Would my cat (approx 11 - 12 lbs) be heavy enough to trigger it to turn on?

By all means. It simply needs some weight. Cup would be heavy enough to get it going.

It does not get triggered ON... it is on... it is just the contact that allows the warmth to come thru. One of my little guys pulled a baby blanket onto his mat. It was warm as toast under that baby blanket.

This trap is very safe and will not hurt the cat. This trap is large enough for a 20 lbs animal. Mind, cats are very smart and step very lightly - trap trigger may not go off... Just follow instructions which come with the trap. Good luck!

Yes. I have a very fat cat about 19lbs who unfortunately has no front claws & he will jump straight to the middle section with no problem.

it's not a weight sensor - cats and dogs "move", so why would you think they might not trigger it?

Yes, but keep aware of where you place the detector. It works fine except with furniture taller then your waist and somewhat close to the detector, that the cat can jump onto it. We placed our detector near a stairwell within 6 feet of a half wall and when the cat jumped up, it triggered it. We moved it a few more feet away from the half wall and it worked fine.

Our cat is a bit over 13 pounds and it worker for her. We also modified it with bungees to make it stronger.

In my opinion this would NOT be substantial enough for an animal that weight. Even 75# might be pushing it. It is more the stability of it and step size that I would worry about. My cat is about 15# and I had 19# cat that I would not have used this size for.

Yes, absolutely. My cat was nine pounds with her claws and there was no problems at all. This thing is genius.

My cat, Gray tabby, is tall and weighs 12lbs. He has room to turn around and plenty of width. He does' t move that much in it. I think he enjoys looking out the 'Windows' and also feels secure. Hope this comment helps you.

Mine Cat's Meow has a button on top of the plastic orb to turn it on and off. Just press the button. However, your model may not have the button.

Yes you just have to put it up there and turn it on. Hopefully your cat will not like the high pitched beeping sound. I have one cat that it doesn't affect so I guess it depends on your cat and whether you're willing to take a chance on it not working.

I have mine installed in a small walk-in (6 ft x 5 ft) closet and my 10 lb cat triggers it all the time, kind of annoying when it happens at 1 am. I just close the door to preven this from happening.

It doesn't take much pressure to set it off. I am sure a cat could. My cat hasn't; neither has my dog. But a cat would only do it once, since the alarm would scare it. The alarm only sounds when pressure is applied; once the frightened cat stepped off, the alarm would stop.

I would worry more about the width of your cat. My cats are around 12 lbs and use it with no trouble. They are fairly slim on their body shape. A rounder cat might have more trouble. Check the dimensions of the door. You could make a practice cut out and see if you can slide it over your cat! I really like the door. It is sturdy and well made.

My cat only weighs around 10-12lbs, but she doesn't fit in the bungalow (and if she does fit, she doesn't like being in there). At 15lbs and 21lbs I believe the platforms on this product may be a bit small for yours. My cat usually only sleeps on the top, where she fits comfortably; the other platforms she will sit on periodically, but they aren't as large and open. I would recommend searching for a larger cat tree for your fellows.

It might not be big enough for a heavier cat. The opening works fine but I don't think mine are more than ten pounds. Unless the cat is just large/ long.
