Just For Cats
Many pet owners are surprised that there are so many cat doors available. So what's the difference between a small dog door and a cat flap? Using specific cat doors and cat flaps for your cat offer better protection and security for you and your cat. To be blunt, purchasing a cat door for your cat is the superior choice.
Should I Allow My Cat in the Yard?
One of the biggest questions that our customers have when they think about a cat flap is how they're going to contain the cat once he gets out into the yard. Patio Pacific Inc strongly recommends that it is very dangerous for the cat if you simply let her roam the neighborhood. Both Purr...fect Fence and Cat Fence-In have containment systems to keep your cat confined safely in your yard. Check them out. Either way, you'll keep your cat safe and that's what matters.
Notes: If you want to install a cat flap in a wall, it's going to be easier if you choose one that accepts tunnel sections that will "frame out" the wall for you. You'll find these tunnel sections at Cat Door Tunnel Sections.
If you get an magnetic or electronic cat flap, you'll find extra collar keys for it at Cat Flap Collar Keys. We think it's a good idea to keep a spare handy.

What's the Difference?
Thirty years ago in the United States pet doors were generally 'small', 'medium', 'large' and 'extra large'. If you had a cat, you generally used a 'small' unless it was a very big cat.
Then we began seeing 'cat flaps' imported from the UK and people began buying them for cats instead of the 'small' sizes. The 'cat flaps' do differ a bit in design. They tend to be much more square, they have rigid flaps and they're always plastic framed. Often they will include a 4-way lock.
However, if you prefer a flexible flap or a metal frame or would like the flap to be taller than it is wide there is no good reason not to get one of the original 'small' (or larger) sized pet doors. Likewise, if a particular 'cat' door is a good fit for your dog and has the features you want, get it!
Just don't tell the dog.
