Why it matters
This flap mounts into screen doors so cats can come and go without tearing the mesh. Built-in magnets close it automatically, and it locks.
The flap opening is 8 x 10.2 in, for small dogs and cats. The frame is ABS and installs with screws.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Screen doors
- Patios
- 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
- Magnetic close
- Lockable
- Low price
Cons
- Screen doors only
- Any animal can use it
- Screens are weak barriers
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.
