Every happy cat owner is faced with the problem of “toilet matters”. The question arises: where to put the pot for the cat? As a rule, the choice of room falls on the toilet. Next comes the following question: 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 get bored at home or freezes on the street waiting for you? You can find answers to these questions in this article.
What is a cat door?
In order not to constantly 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 may be with a hole for the passage of the animal or always remain open.
Through this device, the cat can freely move between rooms without outside help. And the owner is calm, and the cat is happy.
Types of doors for cats
Cat doors are divided according to several parameters.
By the type of material the device is made of:
- wooden;
- aluminum;
- plastic.
In size, depending on the parameters of the animal:
- small
- medium;
- big ones.
In shape:
- 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 ideally suited for interior solutions, for example, as a passage for a cat to a toilet, but will not be suitable for an entrance door.
It is worth saying that such a structure will not be able to provide noise isolation, and also will not save you from smells.
Window - the design is similar to a manhole, but unlike a manhole, it has a movable door that can open either one way or the other. Such a structure is also suitable for interior solutions, but it is absolutely not suitable for entrance doors. Through such a door, as well as through a hole, other people's pets or scammers can easily penetrate.
The door is an advanced fixture. This design, as a rule, is equipped with a magnetic lock (which responds only to the key located on the collar of the animal) and is stuffed with electronics. Thus, only your cat or cat can enter such a door. By installing such a mechanism, you can get rid of odors, keep sound insulation at the proper level and protect your home.
Which option to choose?
To date, the market offers 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 - about 12,000 rubles.
When choosing, you should always start first of all from a standing problem.
It makes no sense to put an option with a magnetic lock on the toilet door. If you are annoyed by the knock of a hinged closing door on a hinge, for example, in a bedroom, put an ordinary tunnel. You should also find out the dimensions of your animal before buying, so as not to make a mistake with the size. To do this, measure the cat or cat in length and height and add 10 cm.
