FAQ
What is the Basic? That is the door whose magnetic closure has a lock that will allow you to either lock the door completely or leave it open so the pet can go in and out. |
What is the Deluxe? This cat flap door has a 4-way lock, which has four settings: closed both ways, open both ways, outside access only, inside access only. |
Can you get the door in any other colors? The PetSafe Cat Flap comes only in white, but you can paint it to any color you desire. |
Will this door be durable? The Pet safe cat flap is intended to be an economical option. However, cats tend to be more gentle than dogs, and interior doors often last longer than exterior doors. |
How do I know my kitty will fit through it? Make hole 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" in a piece cardboard and see if they can get through. This door only comes in one size, so there are no large cat door options for this type. |
Would this work on pleixglass or plywood? Yes, you can use it on thin materials. However, you will need a specialty cat door if you want to install it into a screen door. |
Are there doors that would go better in an exterior application? Something similar would be the Ideal 4-way Locking Cat Door or the Cat Mate 221 Cat Door. |
Would this be easy to install? It is meant to be a fairly simple DIY project, but it does require using a jigsaw so you do have to be handy. |
Can you get replacement parts? Yes, but they are only available through PetSafe directly. |
Is this available in a larger flap? Not this model, which is made for small pets only. However, there are other indoor cat door options that are similar, like the Cat Mate 221 Cat Door that have a larger flap. |
Will installing this damage my door? Unfortunately, there is no way to install a cat flap without damaging doors. However, there are sash window options that may work better for you. They insert straight into the sash window and require very little installation. They are another great option for giving certain pets exclusive access to the cat litter box. |
What should i buy if i want cheap cat flaps? The PetSafe Cat Flap is a good budget choice, especially for those looking for a four-way locking cat flap to block off their cat litter. It is a very good product and pretty easy for your cat to get accustomed to it. While it is not the most durable on the market, it is definitely affordable and good for first-time pet parents who do now know how their cat will react to a new door. |
I want my cat to have their own entrance, but I don't want a cat door. What are my options? The Cathole Interior Pet Door is one of the best cat doors for blocking off your cat's litter box. Unlike microchip cat flaps and other dog doors, this door is lined with a grooming brush that cuts down on your cat's shedding. However, since it is literally a hole without a door, it is not weatherproof and is not recommended for use as an exterior cat door. |
