Will a 15 lb cat be able to push the door open and get outside

The mechanics of the door make for very smooth opening and closing--in fact, the design is patented. But it's also a little heavier than the conventional pet door. I think a cat could push through without much difficulty, though I haven't actually seen one doing that (we're an all-dog household). You might want to contact the manufacturers and see what kind of feedback they've gotten from the cat people out there.

This is a big door opening for a cat. I use it for my 80lb golden retrievers. I would look for a smaller door opening that will be easier for the cat.

A cat should be able to open it, but be aware that the flap is not one of the flexible rubber ones, it is hard, jointed plastic.

My 15 pound arthritic old cat uses this door with no problem. I also have a young approx. 15 pound male and he uses it with ease. Don't know how the extra 5 pounds would affect use but I don't expect there would be any problem

It should work. My cats are rather large. Both are upwards of 15 lbs, tall and round. They through the door just fine. Its a great pet door. I put it on an interior door and I did have to tape the flap up. My cats can't seem to get the idea that they have to push the flap to go through the door.

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.

No. This door would not keep any type of pet in. It does not sit flush to the frame, unless you tried to velcro the entire length of the door. Even then...there would be a space at the corners. Plus, the frame is very, very flimsy...so it wouldn't take much effort for your cat to just push right through.

Yes your cat will be very safe and will not be able to escape, has a clip down on outside so you cat will be unable to open it from in side.

Unfortunately my cat is a rescue and he was declawed. He does use the top and crawls into the bottom. He is 15 lbs.

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.

Door may be too big for a cat, took awhile for my 30lb dogs to figure out how to work the double flap door. Now that they aren't scared of it anymore it works great!

My cat is 7lbs and it works great for her. She did break on of the branches off the first day she had it (and was smaller then). It is pretty sturdy but I don't know if it would be good for a 15 lb cat. It is over 6 ft tall if completely assembled.

My cat is 17 lbs and he fits comfortably through the door. I don't think it can be installed on a storm door.

I purchased this stroller for my 13 lb cat - I don't think I would go much above 15lbs as it does have some "play" (movement) on the frame and a larger animal may loosen the coach area from the frame - my cat is quite comfortable otherwise and I love it for getting him out safely for some fresh air - he's strictly an indoor cat.

cat would not be able to fit thru bars. But it certainly can jump the gate!

Yes. I have several cats one 12lbs and a larger unweighted one who have no problems with the door.

I would worry more about the width of your cat. My cats are around 12 lbs and use it with no trouble. They are fairly slim on their body shape. A rounder cat might have more trouble. Check the dimensions of the door. You could make a practice cut out and see if you can slide it over your cat! I really like the door. It is sturdy and well made.

yes. you can have your cat come and go all day and whatever time you program the door to NOT open (to go outside), the door will lock them in.

Yes, I think it will work with a 5 pound dog. My cats weigh up to 15 pounds and they go through just fine. Also I think it would work with a storm door if there is room for the flap to open between the storm door and the entry door. Thanks
