Why it matters
This medium Perfect Pet door has a 7 x 11.25 in flap, roomy enough for large cats. The telescoping inner frame adapts to doors from 1 1/4 to 2 in thick.
Tamper-proof mounting means it can't be removed from outside, and the clear thermoplastic flap resists impact. Ideal says installation averages about 20 minutes.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Large cats
- Exterior doors
- Small dogs and cats together
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
- Large flap
- Telescoping frame
- Tamper-proof
Cons
- Any animal can use it
- No locking modes stated
- Larger cut-out
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.
