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 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 Magnetic 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 system thus allows the cat to come and go as it pleases while the
door is locked when the cat is away.
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.
Security
The magentic cat door has a feature that adds safety to your cat's life: it will
lock itself after your cat has passed through it. 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 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. They are recommended for cats six to nine months of age, but are
not recommended for kittens.
Price
Generally cost around $50. But some fancy models can 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.
