Rarely, what kind of cat love is not familiar with such a phenomenon: 5 in the morning, and the cat is impatient under the door and sometimes makes very loud sounds. You have to get up, open the door to a fluffy pet, and then wait until the latter returns home and open and reveal the input sash again.
Door for the cat
However, this problem can be solved, especially when it comes to a private house.
Feline door
There are many such devices. In the pet store you can always buy an optimal option, and in the extreme case it is not so difficult to make it - if we are not talking about the metal input structure, of course.
To choose the finished products, as, however, and imagine the craft of our own manufacture, you need to consider several factors:
- The purpose of the passage - the sash is set only so that the cat can make the toilet, but also for the animal to move freely from the room into the room, go to the loggia and so on;
- Material - product can be made of aluminum, from plastic, from wood. The choice depends mainly on the material of the sash;
- dimensions - from 10 * 10 to 15 * 15 cm, in some cases it is not enough;
- A variety - there are several different kind of models. Of course, the choice is difficult to give an animal, but it is necessary to take into account structural features when choosing the owner.
Door for cats in the door
Products 3 main types are available.
- Lases - performed in the form of a window or tunnel and is intended mainly for installation on interroom models. In such an adaptation there are no own flaps, in fact, this is an opening option. At best, it is supplied with a curtain that serves as a brush. Cat, passing into the toilet, at the same time cleanses wool. Minus products - the curtain does not protect from smell and noise. Under the door, the animal will not shift, but the smell remains heard. In the photo - Lases for a cat.
- The window is equipped with a sash fixed on hinges. The door opens freely, the animal will be able to push it in any direction, entering or leaving the room. The smell is thus blocked. If you wish, you set the lock or latch when you want to close the room from the cat.

Minus Products - Unreliable Castle. So for the entrance door it does not fit this option. In addition, the sash when opens or closes, makes a rather loud sound.
- The actual door is to rather saying the tunnel with folding rod. As a rule, it is made of wood or plastic. The presence of the tunnel makes it difficult to use such a model for unauthorized access to the house. It is worth it, however, the product is noticeably more expensive. But if the cats are shy under the entrance door, then this option can be considered the best. In the photo - the finished product.
Modern modifications can provide other advantages. For example, folding tunnel flaps with a magnetic latch. The magnet is sufficiently weak, the animal will easily open the sash, but at the same time they immediately slam and tightly closed. Thus, the dwelling remains protected from insects, and the heat will not leave through a loosely closed hole.
Another addition is a special sensor that will not allow someone else's cat to use the door. The sensor captures the signal of the chip mounted in the collar, and does not miss other people's animals.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Solutions
