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.

Yes you can lock the pet door so the dog cannot go out or other animals cannot come in.

I suppose so unless they are extremely aggressive. It is made of what seems to be a strong fabric. I expect if you locked a cat in it the cat would eventually rip a hole in it.

See my review, but here's the quick answer: yes, if the cat isn't the type to work hard to get out of it.

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

It should, my cat is 14lbs and there is room left over. The dog is 20lbs and he just fits.

This is a very good product, but I doubt it would keep a determined cat from exiting. A small terrier easily can push through the flap and exit, so my guess is that a cat certainly could. There is a sliding metal safety plate that is used to bar any entrance/exit, but that also keeps other pets from using it. I would not suggest this pet door for keeping your cats inside unless the panel is shut.

I don't see why it shouldn't. If you have the collar with the rope, give it a firm yank as soon as the pup starts with the cat(s).

Yes. Can be locked one way, too, so cat can come in but can't get back out.

I took a twentyfive pound cat for a stroll so I am sure you can put in a small dog inside as well. Hope this helps.

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 can be installed into a hollow door. You will need to fill the gap with a 2x4 inside the door though. It comes with a cover to stop the cat/dog from using the door.

I have a wood door on my laundry room. I had a handyman cut a hole, it looks like a mouse hole, in the bottom of the door so the cats could fit through but not the dog. This keeps the dogs out of the litter box.

Yes, unless your cats are smart enough (like mine), and learn to open the door from the outside by wedging their paws underneath the door flap. Also, I have heard of some cats following a dog outside before the door locks again.

I bought it for my two small dog's so it would work well for a cat as well. The bottom has a zip liner and the top has a zip mesh top so the cat would not get out. I put pillows in mine, and you could put food dishes. My dog's like to go in it when they want to be alone. It has lot's of room. I love it. It can also go outside, it is easy to transport anywhere.

My puppy (6 lbs) was able to collapse it and tip it over to escape, so I would say your cat could do the same.

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.
