Most people think that a magnetic cat door works only on batteries or
electrical current, but most don't, which means that they are unaffected by
power failures or blackouts. This is a great feature of these doors because the
pet can be left alone and the owner will not have to worry about the cat being
locked in or out of the house because of a power failure or battery failure.
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 system
thus allows the cat to come and go as it pleases while the door is locked when
the cat is away.
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.
Offers Security
The magnetic cat door is safe and secure for pets to use because the door
automatically locks after the cat passes through the door and only opens when
activated by the magnetic collar around the cat’s neck. This means that if your
cat is chased by another animal, like a feroucious dog, the door will keep other
animals from following your cat 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. Magnetic cat doors aren't really harder
to install than regular cat doors.
A magnetic pet door is not only resistant to water and any type of weather, but
it's also tight enough that it won't let water get inside the house. They are
recommended for cats six to nine months of age, but are not recommended for
kittens.
Cost
They generally cost about $50. But some fancy models can cost 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.
