is this light enough for a cat to push open

I had a difficult time installing it on my screen door since I have "pet screen" which is thicker than regular screen, so I needed to return it. It is made out of hard plastic. If you ordered the small size and you have a sturdy cat, I think they could push it open.

a cat should be able to push it open -- however, I found that the unit was poorly designed and constructed -- it fell apart for me and I ended up throwing it away -- I would not recommend this pet door -- hope that this helps

not sure, maybe the smaller version.It might be hard to train your cat too.

I think it would work fine for a cat. All plastic and relatively easy to open.

Your kitty shouldn't have a problem entering the box. The opening is low to the floor and is quite large.

No, the front opens where the opening is for the cat to enter, it's quite easy.

Our cat is not real large-about 7 lbs. She has no trouble moving through the openings of the box.

Yes , my cats had to learn to push the door open with the top of their heads ,because it takes some force to open .

Probably. Though if it's a big cat, it would be a squeeze. Remember, some cats can fit their paws in the tiny space under doors.

Yes. I would say this is strong enough for small kittens. As I've mentioned in another post on this item, I recommend replacing the wooden door stops with latches if you really intend to KEEP something inside and not escape. I also added a wire mesh bottom to mine (comes open). I tried keeping my rabbits in it on dirt without the wire mesh, and they dug under and out the very first night.

I flips down, its not hard to open but it would take your cat to be able to crawl up in a wierd way, it will be inside the cabinet, so unless your cat stays in there youll be fine ;)

Absolutely. I can't get it open, and I tried. I bought this specific door to stop a cat that only opened the door by pulling with Its claws. When you push the pin down outside an internal one still doesn't disengage. Hope this helps it's expensive but a great door. It did take my skitterish cat about a week to get used to the noise it makes though so be ready for a little training.

Yes. I have several cats one 12lbs and a larger unweighted one who have no problems with the door.

May be yes for a kitty. The magnet which keeps the door closed can be pushed open easily. I think if a bigger cat crawls under the door it might push the door open instead of crawling through under it.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

The lid is very secure and should not be a problem. So far, my cats have had no issues and do not have a reason to break into it or knock it over. It is best to always keep it filled up halfway so there is enough weight to hold it down (in case it is somewhere that a cat might be tempted to knock it over).

One of my cats can get it open in about 30 seconds. The Catmate brand is more secure.

We have an 18 pound cat. Tight fit on the top. Of course he makes himself fit. Other two levels are larger. Doesn't move when he jumps on it so it's sturdy.

My puppy (6 lbs) was able to collapse it and tip it over to escape, so I would say your cat could do the same.

No. But make sure you clean the window and place it securely,push on it and if it doesn't pop off your good for a heavy cat.
