## Description

Looking for a new cat door? Our cat doors were designed to keep your Perfect Pet out of harm’s way and prevent unsupervised mischief.

Review: A good product at a reasonable price ($14.30/free Prime shipping at the time of this review)........ - Late last fall, a stray cat wandered into our machine shop and refused to leave. After a month and no response to our ads looking for an owner, we took the leap, spent the money on veterinary care he needed, and "Buster" became our official "shop cat". At night, when we're gone, he's confined to the shop since his "indoor manners" haven't yet fully developed. During the day, when we're there, he's allowed to go back and forth between the shop and offices, which meant leaving the door between the two open all day. After 4 months of this and the dust problem that developed in the offices, we realized we needed a way to give Buster free access between the two areas yet not allow the shop dust to roll right into the offices. After doing quite a bit of research, I decided on this one, and it has been the perfect answer to the problem! The door between the shop and offices is hollow, which was no problem due to the fact that the sides of this "cat flap" telescope and cover the open area left by the hole cut in the door. It's very stable and strong, even with the hollow door. It installed very easily...took about 30 minutes, which included gathering the tools, taking the door off and putting it back on when finished. (The easiest way to install this if you can easily get your door off.) We followed the directions as far as how high off the floor to install the cat flap...measured from the floor to the top of the cat's shoulders and added 2 inches, which in our case meant the top of the cat flap frame is 14" off the floor. That's about a perfect height for Buster, allowing him to go through without crouching but not quite rubbing on his tummy. I wouldn't go any higher than that, though. I like the magnet at the bottom of the door which holds the door secure, but it did add a little more training time because it takes a bit of a push on the cat's part to open. I thought about taking the magnet out but am glad I was just a little more patient with training and left it alone since the magnet adds to the door's ability to close tightly enough to keep the dust out, as do the little "bristles" all the way around the edge of the window part of the cat flap. Buster has a pretty long tail, and it only took one time of getting it pinched in the closing flap for him to figure out how to hold his tail just right when going through so it doesn't happen again. The "window" itself is made of some kind of heavy plastic that is spotlessly CLEAR; heavy and clear enough to have the benefits of a glass window without the fragility and safety hazard of glass. I think a non-see through window/flap would make training much more difficult. The fact that the cat can see through it to what's on the other side puts it more at ease when going through, especially in the beginning. It took about a half hour to teach Buster how to go through, using food and having "his people" on the opposite side of the door. Both are very strong motivators for this cat, so training went quickly. One thing we do, though, is, when the cat flap is locked at night, we rigged a "shade" on the office side of the door that gets pulled when the flap gets locked so Buster can't see through to the other side. We did this initially thinking it would confuse him if sometimes he could push through and sometimes he couldn't. Shade down, door locked; Shade up, door open. Now, we continue to do it for safety reasons since there are times, when he's feeling his oats, that Buster goes through that flap at a FULL run! Something about doing that seems to add to the joy of whatever game he's playing when he does it. Hitting that door with his head, at full speed, and having it locked and solid would HURT to say the least. Since we're not here at night to see for ourselves, we don't know for sure, but are hoping that there was enough time before he started running through it for him to learn the shade being down meant the flap was locked and he didn't try running through it. The flap has a 4-way lock, which I'm sure is useful in many instances, but it would mean memorizing in what position the little red knob has to be in to achieve whatever lock formation you desire. Otherwise, you'd have to get down on your knees to read....a pain for sure! Since the straight down setting locks it from both directions, that's the only one we use......red knob all the way to the right is fully open in both directions, straight down is fully locked from both directions. We installed the flap so the lock is on the office side (along with the shade we pull at night.) The door is brown, the cat flap is white, and if I installed it at home, I might consider painting it with a Krylon plastic spray paint to blend in better. For the shop, it's fine, and certainly wouldn't look bad at home, either, for that matter. It's very small and neat looking. The door is recommended for cats up to 12 lbs. Buster weighs just over 12 lbs, not a fat cat, just solid and muscular. He fits very well through the door, with no problems, as witnessed if you'd ever see him coming through it like a bat out of......the shop! I definitely recommend this cat flap.
Review: works great and price was good - I was pretty happy with quality. I left it propped open into the garage for a while so cat would get used to it and he did. In all fairness, I havent seen him open it yet but weather is much nicer and he has outside beds that he prefers

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 12lb weight limit strict or just a suggestion?**
A: The weight is a guide for you to gauge the size of your cat. There is no weight limit restriction. The weight is an indicator on whether your cat would be too big or not to fit through.

**Q: I have a hollow door I want to install this in. Will the liner prevent me from seeing inside of the hollow space of the door?**
A: Yes, the liner has a frame of its own that will 'close-off' the hollow opening of the door. Be careful, though when tightening the two halves of the cat door together that you do not put too much pressure on the door facing and collapse the door; you may even want to insert 2x2 sections into the hollow-core door opening to give it interior support.

**Q: Can I put this cat door in a basement casement window that opens by sliding sideways?**
A: I have used these doors for literally 20 years.  Whenever they go in windows, they get mounted first onto a board to fit the window opening, whatever it may be.  So hopefully you have someone, and/or the tools, to cut a board, cut a square hole through the board, mount the door with four screws and stick it in the window.  I have always finished the board with paint before mounting.  I have usually used only the 'active' side (with the red control knob) because the boards are generally 3/4" thick.  They work great.  Lock the sliding window in place with a stick/dowel/screw.  Cats love the doors.  So do we.  Go figure.

**Q: What are its outside dimensions?**
A: 8.25"x 8".  This is the second door that I've had, the first one was the exact same size but after 6 years the looks would start to slide and sometimes my dog would accidently lock herself out.  I paid someone to install the first door but this time I installed it my self because it was exactly the same and door had already been cut to this size.  It's perfect for my 7 pound Chihuahua.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Installs easily, looks good, and lock works well
*by S***C on October 21, 2020*

This Ideal Pet cat door was a nice yet still fairly inexpensive upgrade to a prior cat door (our very food-motivated, 8 lb cat destroyed a PetSafe one, pushing through the taped-closed lock and basically uninstalling it herself!). This Ideal Pet door installs securely with screws connecting both sides and, believe me, that's important if you have a need for the lock! The "dial style" locking mechanism is easy enough for a human to toggle but not so easy for a cat to move with its paw (which was also a problem with the PetSafe slide lock). The only thing I don't like about this lock is the bright red color, but this was one of the least-garish looking ones I could find in this price range. Other features of the Ideal Pet door are exactly as advertised so get a 5-star rating but you might want to consider pros/cons for your situation. The flap is truly see-through, though a tinted door might look nicer from a decor perspective depending on where it's installed and what's on each side. The magnet that keeps the door from flapping aimlessly is nice, too (you really don't know how much air flows through your house until you hear a non-magnetized door flapping back and forth with the slightest movements) but the magnet might be a challenge for some cats. Our cats were already used to having a cat door but it still took awhile for all three of them to get comfortable pushing a little harder to get the magnet to release and not being scared when it snapped shut behind them. A less-powerful magnet might be a bit better, or an simple way to block or remove the magnet if needed. Overall this is a great cat door at an unbeatable price. It installed easily and fit beautifully into our hollow-core interior door that's about 1.5" thick, covering the whole gap (yet another thing our prior PetSafe door failed to do). The size is perfect; we have three cats ranging from <7 to 11+ pounds and they all use it just fine. I highly recommend this door, especially having had an inferior one to compare it to, and you really can't beat the price for the features if they match your needs.
