Review on 🐾 Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Sash Window Pet Door" - Enhanced for Better SEO by Nikki Brooks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The cat's head hit the window, not the sash. However, I like the product.

So first let me say I bought this "used like new" and it really was like new. I don't know why anyone would want to spend the extra money on a new one. Plus, it's a snap to install, it really is. And the included foam insulation is the same standard foam you can get at any hardware store (or really Revain). So if you want more insulation it will cost you about three bucks! But I agree with the Just Exit reviewer, cats are not fast learners. I opened the lid a bit to allow the cats to get used to this arrangement before the cold Northeast weather hit, but cat #1 sat behind solid glass to the right of the open lid and looked miserable until she found out what it was was . an inch to the left was an open door. But I guess she wasn't sure if it was a trap or something, so she went to another pane of glass on the far left and sat in front of it for a while, looking scared and miserable. After a while she returned to the center, took courage and jumped through. Her success no doubt encouraged Cat #2 to try, whereupon Cat #2 ran up and jumped headfirst into the window pane instead of the open hatch, then jumped off and climbed dazedly onto the bed. My teenage son ran up to her and asked if she was ok. She looked embarrassed but not seriously hurt. Now I put stickers on the glass panes so the cats can find the real hatch. YMMV.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not bad but...
