Will it let the dog out and keep the cat in?

Hello! The Endura Flap that is used in the Thermo Panel 3e does have relatively strong magnets all around the border of the flap, so some cats refuse to use the pet door because of the force required to push through the flap. However we have also heard of cats that have no problem using the Endura Flap, so in the end it really just depends on the cat! There are no electronics in the Endura Flap to control who comes and goes, so it will ultimately be their choice whether they wish to use the flap or not. I hope this helped answer your question!

Yes, it will. I have two dogs and two cats. The dogs go in and out, but the cats stay indoors. I think if I wanted to train the cats to go out, I could by putting tape over the magnets so there would be less resistance. But its fine with me that the cats stay in.

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

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.

Google something called Latch N Vent, it is EXACTLY what we needed to let our cat into the laundry room to use the box, but keep the larger dog out...

I don't think so. Sorry.. Not 100% sure because I gave it away when my dog would not use it. I think it's better for a cat.

It comes with two doors to keep the insulation and if you just used one door a cat might be able to push it open.

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.

I suppose so unless they are extremely aggressive. It is made of what seems to be a strong fabric. I expect if you locked a cat in it the cat would eventually rip a hole in it.

Yes if you put the cat out of the bedroom and close the door. In all seriousness, it might help, but I don't have any animals so I really don't know. Maybe if you buy two quilted pillow protectors.

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.

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

It can be installed into a hollow door. You will need to fill the gap with a 2x4 inside the door though. It comes with a cover to stop the cat/dog from using the door.

I don't have cats, but our daughter has a small dog (10 lbs) and she is able to go through the door just fine. It just has a magnetic strip attached to the rubber/plastic door.

I bought the house to be a cat shelter in the wintertime so I'm sorry not to be any help on this question. I didn't get it for a dog. Good luck--I'm sure that you'll hear from the dog owners.

The mechanics of the door make for very smooth opening and closing--in fact, the design is patented. But it's also a little heavier than the conventional pet door. I think a cat could push through without much difficulty, though I haven't actually seen one doing that (we're an all-dog household). You might want to contact the manufacturers and see what kind of feedback they've gotten from the cat people out there.

yes it will keep the dogs contained, as for the measurements, look at what it says on the order and measure your doorway.

A small dog would fit on it. Just make sure the cord is covered or that the dog or cat would not chew on the electric cord.

I don't think so. My cat takes up most of the bed. It would be pretty tight with a cat and a dog in 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.
