While a magnetic cat door sometimes operates on batteries or on regular house electrical current, that doesn't mean that it's always the case, which means that they can continue operating even when there's a power failure. This feature is very convenient, as the door won't let the cat be locked out during bad weather because the storm kocked out the electrical system of the neighborhood.
Understanding Magnetic Doors
This kind of door can sense a magnet that is installed on the collar of the cat, which works as some sort of "key" that will open the door to the cat. When this magnet is close to the door due to the approach of the cat, the door opens. The system thus allows the cat to come and go as it pleases while the door is locked when the cat is away.
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.
Safety
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. This means that if your cat is chased by another animal, like a feroucious dog, the door will keep other animals from following your cat inside the house. Plus it will protect against theft because a person will not be able to slip through the locked door either.
There are a few models that will give you other options, such as leaving the door open or closed at all times. Despite what some people think, these doors are very easy to install.
Generally the magnetic pet 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.
Price
They generally cost about $50. But some fancy models can cost up to $100. Luxurious or custom made models can cost even more.
If you have a cat, installing a magnetic cat door is a very good idea. Cats can then leave for long strolls whenever they want. A magnetic pet door will only open for your cat, unlike a regular pet door.
