I want a door to keep my cat in while letting my dog out. Will this do the job?

Depends on how clever and devoted to getting outside the cat is. I had a normal dog door for 3 years with my 2 indoor cats remaining inside no matter how much the dog used it. One day the clever cat I have fogured out the old, non-locking, door. I bought this to try n keep him in. But once he saw the dog still using it he caught on to the unlock noise and just follows the dog. I have to leave it locked now and it used the batteries to keep it locked...on the other hand.l our second cat never figuered out the door. Powered or standard. Ultimately it comes down to the cat.Hope this helps;) Depends on how clever and devoted to getting outside the cat is.

It did not for us, the door opens long enough that the cat went out after the dog, another problem we had was the shape of the door. Unfortunately our dachshund being round and long just had a terrible time going through the door. We had to send it back.

I have 100+lb dogs and never got to test it for cats. That's why I got it, but the dogs broke it before I activated it for a day.

Maybe, however our door takes 10 to 15 seconds to re lock once my dog uses it. It worked great keeping our cat in while letting our dog go in and out for almost a year till our cat learned to listen for the door to unlock so he could make his escape. An even bigger problem is that once out, there is no way for the cat to get back into the house.

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

When the lock door is on it would. But just the flap would probably not keep out drafts. My cat always opens the door with his right paw and that side of the flap does not close tight anymore.

There is a plastic panel that slides in from the top to prevent access to the door. It will stop your cat or dog from running in and out but will not stop someone from breaking in.

I don't know if a cat would use it as I don't have cats and don't know their behaviors or habits. My dogs and dogs that regularly visit my home are 84 lbs, 78 lbs and 22 lbs and all of them use the dog door that we installed in the wall. We've not had any problems of unwanted critters entering through the door. We've been very pleased with this product.

If you want the dog to go out but not the cats, better to buy a selective flap door for dogs, not for cats. If you don't want to let the cats out you just don't use the magnetic or electronic collar on the cats, only the dog's. If the door is going to be used by a dog, there are special doors designed for dogs. Yet, you should rethink your intentions... remember that the cats are too much more independent than dogs. Unless you are afraid that the cats are going to get lost or robbed, consider letting your cats to take a walk around. Is good for them. Good luck!

It comes with two doors to keep the insulation and if you just used one door a cat might be able to push it open.

May be yes for a kitty. The magnet which keeps the door closed can be pushed open easily. I think if a bigger cat crawls under the door it might push the door open instead of crawling through under it.

I am Sure it would work great for cats!! We have two pugs and even big dogs this will help with. My kitty uses a doggy door but I am sure it would work great for cats also. They do not like the feel of scratching on the plastic! Saves from all that sanding and painting !! We love our! Good Luck hope this helps

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.

The door comes with a sliding lock-out cover to keep your pet from going in & out if you don't want them to. Works good.

You'd have to do too much finagling to get it to work given the thickness of the wall. The pet door is designed for the thickness of a door. Too much of a construction project. I'd look for one designed to go in a wall. Good luck!

Yes. Absolutely. It is just a fabric door with magnets to keep it together. It is designed for animals to be able to go in and out of without trouble.

It is said to allow up to a 16 lbs. cat. You might need to purchase a door that is wider like a doggy door

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.

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, there is a solid plastic panel that can be put in place when the door is not being used. How secure it is would be a matter for the owner to decide. If your dog is large or you have multiple dogs, they might be able to force their way through, since they are used to the door and may hit it at high speed when entering. Never mind the tandem entry method. As to keeping out cats, it should be fine. Now, for burglary issues, you may want to increase the difficulty level.

I have a petsafe door and flap. It should fit as long as you have 4 holes at the top on your door.
