has anyone attatched the tunnel to a kitty door?

yes. The tunnels are easy to squeeze into an opening because they are made with fairly flexible wire circles spaced out along the netting. So I just tilted and squeezed the first wire circle through the kitty door and the netting then squeezes to accommodate the door size. Then the wire circle makes it impossible for anything smaller than a bear to dislodge the wire circle on the other side of the kitty door. Of course the kitty door stays open. I used the window fitted kitty door and cut one side of the wire cage off to fit the tunnel. I made a ramp down to the ground, put a dog pen with netting over the top at the bottom on the grass and arranged 5 tunnels and 3 cat tents along the boarders of the house and yard. My indoor cats can go out whenever they want. We don't have any wildlife bigger than raccoons so I don't fear for their safety. Many outdoor cats in my neighborhood so there's easier game around anyway...

Yes. Only 1 end will fit on the kitty door. So if it doesn't attach to the zipper, turn it around & it should work on the other end.

This cat tunnel is made of lightweight material and should not be relied upon for complete security. For instance, a coyote could chew its way through easily. The tunnel and "tent" components are made of cloth netting. If the cat door opens onto a fairly safe area, for instance, a fenced back yard, the ABO cat compound provides a safe outdoor play space. But I would secure the entire structure since it is so lightweight. My cats do love it.

If your handy, anything is possible. Mine is in the wall and i sealed the empty cavity with some tin so the cat wouldnt get into the wall. I could have done it better by framing the inside of the wall but it was freezing and was doing a quicky job but came out nice none the less. the key does not have a battery, it is a magnet and has a little weight to it but its on my cat none the less. a 9 volt battery is in the base of the door.

Yes! Although you might look for one that has a top gate as well (look for crates with three doors instead of just two) for easier loading of your kitty.

If you go look at Kittywalk containment and look at the products I believe there is a way to hook it up to a door so they can go in and out. Mine just fits perfectly on my deck.

Like others have said, you would first need to cut a piece of plywood to the dimensions of the window opening. Then you would simply install the cat door into the plywood. Obviously the window would be unlocked which may or may not be a concern for you.

Sorry, I have never attempted that, as the carrier usually sits near the front door for easy access to take my cat along on walks.

My opinion is if you move the archway up it will show more of the bottom of the door. We have a 11 pound cat that goes through the hole with little effort! Just remove the brush and your cat will fit just fine!

Yes, but I have lint pickup rollers to get it off. My cats love the tunnel.

No gate. It was a little daunting getting two cats out of the back of my Saturn Vue through the back lift door but I had another person and we were able to catch both before they 'escaped'.

You can put a tunnel in the entrance hole. I don't see any way to attach it though.

Yes, I contacted the manufacturer and they were able to send me an attachment that prevented the cat from doing this free of charge! It's a small plastic door that screws in over the chute so cat can't get their paw inside.

No. But I did buy another zipper door from ShelterLogic so I could drive through it. BTW this garage has been outstanding. It's lasted in teh desert sun for two years now, strong winds and my idiot neighbor bouncing hundreds of basketballs of the side of it.

No, definitely not- I put mine through a solid wood door- it's needs the strength and durability of the door for it's function- you are quite literally cutting a hole through the door and adding the cat door trim to it.

Our two male Abys are young and have their claws and no problems with breaking through. We do have to make sure the zippers are closed tightly as one time Louie unzipped an end enough to wiggle out. The cats LOVE the tunnel. We have three of them fastened together.

Yes, it is very hard. Unless your cat uses the key, the lever inside wont drop therefore it wont open.

The mechanics of the door make for very smooth opening and closing--in fact, the design is patented. But it's also a little heavier than the conventional pet door. I think a cat could push through without much difficulty, though I haven't actually seen one doing that (we're an all-dog household). You might want to contact the manufacturers and see what kind of feedback they've gotten from the cat people out there.

Probably not. Once our very clever Poodle managed to get her head through a corner and get stuck and we had to stop, extricate her and re-attach the barrier. There are spaces around the edges that are slightly larger. Cats are smaller, more persistent, and "slipperier." I would assume they could get through. I really think transporting kitties requires a cat crate or carrier. That's how we move ours around.
