A cat door is often installed in a home with a cat. Some people call these
cat flaps. Ideally, the cat will come in and out of the cat door on its own
will. These pet openings have come along way since they were initially tried and
tested. They are framed with resistant plastic or wood. The doors will resist
wear and tear caused by the animal using them. These are important points when
buying or considering different cat doors.
Size and Form
The size and build of the feline should be considered when buying a cat flap.
Some cats are larger than most while others seem quite finely boned that they
cannot actually push open a heavy cat door. Regardless of the door, the frame
should be easily installed, yet resistant enough to last during different types
of weather.
The material of the door can be more flexible, with some even being made in
glass. Obviously, the size and material of the door should be comfortable to the
cat's size and strength.
Electronic Or Magnetic
These doors were designed to work in coordination with the cat. Some doors can
sense the presence of the cat through a "key" attached to its collar. This means
that the cat wearing the collar will be the only cat that can go inside or
outside the house. It can save the cat's life if it's being chased by dogs or
children. However, if the collar breaks down, the cat is stuck outside (or
inside) until the owner opens the door for it. Other types of cat doors detect
the animal and not the collar that it's wearing. There are limitations to the
size of the animal that the sensor may detect.
A cat door is a very practical idea. This will let the cat come and go by itself. You can even get a cat flap that will open only for your cat.
