Review on 🐱 Cat Mate Locking Cat Flaps: Silent Action, Weather-Proof Polymer, Fully Brush Sealed Flaps with Magnetic Closure by Lorri Ciccio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mitzi, Mirabelle and Meiko ❀️ these are the doors to new adventures.

Love it and so do the kittens. Mine was installed by a contractor who added an enclosed large patio/room. I was skilled, but drilling through a cement block with a chisel and making custom wood paneling was more than I cared to assume. Nice and tight magnetic clasp that fits all 3 of my cats. The door is light and transparent. They always look before they look in. Planning on just duct tapeing the door frame for summer 2/2 because of the big cat traffic. Children get a little short-tempered when forced to stand in line. It comes with a template for easy hole sizing and installation. The instructions are clear and the locks can be set differently for both directions. I also have an aluminum storm door on my porch; I found that drilling 4 large corner holes was easy enough, but sawing out the outline of the template with a jigsaw was a little tedious. I need even longer screws for this, as the thickness of the door dictates this. FYI, even a meiko, a 14-pound big cat, and a big cat fit inside. See photo. I recommend masking the door with duct tape until they get used to opening it.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • So far so good
