Every happy cat owner is faced with the problem of "toilet cases." The question arises: where to put the pot for the cat? As a rule, the choice of the room falls on the toilet. The next question follows: how will the cat get there if the door is closed? Or, if you are the owner of a cat and live in a private house, and the cat is used to walking on the street, how to make sure that the cat does not miss the house or does not freeze on the street waiting for you? Answers to these questions can be found in this article.
What is a cat door?
To constantly not open, close the door to the room, there are special small doors to the toilet for cats. The door for the cat is a prototype of the same design for humans. The design can be with a hole for the passage of the animal or always remain open.
Through such a device, the cat can move freely between the rooms without assistance. And the owner is calm, and the cat is happy.
Types of doors for cats
Cat's doors are divided by several parameters.
By the type of material from which the device is made:
- wooden;
- aluminum;
- plastic.
In size, depending on the parameters of the animal:
- small;
- medium;
- big ones.
According to the form:
- round;
- semicircular (in the form of an arch);
- square;
- curly.
Depending on the design:
- manhole;
- window;
- door.
Laz is the simplest design, the so-called tunnel. Such a device with a passage does not have additional doors and is ideal for interior solutions, for example, as a passage for a cat to the toilet, but not suitable for an entrance door.
It is said that such a structure will not be able to provide noise insulation, and it will not save you from smells.
Window - the design is similar to the manhole, but unlike the manhole, it has a movable door that can be opened in one or the other direction. Such a structure is also suitable for interior solutions, but absolutely not suitable for entrance doors. Through such a door, as well as through a manhole, someone else’s pets or fraudsters can easily enter.
The door is an improved adaptation. Such a design, as a rule, is supplied with a magnetic lock (which responds only to a key located on the collar of the animal) and is stuffed with electronics. Thus, only your cat or cat can enter this door. Using the installation of such a mechanism you can get rid of odors, keep noise insulation at the proper level and protect your home.
Which option to choose?
To date, the market presents a lot of options in various price categories. The simplest plastic tunnel without a door will cost about 200 rubles. A silent, programmable door with chip identification for a cat is about 12,000 rubles.
When choosing, you always need to build on the problem at hand in the first place.
It makes no sense to put a variant with a magnetic lock on the door to the toilet. If you are annoyed by the sound of a hinged closing door on a hinge, for example, in the bedroom, put a regular tunnel. You should also know before buying the dimensions of your animal, so as not to be mistaken with the size. To do this, measure the cat or cat in length and height and add 10 cm.
