Cat Mate Large Cat/Small Dog 4-Way Self Lining Door

Not weatherproof, but has a fairly decent light seal to stop my AC from flowing straight to my basement. The magnet is definitely manageable for pets but does give a little resistance, so you may have to coax your furbaby through a few times before they get the hang of it. Not too difficult to install, but you do need a jig saw. It has eliminated tracking of litter through the house by providing access to the basement. This is the perfect size for smaller and larger cats alike. Totally worth it.

We bought 4 of these doors in 2017 because we care for 36 feral cats in our sanctuary. They are easy to install and work fine except for one flaw. Some cats push the door open while others may scratch on it until it opens. When this is done sometimes the locks are pushed so the the door only swings one way and the cats cannot come back inside. This has happened several times with once being during very cold weather and one cat staying ouside all night and the other time was during a storm and a lot of the cats were stuck outside and soaked and cold when we discovered them. I was going to purchase more today, however the price has doubled since our first purchase.

I have an extra large cat (16lbs and stands 19" tall) and this was a perfect fit for his bigness with room to spare. The door is easy for the cats to push open and makes a soft noise when bouncing back into place. If you have not experienced the convenience of a catdoor so your cats can move gracefully into their designated box area, I would recommend you try it.

Overall this is a well built, nice product with great features! It isn't, however, soundless as described and it is NOT meant for hollow doors. We got it in ours but had to use bolts and nuts to fasten it. It works great but didn't install quite as I expected.

The litter box is on a screened in porch. Our kitten was 6 months old at the time. When she meowed to go out we would gently shove her through the door. This was morning and night for a week. It was a pain but worth it. The door closes flush 90% of the time. This doesn’t bother me as it’s from our kitchen to a screened porch. I live in Atlanta so our winters are mild compared most elsewhere. My husband installed this and confirms the door needs to come off the hinges to do this right. He tried doing it with the door on and quickly figured out it wouldn’t work. Our door is 2 inches of solid wood. I bought the install kit to go with it. It wasn’t necessary but nice to have.

Our cats instantly took to using your product. The first day they knocked all of the door lock tabs off from using their front claws to launch themselves through the opening after they check the coast is clear from a sitting position before they proceed through the door.

So happy with this purchase! It was a snap to install, looks great and it has solved two major problems: the dog getting into the finished basement where the cat litter house is and having to let the cat in and out when she needs to go down there to do her business. Love this door!

I purchased two of these doors and had them installed in the bedroom doors of my house. Now my cats are free to roam the house and I can sleep in peace! No more scratching at the door or clawing the carpet. I should have done this years ago!

This one is sturdy and allows us to shut the door to where the litter box is located without blocking the cats’ ability to get to the box.

This was more involved installing in a metal door but we got it done. Now, our cats won’t use it! We have tied up the flap to leave it open otherwise they won’t go in or out. They will just have to get use to it !
