My cat does not like the hard plastic door..Is there a soft flap replacement for this door. Or do I have to replace the whole thing???

The door is hard and I have not seen a soft door available. However the door is hinged such that it opens quite easily with very little effort so most cats don't have a problem with it. There are other pet doors on the market elsewhere with soft doors that you can look for, but a soft door doesn't close as securely so drafts may be a problem. Good Luck

Maybe a quick fix could be to remove the plastic flap and on one side of the door affix a price of thick fabric.

Ours had a slide where the top of the flap is hidden, its spring loaded n a pain to get up but once up u see a screw which will allow u to pull out the old flap n shove the new one n just tighten down n let the slide down! Atleast thats how ours works!

The flap is pretty heavy and held in place magnetically. My cat passed away before we purchased the door, but I couldn't imagine her being able to push through it.

There are the clear plastic flaps on the doors. I don't think they are removal outside of cutting them off, but I have a cat that doesn't like them, so I clothes pinned one of the flaps to the roof.

That's the size of the door,not the overall size.It's not a flap,it's a door,much better.This is the largest durable and reliable Cat Door I know of.My fiance has one that two cats go in and out frequently and it's over 10 years old-zero problems.Same company ,same materials,same quality as the one I recently bought.

Honestly I have mine installed indoors and ended up removing the flap because my cat wouldn't warm up to pushing it open.. but in the time that i did have it fully assembled I felt that the magnet was very strong.. in fact that was probably the reason my cat thought it was too much trouble to push open. You'd have to experience some major hurricane force winds for that thing to pop open.

The unit is one piece, and I do not know if you can replace it. The flap that comes with the unit is lightweight, is fur lined around it and also has a lock if you want to keep it closed. My cats do not seem to have an issue with the flap. I am not sure what the Elite flap is. I love the unit and so do my cats. Hope this helps a little.

The flap is smoke colored. The FLAP measurement for model #259 is 7" X 7 1/4" The collar magnet for dogs is bigger and heavier than the cat collar magnet, your door comes with 2 collar magnets. You can order the cat magnets separately if you need lighter and smaller ones for your 7lb dogs. The purchased pet door needs to be mounted inside of a 1" x 4" wood frame that you will build and install in the exterior wall of your home. This size will work best for future extra large cats or small dogs. Hope this helps......I have installed 5 of these doors for cats.........they love them!!!!! The flap is smoke colored.

Just check the measurement of the replacement flap and make sure it fits the width, it'll probably be bit smaller but not much. The length can be cut to fit. I found that the replacement doors offered at Petsmart, where I bought the original door do not fit, they are too narrow. The Pet safe flap was the correct width, length was a bit long but easily trimmed to fit. Hope this helps.

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

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.

You can order the replacement flap only by contacting dog mate. Don't know if Amazon carries them.

A cat should be able to open it, but be aware that the flap is not one of the flexible rubber ones, it is hard, jointed plastic.

No flap, it is exactly has shown. Very inconvenient for pet, forces the cat to squat low & curve its body to enter. I use it without the lid. I purchased it because of the large size container.

My opinion is if you move the archway up it will show more of the bottom of the door. We have a 11 pound cat that goes through the hole with little effort! Just remove the brush and your cat will fit just fine!
