About 5-6 inches from my floor to the bottom of the entrance opening. The floor inside the box is slightly raised from the surface floor that the box sits on.

Sorry to get back with You so late . It is 5 inches. I had a fat cat and he can get in there easily. I love that and thinking about getting another one.

Hi,I measured 7 inches from the bottom of the box to the entrance. I have a cat that is 17 years old and he doesn't have any problem getting into the box. Hope this helps.

The "houses" are very small. I have a 16 Ib cat and there is no way he can fit into it. My small 9 lb barely fits. Also there is only one house. The second opening has only half a platform. Allowing someone to swat at another from the top.

Just went out and put it up aganist a 36" work bench. It winds up meeting the floor about 5' from the counter. Looks pretty steep to me but I think a cat could use it. Not a cat person so I'm not sure. But look at your space and make sure you don't mind having somthing that takes up that much room in your area. Hope it works out for both you and your feline friend.

The opening is 7-1/2" wide and 8-1/2" high. Our cat is very large (tall and long) and he has no difficulties maneuvering in to, out of, or within the litter enclosure. Hoping that helps you!

At the widest where the bars are bent at the gate, it's 2.5 " At the wall, there is a narrow space of 4 " before it angles down to the narrow width, with a great possibility of kitten getting head stuck. There a full grown cat might be able to wiggle through the 2.5, it would be a challenge with the danger of them getting stuck. I wouldn't recommend for cats, they are curious and will try anything.

You cut the opening approx. 13.5 by 8.1 give or take. The outside perimeter with the frame is 14.7/ 9.6, 1.9 inches. So, by the time you put in the door....they have about 7 inches wide and 13 inches high. My cat weighs 22 pounds. He has NO problem getting through the door. I hope that answers your question.

6 inches from floor to bottom of door opening and 11 inches height of bottom portion. I took the door off because I have a very large older cat and it works fine.

the actual opening is 5-3/4"x6" and my 14+# panther cat fits through no sweat -- it's kind of amazing, since he's pretty tall. important not to have it at floor level, more like 4-6'' off the ground. From the outside ours is at least 8-10" off the ground and neither our big cat nor our tiny cat (6#) have trouble with it. If he wants to go in or out, I bet your cat will be just fine -- the hardest part I've found is simply getting them to push the door open with their noses.

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.

I have two of these and while I don't know the exact size of the doors, I do know that they are the same on both sides. I don't have raccoons where I'm at, but I'm guessing that they would have a harder time getting in do to their width. Our largest cat is 16 lbs and he can get in, but it's more of a struggle for him.

That is a big cat. Our cat weighed 17 pounds but since then has lost one or two pounds but fits through the opening. At 20 pounds it might be a tight fit.

I bought this for my 40 lb Basset Hound and she uses it all the time. It's about a foot and a half high. She uses it to get on and off of the couch. The steps aren't steep, so your cat should be able to use them. It's too short to use for a bed, though. They make a 4 step one that I bought for my bed. They work great too.

Between 7 - 8 inches. It's for adults cats, kittens have a hard time getting in. Hope this helps!

He will love it. I have 8 cats and they all get on it at the same time. Three are in the 15 to 18 pound range. The top cubby hole is full with one in it, but they keep going back and haven't gotten stuck so it must be okay.

5.5 inches is correct, from the floor to the center of the bottom "lip" of the opening. This is a great litter box...hope you can make it work for you and your older kitty!

Not sure. Our cat needed a second or two with her head inside the opening before it clicks open. She was reluctant or unable to do that until I put a cinder block there for her to stand on while she was attempting to enter. Depends on how high the cat flap is off the ground. Ours is about 8-12 inches off the ground. I think the closer the door is to the cats head in its natural position/height, the more likely they are to adjust quickly to it. I love mine after she finally learned how to do it. I taught her by forcing her through it several times over several days. I now see my neighbors cat peering inside but wondering why he can no longer enter! Not sure. Our cat needed a second or two with her head inside the opening before it clicks open.

they are about 2.5-3" in between, so maybe a really skinny cat could get through. our cat is able to easily jump over - he is 12 years old.
