can this be set up to work with a cat door so cats can come and go on their own?

I wouldn't trust that because its pliable. It can be staked to the ground but if you have a cat determined to make an escape they probably could if you left it unzipped with cat door access

Your cat door would have to be pretty low or you would need to rig the funhouse to raise up a bit. The opening for the funhouse is only about 6 inches from the ground and our cat door is about 12 inches from the ground so it wouldn't work with ours. Hope that helps.

No. I don't see how one could and I don't think it would be a good idea. This is a great and useful thing for giving cats a taste of the outdoors, or even using it indoors to keep them from getting under foot, but you still need to monitor them when they're in it.

The only way that I can see that working is if you secure the Funhouse's smaller opening to the actual door that you have. I suppose you could do that with velcro.

Not so easy, I bought a happy habitat and fun run from abogear and sewed the funrun to the happy habitat but when I just went back to their website I saw this thing called the crazy maze - check it out - looks like it would be easier for a cat door. http://abogear.com/18-tents-tunnels

Unfortunately no. The netting and framework are quite light and probably could not withstand being linked securely to a cat door. Despite this it is still a great purchase and is much loved by my parents' cat.

This is a big door opening for a cat. I use it for my 80lb golden retrievers. I would look for a smaller door opening that will be easier for the cat.

No, I have a three year old tabby that can not get through the gate. We use the gate to keep the baby in and the cat out. so, it works well. I did not use the extension that came with the gate, so I can't speak to that configuration.

Yes. The door pops right off. My cats refused to use it with the door on it. One of them actually peed in my shoe until I took it off lol.

I don't have cats, but our daughter has a small dog (10 lbs) and she is able to go through the door just fine. It just has a magnetic strip attached to the rubber/plastic door.

I think it depends on the size of the cat. The latches on the doors are small and a big cat may be able to push the big door open part way. This would be excellent if you add extra, sturdier door latches.

Yes, but it's not as easy as getting in a regular cat box. I have the box in one room and now a pet gate across the door to that room so the cat has to hop the gate to use his box. Anything to try to keep my dogs from eating the cat poop...ewwww

Yes. I have several cats one 12lbs and a larger unweighted one who have no problems with the door.

Yes it will work. But, I found out some of my cats can go thru. and others can jump it. Dogs respect it.

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 reader reads the chip instantly, so they don't have to wait in front of the door for it to work. It unlocks as the cat puts their head to the door to push it open. So I would think it would work for you.

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 think it can. We had a difficult time Getting it to work with our cat whose microchip was where it was supposed to be. I would also recommend only installing this cat door in a wooden door. It doesn't work in doors that are primarily made I metal

The way it works is you have one direction where anything can get through (for example, your cats can go outside if they are inside). The other way can then be set to where only cats that have the magnetic key on their collar can get back in. This requires a little bit of time for the cat to realize that he has to put his head up to the door in order to activate it, but once it's activated, he can push through. The only problem is if you have a smart cat or animal that is persistent, they can claw at the door and pull it open and sneak through without the collar to activate it. It's for this reason that mine is useless. The cat I wanted out was too smart for the door and just pulled it open when he couldn't push through.

Yes. Can be locked one way, too, so cat can come in but can't get back out.

I did not use if for that reason, however I do use it to keep the cats from the bird when I'm not home..... An agile cat could jump this gate if it wants to. My suggestion would be to use this on the bottom and place another baby gate on top of it to make it too tall to jump. I've had to do that as well. Good luck. I hope the cats become fast friends.

No, if a small dog can go through it and a small baby then a cat will be able to go through the door unless it is locked with the locking partition.
