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 a great feature of these doors because the pet can be left alone and the owner will not have to worry about the cat being locked in or out of the house because of a power failure or battery failure.
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.
This feature is a big plus for pet owners who are not home during the day or who are away on weekends because they will not have to worry if their pet can get in or out of the house while they are away
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. 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.
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. 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. While a magnetic cat door is very convenient, it’s not recommended for very young 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 amagnetic pet door will ONLY open for your cat.
