Install A Cat Door


Cat doors keep your cat happy and content. They allow him or her to roam free whenever he or she wants. That is treasure to a cat! Cats enjoy their territory including the inside outside of the house. The cat door will allow him the freedom to use that territory and generally have a more happy life. The door will enable your cat to access both inside and outside areas freely. Your cat has the freedom to go out when he wants but also come inside for warmth, love, and food.


Your life a little easier as too. No longer do you have to open the door to let your cat out or in. No more noises from outside or in!


Cat doors provide a way of allowing your cat to escape other theongs - people and other animals. It gives him freedom and privacy. Having a cat door installed in your home will prevent the larger dog from following your cat into his private area as well as keeping him from rummaging through the cat's litter box.


The usual cat door is made of plastic that flaps down and allows your cat to push on it in order to open it. The flap shut when the cat crosses over and is usually kept lightly closed by magnets which helps with heat loss.


How do you install a cat door? Several options are available. I have a sliding door that leads to my garden and I put panels into the end of the slider and fixed the pet door into it. You could also use a full screen door that you fix on your main door that has the open flap. You may not be the practical kind of person - in that case hire someone to do it for you - it shouldn't take long.


be aware that your cat may not be the only animal that uses the door. Possums, raccoons, and even stray cats have found their way into many homes through the easy access of a cat door
