One cat can come and go, one stays inside? If we put a collar on the cat will it let the cat come and go but still keep the kitten without a collar key inside?

We bought this item specifically for that purpose: to let one cat come and go as he pleases and keep the other from doing so. All you have to do is put the magnet on the cat who you want to be able to come and go freely and put no magnet on the other cat.

No, the door swings open by pushing on it, but you need the magnet to get the door to open back up to come in. So if your cat goes out he will not be able to come back in without magnet. My cat never goes by it cause of the noise, but I have a shy cat. Sounds like you need the expensive door that slides open with the collar on, those are sweet but expensive. Good Luck

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!

Yes it comes with one. Order extra one to have around house as your cat will lose it at some point and they are hard to find. I think cat mate or another brand was developing a door that used you cats imbedded fri instead of collar. That would be huge improvement

The door is plastic, and so are the latches. They operate from the inside. Security is relative. This door will probably keep out raccoons and such, but you could kick through the door. If you are worried about human entry, don't put the cat entry within reach of the door knob. That way a person can't break the cat entry and reach in to unlock your door. I wouldn't worry about an animal defeating the latches and plastic cat door. By the way, I have a medium sized cat and a medium sized door, and there have no problems at all.

I can, because the cat door has a way of staying put, so it doesn't just fall out when you slide open a door. It has worked out well for me. I like the way you can control the in/out activity. I'd recommend the door.

Has anybody found a way to allow cats to come in or out without a tag? I no longer have the need to restrict the neighbor's cats from coming inside. Has anybody tried to break the locking mechanism to allow easy access? Thanks

My cat has chewed on the collar but it doesn't break off. He got it caught once on a door stopper and it broke off.

The unit comes with 2 tags on small key rings. All I did was pick up a couple collars at petco. It took a couple of tries with one cat having never worn a collar. You are also able to order 2 more (different frequency) tags from the seller to support up to 4 pets. The tag needs to hang down. The range is very limited. In order for the feeder to read the tag it must be placed directly in front of the bowl. In most cases I have seen it has to be close enough to make contact with the feeder.

Flat out... yes. Once I got the collar tight enough, my cat quit using my family room as a litter box, and he doesn't seem to think any other spot he has access to is suitable to use except the actual litter boxes. I have two cats and three litter boxes in the laundry room. The boxes are cleaned twice a day. I don't know if you can use three collars with one device; I only have one cat that's a problem. Refer to the other answers on that one.

your cat will be able to go out but will not be able to get back in.We use a magnet on the outside of the door to check that it works as it will click to unlock it.

This is not meant for your cat to be put in and then tied up. All the cat has to do is pull against the leash and the velcro will undo. As for escaping out of the harness with no leash attached; my cat hasn't ever escaped out of it while just wearing it. It's the tension between the harness and the leash that causes the velcro to come undone.

Kay, I don't think the door will lock in training mode. But I, like you, just wanted a timed cat-door. For me it was to let the cats go out once the sun was up and lock them in once it got dark. I do not have any issues with animals (raccoons, opossum, chupacabra) trying to get in and because I have three cats and the chips were kinda big I simply taped a chip to the inside of the kitty door. This way when it is set to open there is always a chip close enough to activate it and the cat just has to push on it. Any cat can get in or out during the day and when it is set to close no one can leave (actually I only "close" it so the cats can't get out after dark, but after dark they can get in). I hope this is helpful for you. Red

Two cats cannot eat together because the doors can only fit ONE head between them. If another cat pushes the one at the bowl out of the way the feeder instantly detects its tag and accrues feeding to the new pet. If the new pet has no allowance available then the doors close.

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.

Product can be locked so no activity is allowed, or locked so cat can get out but not back in, or cat can get in but not back out. Of course it can be operated so door works both ways...in & out.
