The Benefits Of A Magnetic Cat Door

 

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.

How These Doors Operate

This door is able to detect the electromagnetic field of a magnet that is part of a collar that the cat has to wear, which turns the collar into some sort of door key. 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. As an extra feature, since the door is locked, burglars can't use it to sneak into the house or to insert an object that will open the lock.

There are a few models that will give you other options, such as leaving the door open or closed at all times. They are fairly easy to install and are very well-built.

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. You can even get one made in order to fit the style of your house, but that will cost even 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.
