Is it cat proof as well as dog proof

I think that if you have a roibder, older, more nonchalant cat, it would be fne. A skinny youngster could get through the sides if needed. My 4 year old cat wouldn't go there. My 1 year old would.

It would be pretty hard for a cat to squeeze by this. They would have to be fairly little and very determined. Not much open space.

A cat probably get through it, because the wire spacing is to small. Perhaps a kitten could, but probably not a cat. The wire does not come down all the way to the floor, so it would not prevent a cat from scratching the back of the seats. Hope that helps.

I don't have a cat, but I suspect so. There are no large gaps when installed.

Probably not. Once our very clever Poodle managed to get her head through a corner and get stuck and we had to stop, extricate her and re-attach the barrier. There are spaces around the edges that are slightly larger. Cats are smaller, more persistent, and "slipperier." I would assume they could get through. I really think transporting kitties requires a cat crate or carrier. That's how we move ours around.

Yes, your cats can get out through the door. Some people use these doors for their cats. I know someone who uses the item for both their cat and dog.I love this door tremendously but your cats would use it also most likely.

It does not repel dogs. Not sure about cats. As a matter of fact, my dog likes the smell of it.

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.

I use to have a smaller one for my cat but only cause I didn't have a dog at the time, I think it would be fine for both!!

It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode. I do not have a cat but I thought it would be a good idea to keep out unwanted critters. There is one problem with this. This door uses batteries to operate the door lock. When your dog who is wearing the magnet key approaches the door it engages the batteries to open the door. This runs your batteries down fairly quickly. You may be replacing them every other week. If your cat is not that bold and won't push on the door to get out then you can leave it unlocked all the time. There are powerful magnets that hold the door shut. I haven't had any unwanted guest so far. It will work if your dog is wearing the magnet on his or her collar and you have it on that mode.

No, it's not at all cat proof which is one reason I have contemplated getting rid of it. I have come home to the pots on the floor with the rocks out of it. I have also had the top opened up pretty well but the inner tray was still firmly in place..

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

I have cats it holds up to the clawing they do but a dog does a different type of damage. A dog may be able to push it loose but that us more about how the door secures the screen. Works great for cats.

You can not use the dog collar on a cat. There is a specific collar for cats.

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!

I've only used mine for the dog, but it seems like it would work great for a cat. It is very durable and has totally saved our door from our Golden Retriever's claws.

Not cat proof. I think a cat could easily perforate the plastic as it isn't very thick. Without plastic, they could easily climb and lay on it.

It would depend on the size of the dog, really. A small to medium dog would be able to put their head right in. You MIGHT be able to set something heavy on the top and keep a large dog from getting into it. We have an (extra tall) baby gate up at the entrance to the room the cat stuff is in, and it keeps the dog out of the room- which is the ONLY way I have ever been able to keep any dog out of the cat box.

Hi. Buy the largest one for a 65 lb dog. I bought the small one for my 9 lb cat & she loves it. They are weather proof too.

My first tower has REAL cat-proof carpeting--VERY GOOD! I just got another same one last week & it has different carpeting. This newer model has regular carpeting.
