We would like to install this on our litter box room door, but remove the flap, so the opening is always open. Is that possible?

Yes, there are screws which hold the flap. You can just take them out to remove or replace the flap.

I really depends on the window. The cat door doesn't have anything built in. A simple solution might be a stick the right size to wedge in the window to prevent it from opening.

I don't close it too often...my cat would go crazy....but when I have used it its VERY easy. Just slide the little panel that covers the flap up and out.

The lid on mine comes off extremely easily because there are no locks/latches to attach the bottom to the top. A good, strong wind could possibly blow it off. I would look for a covered litter box that looks more like this and has the locks on the side to secure it:http://www.catsofaustralia.com/images/litterpan12.jpg

The doorway is open, but for an additional charge you can purchase the flimsy flap, it just hooks on to the top. I have one of these and also bought a better version from Amazon for less money Van Ness CP7 Enclosed Cat Pan/Litter Box, Extra Large, for $13.00. I found this is a much better box that includes a swinging door, and is a sturdier construction.

The flap makes a little noise, it is a clicking sound of the magnets. Works well though. I know that the brand name has a website with the specs so you can check the size of the actual opening. It is a great pet door our cat uses it and she is about 11 lbs.

The flap is quiet. The only noise is the click of the magnets that keep the flap in position after it is opened. I don't think it would bother me if it was in our bedroom.

It is an opening, no door. I have 2 and both of my cats use them with no problems.

I guess it would depend on if the cat was strong enough to push the flap open and get the food. I have a small-medium cat, and in my opinion, this wouldn't work for her. Sorry. Maybe you could prop the door open for the cat.

Dear Rick So sorry to tell you this, but whatever you do, it won't work. They keep changing their sizes in this company. Go to the local pet store and buy this where you can measure it, and then return if it doesn't fit. We're going to have to buy a WHOLE NEW DOOR to use the one we got on line. Get my drift? This is not the best way to buy a replacement flap. You'll probably be sorry. Good luck!

Hi patti, your door should have come with a panel that you can slide over the flap to seal it off from both inside and outside ,if you bought an ideal pet product door, they may have neglected to put it in the box, I have had some issues with ideal, hope this helps

the door flap is clear plastic. there is a removable brown plastic piece that you use only if you want to block the opening.

I did get the replacement flap and was please with it. Easy to install. It is my third or fourht order. I don't know anything about the sliding door to lock out the pets though.

I am fairly certain the placement of the cat opening is not interchangeable. However, I am currently checking with the manufacturer to confirm this information. I will contact you back as soon as more information is received.

Yes. I had to take the flap off as it would stay on my cat's back the whole time he was in the box. You can also leave the vent lid open to clean instead of popping the whole top off.

I'm sorry. I meant to respond to you sooner. Yes you can leave the door open but you may have to squeeze by unless the door opens all the way back. My cat loved this thing and it's very neat and strong. It doesn't take up as much room as the towers that set up in corners. I got the bigger one, put towels on the floor of each level, and sprinkled a little catnip on each floor to get my cat to explore it. I think it's a great invention. I hope this helps.

You can probably tuck it under the litterbox without an issue. Cutting it may be a little difficult.
