Most people reckon that a magnetic cat door works only on batteries or electrical current, but most don’t, which means that they are unaffected by power failures or blackouts. This is a fantastic feature of these doors because the pet can be left alone and the owner will not have to worry about the cat being locked in or out of the house because of a power failure or battery failure.

Understanding Magnetic Doors

The magnetic pet door responds to a small magnet that is attached to a collar worn around the cat’s neck or to keys worn on the cat’s collar. When this magnet is close to the door due to the approach of the cat, the door opens. The cat is then free to go and come at their convenience.

The main purpose of the magnetic cat door is to let the cat into or out the house without the help of the owner, who can even go out on vacation without worrying about the cat.

Security

The magnetic cat door is safe and secure for pets to use because the door automatically locks after the cat passes through the door and only opens when activated by the magnetic collar around the cat’s neck. So, if your cat is chased by animals or by mean spirited children, once it’s inside the house, the door will protect it from pursuers. As a nice addition, thieves can’t use the door to get into your house either.

These doors normally come with the following settings which can be set to the owners liking: In and Out, In only, Out only and Locked. Magnetic cat doors aren’t really harder to install than regular cat doors.

Generally the magnetic cat door is weatherproofed which will help keep out drafty cold weather in the winter and blazing hot heat from the sun in summer. Convenient as they may be, magnetic cat doors aren’t recommended for young kitties.
