For all the negative comments, it seems to me it would let the breeze through and still keep a non-aggressive cat indoors. Yes? No? Thanks, Andy

No. This is a waste of money. The photo looks as if it is a door. It Is NOT. It is two separate mesh like screen. There is no latch. There are plastic pieces that fit into the sides of the mesh. The two mesh/screen are attached. I just stand them in the doorway and place a weight or tape to keep it closed. It will a non-aggressive OUT, I don't think it is tough enough to keep a non-aggressive can IN.

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.

It can be done, but you would probably have to modify it some to make sure it stays. Its not like the pic leads you to believe. The frame is made out of that "Slinky" like metal that in can fold up. Kind of like a child's play tent if you have ever seen one of those? The problem is does not come out of the package well where it will keep the shape of a door. It kind of will bend at the top or bottom and not stay flat to the door unless it is modified or hooked shut. When it is hooked shut, that means it can only be unhooked from the same side. In addition, it would need to be hooked at the top and bottom. I wouldn't buy one. Your better off buying the cheapest screen door you can find that actually has a latch and firm frame. I have been through SEVERAL Magic Mesh's variations and screens. I have now decided to just buy an actual screen door for my garage. I wish I had done that initially instead of wasting the money on these products that either don't last long or have annoying "complications". Good Luck.

I put it on my covered deck under the table hoping to keep me warm when I wanted to sit out there. Just doesn't put off enough heat to keep me warm in cold weather say in the 30's. I'm sure if you located it in a somewhat closed area it would be great for the cats.

I am not sure I can answer that. The material this is made of is canvas like and feels like foam inside the canvas. It wouldn't let air in but there is an opening on both ends to allow kitty to escape. The house is very light weight and put together with Velcro. I put mine up next to the wall because I have mine in a screened porch and not worried about predictors. My cat uses it all winter but I live in north Florida. Hope this helps. Patsy

Yes, we have one at home and one at a cat shellter where there are 14 cats in the room. Of course if you are standing in front of it, you feel the heat but the unit stays cool. The one at the shelter is on all the time, especially since its been so cold outside. Ours at home only runs at night upstairs in the bedroom. We love it!

I wouldn't necessarily say it kept me cooler but I defintely don't get as hot. My room isn't air conditioned and I usually end up really hot but I don't with this. I also have to say it washes really well. My eldery cat has relieved herself a couple of times on it; even with taking it to a laundromat, it's still nice and poofy!

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk

As long as you have ventilation. It pulls air from my 2nd floor window through the 1st and 2nd floor, and if I close the windows on the 1st floor, I get a nice breeze through my 2nd floor window on the opposite side of the house from the fan. And it's worth noting that it is several years old and still going strong.

I have a 17 lb. tabby. He fits in it just fine. Yes, I would def. buy this again, and again. I, like you, didn't want to spend that much money. But now I think of it as the best money I've ever spent. I empty it 2 times a week, the day the garbage man comes. My guests can't believe I have a cat, as there IS no odor.

It should put out enough heat. To the touch, it doesn't feel like much but once your kitty sleeps in it, it seems to generate more heat.Hope that helps. Good luck with your kitty :)

It seems to remain cool enough to the touch. You could elevate it or pot foemat under if you are concerned.

It is good as your cats will enjoy the fresh air and being with you as well as seeing birds etc. It is important to make sure both doors on the crate are closed when they are on the patio. The best crates we had from Amazon was the MidWest crates. Our cats are indoor cats but we screened our patio and our pets can go out there, best thing we have ever done; we do use the crates indoors. We have a bed, water, food and a covered litter tray in the crate for them but only one cat per crate in a 42 inch - it works well.

I sure would give it a try. It works for me. Keeps the cat boxes smelling nice and not naughty! And that's not an easy thing to make happen!

It's OK. No noticeable air will pass past the little fuzzy edges. On the other hand if you have 20 cats that go through the darn thing 10 times each a day, well you might notice a small zephyr of cool air. Where do you live, was it Antarctica? Chill out.

Oh yes! That's what I got it for... I used a small kitchen pan as a litter box that would fit inside along with food/water. I will say that my particular kitten didn't seem all that enamored with the small space though... she did attempt to claw her way out at one point, though it held up to her attempts til I could let her out. Is a nice way to keep a kitten out of mischief if you can't watch them, and can be staked outside for a bit of fresh air.

it's tough to help you out because I'm not near the kitty house now to look at it. Mine assembled easy and held up to nasty winds. Sorta tough to help you when i'm not there to see it. My 4 kitty's love the protection. Good luck. fergy

No problem here. We love it. Ours, only if someone hits it, our cat does sometimes.

If the door flap is already closed I haven't seen the wind blow it open. However if after a cat passes through the force of the wind may prevent it from fully closing and it will stay open about 1/2 inch but only on very windy days. Other than that I have no complaints with the door.
