Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works but not great

If you have half-stupid cats, that's pretty good. I also have a cat with CH (disability) and he can use it! Likes: • Feels strong enough • I have 3 cats. All sorted out in 1 day to 3 weeks • Cats are happy and able to go outside (first of all) • Doesn't look out the window • Chubby cat Size is perfect for my cats (weight ranges from 9 to 12 pounds). Dislikes: • Weather protection isn't enough and you need to buy more. Mine also came with a black weather shield, while white would have made more sense to match the device. • When it's 'latched', it simply means there's a small, nifty latch at the bottom that snaps into the flap. My clever, dangerous cat can break the door open when it's locked, but somehow gets stuck outside until we hear her scream and bang on the window. My solution is to add a child lock (the kind you can use on the fridge) to secure it in place if I want it to stay closed. • There is a small magnet which I think should help close the lid when the cat walks through. However, mine doesn't work at all and I definitely need to close it myself. • I wanted to remove the bottom handles as they are a bit flush. There are very odd instructions on how to do this, but my husband and I (who have assembled a lot of furniture) couldn't figure it out. high. I usually mostly give 5 star reviews, that's a bummer considering the price.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • There are some nuances
