Why it matters
Turn the knob to set in only, out only, in and out, or closed. The opening is 5.9 in wide by 6.1 in high, for cats with a waist under about 16.1 in.
A non-contact magnet and brush seal reduce noise as cats pass, and the flap is clear so pets can see the other side. Sixteen screws are included for different door thicknesses.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Single-cat homes
- Interior or exterior doors
- Budget buyers
Look elsewhere if
- Doors too thin for the frame
- Cats larger than the opening
- Owners who can't cut the door or wall
Pros and cons
Pros
- 4-way lock
- Quiet magnet
- Low price
Cons
- Any cat can use it
- Small opening
- Plastic frame
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat's widest point and the door or wall thickness before cutting; check the cut-out size on the maker's template.
- Prop the flap open for the first days and reward your cat for using it; most cats learn within a week.
- A flap that opens for any cat can let neighbors' cats and wildlife in; selective flaps prevent that.
