While a magnetic cat door sometimes operates on batteries or on regular house electrical current, that doesn’t mean that it’s always the case, which means that they can continue operating even when there’s a power failure. This is one of its main advantages, because it means that the cat won’t be locked out of the house if the power failure occurs when the owner is away at work or on vacation.
Understanding Magnetic Doors
The magnetic pet door responds to a small magnet that is attached to a collar worn around the cat’s neck or to keys worn on the cat’s collar. When this magnet is close to the door due to the approach of the cat, 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.
Safety
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. 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. Plus it will protect against theft because a person will not be able to slip through the locked door either.
Some magnetic cat doors even have some extra features that will allow you to modify how and when access is granted. 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. Convenient as they may be, magnetic cat doors aren’t recommended for young kitties.
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.
