Will it let the dog out and keep the cat in?

Hello! The Endura Flap that is used in the Thermo Panel 3e does have relatively strong magnets all around the border of the flap, so some cats refuse to use the pet door because of the force required to push through the flap. However we have also heard of cats that have no problem using the Endura Flap, so in the end it really just depends on the cat! There are no electronics in the Endura Flap to control who comes and goes, so it will ultimately be their choice whether they wish to use the flap or not. I hope this helped answer your question!

Yes, it will. I have two dogs and two cats. The dogs go in and out, but the cats stay indoors. I think if I wanted to train the cats to go out, I could by putting tape over the magnets so there would be less resistance. But its fine with me that the cats stay in.

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

The flap is pretty heavy and held in place magnetically. My cat passed away before we purchased the door, but I couldn't imagine her being able to push through it.

It should, my cat is 14lbs and there is room left over. The dog is 20lbs and he just fits.

Google something called Latch N Vent, it is EXACTLY what we needed to let our cat into the laundry room to use the box, but keep the larger dog out...

I don't have a cat, just a small dog. Though, it might work since you can zip up the top. Only one thing..., if you're cat can get under things, he/she might be able to figure out how to escape from the bottom. My dog has a bed that fills up the entire space and has no interest in 'adventuring'.

Yes, unless your cats are smart enough (like mine), and learn to open the door from the outside by wedging their paws underneath the door flap. Also, I have heard of some cats following a dog outside before the door locks again.

If you want the dog to go out but not the cats, better to buy a selective flap door for dogs, not for cats. If you don't want to let the cats out you just don't use the magnetic or electronic collar on the cats, only the dog's. If the door is going to be used by a dog, there are special doors designed for dogs. Yet, you should rethink your intentions... remember that the cats are too much more independent than dogs. Unless you are afraid that the cats are going to get lost or robbed, consider letting your cats to take a walk around. Is good for them. Good luck!

If your cat is able to jump over the gate. We are only using the gate to keep our dog in the laundry room when we are gone & are not using the extension part of the gate. A cat would not be able to fit through between the bars.

Yes. Of course. The door has this function specially designed for cats in an ill condition (by example: a postoperative) when it's best to keep them attended into the house. As the Operation Instructions Manual indicates, the door has four (4) access settings: 1.-IN AND OUT. 2.-IN ONLY. 3.-OUT ONLY and 4.-LOCKED.

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.

I've had 2 cats in it with no problem. I think 2 dogs might be a little tight.

Depends on how big your dog is. I got several to keep 2 cats off the furniture. Works very well. I also put 2 together to make a double-wide barrier to prevent the cats from entering the dining room. That also worked well

Probably. Though if it's a big cat, it would be a squeeze. Remember, some cats can fit their paws in the tiny space under doors.

Yes I think a cat can open the door as the magnets are not too overpowering. My cat went in and out of our old dog door and it was more difficult to go through. This door should not be a problem for your kitties!

I think a cat would be less determined to pull the guard off the door so it may work. I would suggest buying a larger piece of Velcro to put on the sides of the guard instead of just the one that comes with it for the bottom. i did do that put maybe should have tried. I don't have a cat so I'm not sure how they would react with something like that but it was like it was my dogs goal to pull that thing down everyday. and he did.

No I don't think so. It is pretty small. My cat is pretty chubby and just squeezes through the door.

Yes. My cats get out on the balcony through it. It's not really designed to keep animals in or out. It's designed to automatically shut after someone ( or a pet) walks through it.
