Can you use this for outside house cats? Or could I prop door open?

no, no, no !!! doing so will let outside animals ( rats, other cats, even birds, etc...) eat too. just rethink it very closely. i use mine for two large dogs, inside of my house, and just love it!

You would have to reach around the open door to set the Jammer... I think that most cats would be able to get through a space large enough for you to fit your arm through so I don't think it would work.

The tube is on my deck facing the door to my sun porch. So far, I have not had any other animal activity. Could be due to the proximity to the inside of the house and human activity. The opening to the tube is small enough for a cat, but probably too small for an adult raccoon. Other animals might sense easy entrapment, but I am guessing on that. The cats, however, love it. Three sisters currently call it home.

Yes. My cats get out on the balcony through it. It's not really designed to keep animals in or out. It's designed to automatically shut after someone ( or a pet) walks through it.

Yes you can. My cat uses it as a place to take a nap but I just used a small bungee to hold the door open instead of removing it. She loves it.

I guessed you could put it outdoors, but I don't know what would happen to it if it got wet. I would set it by the door that the cat scratches.

It is an opening, no door. I have 2 and both of my cats use them with no problems.

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

Yes. I really do love this as it gives the cats shade or sun, and you can have one side down to protect/shade the cat or all sides open. It is easily moved around even with my cat inside. For a temporary use- not to leave them in all the time, it is great. Pretty well constructed. This will be the second year I use it. My cat likes to get into it when I have it inside also.

I dont think it will work with the window open unless you use a powerful screw gun to make it possible. My kitty just loves it this entire winter.

My first response is to say no, because the door swings inward but if you took the front swinging door off then it might work. If it was covered then you could take the top lid off and the cat could jump in but if there is no protection from the rain that is not an option. I have mine up under a shed, so I don't know if the rain can leak in from the top with the lid down and left out in the open.

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.

Probably not. The sides don't attach directly to the door and if you have a curious cat it wouldn't work as is. You could try some velcro strips on the sides.

I really depends on the window. The cat door doesn't have anything built in. A simple solution might be a stick the right size to wedge in the window to prevent it from opening.

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.

You can prop open or even remove it. Either way. Won't affect feeding. Door is just to keep flys and such out.

I think it would be wasted outside with dew, rain or moisture in the air... You probably need a commercial cat spray for outside shrubs and such... IMHO, I would only use indoors.
