will it also defer cats and kittens who are much lighter than a dog?

It takes only a light touch to set off the noise so I feel certain even a kitten would activate it.
1564201
It does not work for me, but it does make noise with just a little bit of pressure so I would think it'd work for kittens.
1564202
Yes, it takes very little weight to make it go off. Make sure it lays flat.
1564203
Yes. It only takes a slight press to set it off. A toy poodle might not be enough, but even then it might. Anything bigger is good.

My dogs are smaller than some cats. Kittens may be too small there was a review I saw that said really light animals might not trigger. It is very sensitive though. A pounce would probably trigger

Have small 5 lb dog and it worked for her. A kitten is much lighter but if it jumps on the pad I believe it would beep. You can always try it. I am pretty sure it would work for the cat

They have cat collars as well yes. But don't put the dog one ones on them, it could overdose the cat.

I don't think so. It might be an inconvenience a few times, but my experience is that it trains cats pretty fast. There are always a few that are more stubborn, or just not fearful of it.

It should restrain all but the most-determine cat. Wouldn't trust it for toddlers, though.

I have small dogs, but do not have any cats...so don't think I am able to answer re: cats. This has worked great for my small dogs. You might first try putting up some kind of thicker plastic and try first before investing in the claw guard.

Probably not. I like it as it always my dogs to go in and out without any help. Do not have cats but see no problem with them getting around the screen door.

I don't have anything done with the cats. Cannot personally speak to whether that applies to dogs. Anecdotally, my friend did not with his dogs and still reported excellent outcomes with pest control.

Yes, they are very sensitive to any movement. They aren't very "wide angled" but I'm sure cats would at that distance.

No. Only 7 lb cats can be weighted on it. LOL Of course you can weight a dog on it.

I really don't know. At the time our cat was very tiny and she had brought in the fleas. She was a drop-off so we got her something for baby kitten. Was really great on dogs and probably would be ok in smaller amounts for cats.

yes, this worked with about 85% of the pets. As you must know with pets, there are always a few that seem to completely ignore any deterrent.

Don't know about cats. Works fine on dogs however it is a little small for my Sheltie. Might be the right size for cats.

No it will not. It's very beautiful and well constructed- but small perfect for cats puppies and small dog breeds

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. When I got this, I had the same concern. I think that if the cats were determined enough they could get through, but my cats have never attempted it. The doors are very heavy and magnetic, plus having two flaps is scary for cautious kitty. I wouldn't worry about it if you're getting a large door. A smaller one, however, I might worry about.

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.

It would - I have a 20lb cat and a 24lb dog and they use it with no problems. It is a great cat flap - super happy with it :)

I'd check to see if they have a smaller size for smaller dogs (and cats). I'm thinking the battery/sender unit would probably be a bit heavy for a cat to carry.
