How big a cat will go thru this door?

The opening is about 145mm wide by about 155mm high. It's approximately 190mm diagonally.

I have a 14 pound rag doll that fits through it. It looks tight, but he doesn't seem to have any problem

my cats are average size and fit through with no problems, big cat should have no problem either. the super selective meets and exceeds my expectations.

I have 3 large cats (from the ground to highest point of back is about 12-13 inches) that all use the door just fine. It's a little bit of a tight fit, but they don't seem overly bothered by it. My small dog, who is more barrel chested and less flexible is also able to use the door (she's about the same size as the cats), if a little less gracefully.

I agree with the others, it is a smallish opening, but when a large cat wants to eat, it is surprising what they fit through. You could also shorten the tunnel to make it easier to fit through as well. Bob

No I don't think so. It is pretty small. My cat is pretty chubby and just squeezes through the door.

My cat is 15 lbs and a big guy and my female cat is 13 lbs. Both my cats fit through this no problem. The only issue I see is how far from the bottom of the door that you install this, since the Dachshunds have short legs, I'm sure they could get through no problem but it may be awkward for them at first.

the cat door is a rectangle. That probably means diagonal measurement. The door works well.

Probably not, the spaces are probably big enough that a cat would squeeze through.

The top doorway is 7.5" wide and 16" long with the door in the fully open position. The door at the end is 8.25" wide by 12" high with the door fully open. You can get a pretty good sized cat in there. This carrier on Amazon sold for $10 cheaper than at Pet Supplies Plus in Michigan.

had a 12 pound cat that mastered the door flap.he would go through it very easily without pausing.be sure to follow instructions about the correct height.makes it easier to go through.

Probably not. Furthermore, should the cat push the door open and step inside, the door could shut, trapping the cat inside with no way out.

No. This door would not keep any type of pet in. It does not sit flush to the frame, unless you tried to velcro the entire length of the door. Even then...there would be a space at the corners. Plus, the frame is very, very flimsy...so it wouldn't take much effort for your cat to just push right through.

It should work. My cats are rather large. Both are upwards of 15 lbs, tall and round. They through the door just fine. Its a great pet door. I put it on an interior door and I did have to tape the flap up. My cats can't seem to get the idea that they have to push the flap to go through the door.

A large cat will fit onto the platforms and into the cubbies. My biggest cat is about 15 pounds, tall & lanky, and he climbs into the "house".

Pan with 4" sides, any higher and your cat may have a hard time getting through opening and into pan. The hinge takes space and I removed the inside door. My pan measures 15x18x4.

Audrey, I think your idea of moving the arch up a bit would help. I asked my husband and he said the same thing. Plus, if you leave off the brush, that opens up the door a lot. My 15-pound dog can't fit through it but cats are much better at slinking into tight spaces than dogs. My cat's about 12 pounds and is quite fast at going up and down the stairs through the cathole door. Good luck!!

I have two large cats.... as long as a cat can get it's head through, they can get through.

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

There are two sizes. We have both. The small one is about 6.5" x 6.5" and the large is about 10" x 6.5".If you have a cat bigger than 15 lbs the small one will work but make sure the "entry" level is lower than the bottom of the door on both sides.

I think it depends on the size of the cat. The latches on the doors are small and a big cat may be able to push the big door open part way. This would be excellent if you add extra, sturdier door latches.
