Our cat has learned to open the zipper with his teeth however,

It slips into place tightly (but not too tight). There isn't a snap, it just fits flush around the edge. My concern would be the giant feeding hole which is more than enough space for a cat to stick a paw in. The cat could grab a fish or the lid and pull it right off. We have a cat too and covered that huge hole with clear packing tape (on the top and bottom side of the lid) to make it safer. There is a smaller hole for a heater power cord in the back of the lid. We just use that to feed.

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

It has a really deep pan but your cat should be able to get in and out our one cat is 5lbs and has no problem even though pan is deep

It stays open all by itself! I can't see any type of normal cat play doing anything to hurt it. It seems very well made and I expect it to last for a very long time. Hope that answers your question! If I didn't say so in my review, I highly recommend this product and am very happy that I made the purchase! :)

The cat will have a sensor hanging from their collar in order for the lid to open. I think you'll be fine with this purchase. We had a similar situation with our pets and this fixed our problem.

The cap grows out and there is a gap between the cap and the paw. With my cat, he started getting caught in rugs, on his toys, and I even had to cut him out of a basket he tried to scratch because the edge of the cap got caught. He almost broke his toe!

Yup....If the container is full of biscuits it's slightly secure but once it's half full, it's can topple off easily... My cat has experimented it quite a few time till I fed up and has donated it to Mr dustbin...���

Edges of the lid are slightly higher than the middle which is fairly flat. The seat itself is very slightly rounded at edges. I imagine your cat's claws will damage the surface though.

D.M. Annunziata's problem described what happened when my cat used his claw and punctured the plastic inner liner of the collar, although it was definitely not slack after my husband inflated it. I'm wondering how it is that the liner under the blue cover was not at all like the "thick vinyl" reminding "Joan" of beach ball material. By the way, the Elizabethan collar available through veterinarians also presents a problem in that it is extremely difficult for a cat to be able to drink successfully from its water bowl since the "EC" gets in the way.

The pump sits on the edge of the lid itself, but a crafty cat could probably knock it all loose without much effort.
