I have very smart and persistent cats. If not tetherred inside, could they push their way out with the no zip feature?

The no zip features a "lock" in the front of the canopy that the cats/dogs cannot open! It's very secure and tight when you lock it properly! Good luck!

No, I do not believe so. I do not tether my cat, and the front clip is sturdy and really hard to undo/open. It clamps down and I can feel it lock in. I have walked my cat almost daily since buying this, and he loves it. Not once has he gotten out, but there again, he loves it and has only tried a couple of times.

They couldn't get out of the front as the clasp holds the top down to the bottom securely but......on the top where it meets the back panel, it is not secured and they could make their way out of that if they worked at it.

The way this is made and the way it fastens I don't think any animal could escape. However a cat could possibly claw a hole in the net cover.
209352
Although the clip that holds down the hood quite well, if the cats can tear the mesh, they can get out. You can tether them inside as they have a very good tether system.

I would say yes, they could get out if you don't tether them in. The lock on mine doesn't really "lock" into place... (no snapping or noise can be heard with you "lock" the top part). Not sure if that's how they all are or if mine has a small defect. I have a 16 yr old paralyzed dog so she's not moving around much in there or trying to get out so it works for me.

I've had the other type with zips for years and the cats slowly tear holes in the mesh and I eventually replace them when's there is too much duct tape on the stroller--but I can't image a cat who could tear a hole in one in a single effort, large enough to get out. The mesh is plasticized and doesn't readily tear, it requires concerted, long-term effort (which one of my cats is willing to expend.)

Agreed - he can't pull forward and rip out, but he is a mellow guy. If he were to have a typical cat spaz attack, I could see that, if he were facing me, he could squirm out. That is a cat thing - they can get out of a straightjacket if they are scared enough. This is the most secure thing short of a barred cage, and is better than a nylon harness

No. The zipper encloses the whole thing. They have to he unattended and chew out.

Not mine, but a particularly motivated cat with some heft behind it might... Mine opens doors and still hasn't figured it out after a few years of daily use, so I'd say its highly unlikely...

I don't have a ferret, but suspect that since they are quite weasley, it is possible for one to get out. There are mesh vents on 3 sides which could be chewed by a ferret. I would suggest a hard cat carrier with a metal door.

Hi Germaine, I don't have a pet door so I am unable to answer your specific question...but I purchased this Fun Run to go along with the Happy Habitat outdoor tent since they can connect to each other using the zippered doors but it takes much work to get the zippers to inter-zip with each other...but the zippers are not as secure as I would like since 2 of my 3 cats have figured out how to manipulate the zippers and can easily escape-I wish the zippers were more heavy duty. So I have improvised and have figured out to place a heavy flower pot on the zipper closure so the cats stay put inside the tent. hope this helps with your question on other uses..........Marc Hi Germaine, I don't have a pet door so I am unable to answer your specific question...but I purchased this Fun Run to go along with the Happy Habitat outdoor tent since they can connect to each other using the zippered doors but it takes much work to get the zippers to inter-zip with each other...but the zippers are not as secure as I would like since 2 of my 3 cats have figured out how to manipulate the zippers and can easily escape-I wish the zippers were more heavy duty.

Honestly I have mine installed indoors and ended up removing the flap because my cat wouldn't warm up to pushing it open.. but in the time that i did have it fully assembled I felt that the magnet was very strong.. in fact that was probably the reason my cat thought it was too much trouble to push open. You'd have to experience some major hurricane force winds for that thing to pop open.

Cats are smarter than we give them credit for. Once they learn to push the flap in they know they have to push it again to get out. One thing about this cat box you have to watch out for is that the flap is tightly in place. It has a tendency to get stuck and then the cat cannot get in. After you have flipped up the flap all the way back to clean out the litter give it a little extra push when closing it. You can also keep the flap open all the time by simply folding it back. Enjoy!

No. But there is a netting cover over the stroller that zips shut. Unless your Dog, or as in my case-cat, is very large and strong, they cannot break the zipper. When my cats get scared, they go under the stroller liner pad. I've never had a dog in one, I always have them on a leash. If you are using the stroller for a dog, I would assume it is an elderly or injured dog, and, no, they would not be able to break the zipper.

The tent is very sturdy and won't rip. The only issue I had was that my kitty was able to paw and push his little head through the place where the zipper closes and escape. The solution was easy, I tie the zipper (there is a hole at the end of it) to one of the loops on the enclosure so he can't do it. But it would be impossible for the cat to claw through the tent mesh. I've had them in it daily for several months without a rip.

I would say yes, but this really wasn't an issue for me. My ferals have access to my garage and heated beds if they want, and must go through a cat door to get in, so they were used to it. I believe I did leave the flaps (they are just flaps that feel like felt) up for a couple of days and their curiosity did the rest.

no, if the cat is outside it might get caught on something and the cat would be stuck there.

You can program it to always be open for a cat wearing a collar with the tag. Otherwise, no.

The stroller has a net that zips up all around. so if you keep that zipped while cat is inside or if you are walking cat cannot get out unless he is a super cat that is going to destroy the net. I have two bunnies I use it for and have no problem if the net is zipped up all around when they are inside the stroller. Rabbits are faster than cats , they hop out pretty fast so if bunnies are safe I think a cat would be too.

Your cats would fit. The issue is if they want a way to escape...needs a small exist in the back of dog house..you will have to cut a hole for this exist.

See my review, but here's the quick answer: yes, if the cat isn't the type to work hard to get out of it.

Absolutely. We left ours on (two of them) while out of town. I do put a thin pad or towel on either side of them so the kitties aren't laying directly on them. We got them in Sept. and have never unplugged them. Hope this helps!
