In some cases the magnetic cat door operates on batteries or electricity, but
most do not which means they are not subject to battery or electrical failure
and are ever-lasting. 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.
How These Doors Operate
This kind of door can sense a magnet that is installed on the collar of the cat,
which works as some sort of "key" that will open the door to the cat. When the
pet comes close to the door the magnetic pull releases the latch and the door
opens. The cat is then free to go and come at their convenience.
The main purpose of the magnetic cat door is to let the cat into or out the
house without the help of the owner, who can even go out on vacation without
worrying about the cat.
Offers Security
One of the safety features of the magnetic cat door is that it only opens for
your cat and for nothing else, locking itself after the cat is inside the house.
So, if your cat is chased by animals or by mean spirited children, once it's
inside the house, the door will protect it from pursuers. 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.
These doors normally come with the following settings which can be set to the
owners liking: In and Out, In only, Out only and Locked. Despite what some
people think, these doors are very easy to install.
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.
Cost
Their price is about $50. However, some models cost up to $100. Luxurious or
custom made models can 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.
