Pet Doors - Dog Doors, Cat Doors, Infrared and Magnetically Keyed Doors and FlapsPast pet doors were draughty and let in rain, stray cats and any other wild critter that came along.One antidote gives credit for the invention of the cat door to Sir Isaac Newton. Newton apparently cut a hole in his barn door so his cat and her kittens could come and go more freely. Today's pet doors are made of plexiglass or polycarbonate and are weather-proof to keep out nasty weather. Some pet doors have keys that work with infrared or magnetic systems to allow only the cat with the special key to pass. Clear flaps allow pet and owner to look through doorway. Cat doors can be installed in walls, doors or windows and are made of wood, glass, metal or even screen! Tips from Staywell for training your cat to use a pet door. Most cats will learn to use your cat flap almost at once but there are a few which may be a little nervous at first. The following tips, provided by a well-known consultant in animal behavior, will help your pet to take full advantage of the outdoor freedom and indoor comfort he wants. The most important rule is to be patient with your cat. Don't be in a hurry. Let your animal work out for itself that it can go in and out of doors. Don't force it through the flap or it may become frightened. Make sure your animal is familiar with his or her surroundings before you fit the pet door. Cats can develop long lasting fears in unfamiliar surroundings. Once you have installed your pet door leave it propped open for some time. You can do this with a piece of wood or by attaching a clothes pin to the top of one side of the flap, while it is open. Make sure it is secure so that the flaps cannot fall down accidentally. Let your cat become familiar with it and go in and out freely. Establish a motive for your cat to use the door. The obvious one is food. First feed the cat near the door, inside and then near the door outside. Repeat as often as you need to. Most cats, especially kittens, also have a strong urge for freedom, perhaps to hunt. Cats are also social creatures; they enjoy the company of other cats. This can be another reason for them to explore outside. It is a good idea not to use the lock for your pet door until your cat is thoroughly familiar with using the door. Your cat may become confused as to why you have installed it. |
