How easy is this to remove and then install again? Would like to use it in warm weather but not in winter - keep cats indoors in winter. Thanks!

Easy to install/remove, but you would likely have to reinstall your original lock. My cats don't go outside, just to a screened lanai.

It just slid right into the sliding door frame, and I did not use any screws. So it was extremely easy to just put in and take out again.

I bought this product & put it on my cat. It goes on very easily & seems comfortable because our cat didn't try to get it off at all. You have to attach a leash to it if you want any control over your cat when he is outside. Maybe the person who watched the cat playing outside thru a window had a rope or leash attached to a stake or clothesline.

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

I have two suggestions. One is to remove the old one, just as you thought. The other is to temporarily remove the top from the Clevercat, just to let her get used to it. Once she is going in regularly, she will probably love it. All our cats do.

I used this in my garage to keep ferel cats out. It worked very well for that. Once the cats were out I am working on bats in my attic, it seems to work for this also. Time will tell I have only had it on for a week or two. The weather here has not been very warm until the last few nights, that's when the bats like to come out.

You mean fabric wise or remove one? The only ones I would suggest removing is the top or bottom, due to stability issues. They fit inside each other snuggly with about an inch of one inserted into the top of another. The way I've seen cats race up & down them, you want that stability.

Violet: I have not had this house through the winter yet. It is so well built and you can get the heating pad with it like I did and your kitties should be warm all winter. I think with the pad it should be fine in the coldest of temperatures. Getting in and out of it in the snow might be a problem as the opening is right on the bottom. I always clean area's for my birds and will add the area in front of the house for the cat. It is very sturdy and should have no problem at all covered with snow still keeping them warm. Hope this helps with your decision. I really do think this is a great purchase. It's made so very well it will last for years and years. Violet: I have not had this house through the winter yet.

You would have to put is all along the edges or the cat goes around the places you put it. I didn't like it as my husband and I kept getting stuck and then it is difficult to remove.

Easy...squeeze and pull off...and just push the new refill onto the roller. We use our roller every day and love it. Our cat sheds quite a bit and the Evercare rollers make life much easier! &#128515;

Took my husband 5 minutes to install...just cut out the door with the template (measure up so it's no too high or low for your pet)...& screw the pieces together,making sure the red/green tab locks are on the INSIDE...it's nice that it is clear,so if you have more than 1 pet,they can see each other & not be startled.You WILL get pet hair around the door from the "insulated" strip where they enter/exit...but our "fluffy" cat has an easier time going in & out of this larger door now :)

Mine has been plugged in all winter and I have had no problems. It is by the garage and plugged into an extension cord so I made sure the plug wouldn't get we! It has been in the -40 and lower and still works, but the cats rather be inside now!

The only way I can see to keep the cat door open permanently would be to tie it - like with little zip ties. It's welded on, so removing it isn't an option. At least not on my gate.

You remove the door handle, usually there's two screws and the two halves separate from the door.Slide the two halves back together with this in place on whichever side you'd like. You will need to remove a couple of notches that are cut out in the kit which are used to keep the whole thing from rotating with the handle.Just a screw driver is needed. No glue, no additional screws besides what are already in the door. This kit worked great to keep our over-intelligent cat out of certain rooms.

Depends on your definition of easy... you need to take off all 9 bolts/wing nuts and lift the top off to remove the door. Your cat might accept it as a bed with the door on but open.

I don't know. I can tell you my part-time outdoor cat warmed up to this scratcher a lot faster than I expected. She gets her outdoor time (not lately since she doesn't like the Michigan cold). If you're out of options, this wouldn't be a terrible thing to try, but I can't promise it'll solve your predicament. Wish I could've helped more. Every cat is unique. Good luck.

I wouldn't cause then it won't stay as secure that's why I removed all the old sisal first. Kinda pain n the ass but wow did it turn out great and lasting wonderfully!! All the cats use it and it's holding up nicely:-D

I had my last one through two winters in NE Ohio. It probably would have lasted one more but our cat started laying on top in the sun and ended up ripping it with her claws. I bought a new one, but pulled the old one over the top of the new one for this winter.
