Will it let the dog out and keep the cat in?

Hello! The Endura Flap that is used in the Thermo Panel 3e does have relatively strong magnets all around the border of the flap, so some cats refuse to use the pet door because of the force required to push through the flap. However we have also heard of cats that have no problem using the Endura Flap, so in the end it really just depends on the cat! There are no electronics in the Endura Flap to control who comes and goes, so it will ultimately be their choice whether they wish to use the flap or not. I hope this helped answer your question!

Yes, it will. I have two dogs and two cats. The dogs go in and out, but the cats stay indoors. I think if I wanted to train the cats to go out, I could by putting tape over the magnets so there would be less resistance. But its fine with me that the cats stay in.

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.

The flap is pretty heavy and held in place magnetically. My cat passed away before we purchased the door, but I couldn't imagine her being able to push through it.

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.

Ours is mounted about 3 feet and large dogs have set it off. I don't know if cats would.

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!

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;)

I think a cat would be less determined to pull the guard off the door so it may work. I would suggest buying a larger piece of Velcro to put on the sides of the guard instead of just the one that comes with it for the bottom. i did do that put maybe should have tried. I don't have a cat so I'm not sure how they would react with something like that but it was like it was my dogs goal to pull that thing down everyday. and he did.

Yes. We have it without being attached to the wall and it keeps our German Shepherd Dog and our cat separate. Dog dos not try to push it over. IT has fallen twice, but that was due to my mother stumbling with her dementia.

If the cat is with you so you can let it out periodically, the kennel is big enough as long as the cat box is small.

Yes I think a cat can open the door as the magnets are not too overpowering. My cat went in and out of our old dog door and it was more difficult to go through. This door should not be a problem for your kitties!

Yes my cat was out 5 minutes after she was put in this carrier. This may be most suitable for a small dog. It is only held down with Velcro on top. I really believe any animal could get out of this.

I've had 2 cats in it with no problem. I think 2 dogs might be a little tight.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

Will this gate keep out smaller pets? (kittens , small dogs, rabbits, etc.)

We don't have cats, but it looks pretty escape proof to us. We would not hesitate to put our daughter's cat in it.

Yes you can. I have a ragdoll mix cat and she is not allowed to go out either. We have the PetSafe SmartDoor and it works great. It was pretty easy to train our dog to use it too.

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.

I think it would still work. Perhaps you could cut the hole higher so that he would have extra space. Cats are quite flexible!! This has worked great for us! The dogs are sad they don't get cat food anymore!!
