The Magnetic Cat Door: Cats Need To Come And Go Too
While a magnetic cat door sometimes operates on batteries or on regular house
electrical current, that doesn't mean that it's always the case, which means
that they can continue operating even when there's a power failure. This feature
is very convenient, as the door won't let the cat be locked out during bad
weather because the storm kocked out the electrical system of the neighborhood.
Understanding Magnetic Doors
The magnetic pet door responds to a small magnet that is attached to a collar
worn around the cat’s neck or to keys worn on the cat’s collar. When this magnet
is close to the door due to the approach of the cat, the door opens. The cat is
then free to go and come at their convenience.
The idea behind this concept is to give freedom of movement to the cat, who can
them come and go without the need of the owner to interrupt his or her
activities just to open the door or a window for the pet.
Safety
The magentic cat door has a feature that adds safety to your cat's life: it will
lock itself after your cat has passed through it. This will keep unwanted
animals from getting inside the house. Plus it will protect against theft
because a person will not be able to slip through the locked door either.
Some magnetic cat doors even have some extra features that will allow you to
modify how and when access is granted. They are fairly easy to install and are
very well-built.
A magnetic pet door is resistant to water, which means that you won't have to
worry about rain or winter affecting it, and it won't let water come into your
house either. Convenient as they may be, magnetic cat doors aren't recommended
for young kitties.
Price
Generally cost around $50. There are some expensive models that go up to $100.
Custom made models are also available, but they cost more.
If you have a cat, installing a magnetic cat door is a very good idea. This way, there's no need to open the door or a window every time the cat goes in or out. Oh, and a magnetic pet door will ONLY open for your cat.
