Perfect Pet Soft Flap Cat Door with Telescoping Frame, Small, 5" x 7" Flap Size

We have several around the house, and needed just one more. THis works great. you can seal them off, either in or out, or let them wander. Ours has access to the back porch, front porch, or the yard depending on which door is open.

I purchased this type of cat door because the other cat door I had installed unfortunately my cat got her claw stuck under the hard plastic swing door flap and the hard plastic inner cat frame base. She was a cat screaming. Thankfully my husband was able to get her paw out but with a few scratches here and there. So after that ordeal I started looking for another door and came across this type of flap door that is made out of a rubbery type flap with a magnetic bottom to the flap to keep the flap closed after cat comes through. I love it! No more issues! I also like that there is a door cover that slides over the flap area to close it completely when I want to keep them out of the garage. Lastly as far as weatherproof all I can say is the door is installed going out to the garage from inside our house, but it does get cold in there during the winter and so far I don't feel a large amount of cool air coming through which is good.

Very good quality easy to install. Unfortunately not so easy to get the Flippin cat to go through it.

We used half the door and the plastic with the magnet. We threw the thick side of the replacement doir out since we couldn't use it

We live in a rural area where people dump unwanted cats all the time. We trap, neuter, vaccinate and release as many as possible. Some of the cats leave after their veterinary visit, but others decide to stay. Because there are too many of them to keep in the house, our garage has become Kitty Central. Accessibility is through a very busy cat door.I bought this cat door to install into the garage door that we replaced a few weeks ago. Despite its low cost and plastic construction, it is quite sturdy. This door seems to be holding up well for our dozen-plus felines, so I suspect it will also work nicely for normal-sized kitty households.Our 18 lb Fat Boy finds the door tight, although he does manage to squeeze through it. It fits our other kitties fine. A number of reviewers commented about how small the door is, although the 5x7" flap is identical to the cat door we replaced, which accommodated cats of all sizes. We did have to tape the flap open for a few days to teach the kitties how to use the new door. The magnet holding the door closed was more of a point of confusion than the small flap. (Our old cat door's magnet was missing, so the kitties had to learn to push this door open.)

We easily installed this cat door. It took less than 40 minutes and it is absolutely awesome. We have a small house and I'm pregnant now. We have been using a hall closet for cat litter for two years now. I didn't want my baby crawling around in cat boxes obviously and we always had to keep the hall door propped open for the cats. The flap is a little stiff at first and it does take some time to soften up and stop sticking in weird positions. But so far, we have saved a ton of money by not having to have the garage door propped open for our cats to be able to come in and out of the house during the day while our back door was open to the outdoors.It took some coaching at first for the cats to go in and out. They were extremely stubborn. We would just set their paws inside the cat door and give a little nudge to their butt. Finally, after three days of trying, they finally went in and out on their own. It was totally worth the trouble for sure. Now our cat boxes are in the basement, we don't smell them anymore and there is no cat litter up and down my hallway and no worries about the baby crawling around.Be patient with your cats and keep gently coaxing them from both sides. You really need two people to do this. One to shove the cat through and another to shove it back through the other way. Practice a few times a day and in three to five days, they should have the hang of it! It's an awesome cat door, very sturdy, nice looking and we love it!

I installed in my basement door inside the house. Cats love hanging out downstairs where it's cool and dark. 3 cats using several times a day and it's been over a year. They can easily push it open and it closes and stays closed. Some I've used before start bending and stop sealing. This one has held up well. Still seals tight and I've had no issues. Not sure how weather would affect it as mine is inside.

The media could not be loaded. Update:I have now had this door since March 10, 2014 and today is 8/28/2018. This video was taken today. The door is still working great. My cat uses this multiple times a day as out boxes and food are in the basement. Very happy.-------------------------------------------------------Very happy with this pet door. Absolutely get the soft flaps for cats. I am using it for a basement door so my cat can get to the litter boxes. The basement is not heated and I am in northern NJ so it is pretty cold down there. I can feel a slight draft in the bottom of the door where the magnet lifts up to close the flap. It's minimal but it does has a slight draft. I did put some insulation around the hole in the door. My cat is 12 pounds and fits fine. I have been told you should train the cat by taping the door in the open position. I instead shut my cat in the basement side (with the litter/food/water) and kept opening the flap so he could see us on the other side. Eventually with a little coaxing he walked through the hole with me holding the flap up. I continued to put him down there every few hours doing the same thing but holding the door flap lower and lower so he would slowly feel the weight of the flap on his head/back until he was pretty much pushing it up himself. I then did it a few times going in the other direction. By the next day he was using the flap all on his own.
