Works like a charm!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

We purchased this to give our cats a way to enter the Catio at their leisure. It works great, and they were able to figure out the door easily. It does have an issue, and that is that the door does not always close back to the middle after each use. It is currently wintertime, and this does tend to let in more cold air than I like, but I am able to just walk by and push it back to the middle. The door swings easily, but my cats tend to pull it open with their paws rather than push through it most of the time. it was super easy to install, and I have two screened areas, so I bought a second one! Good product!

Design problem & smart cats

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2023

On top of what I wrote below: I tried such a way to prevent my cats going out at night. When I woke up, all of them were out and couldn't get in! Cats skill and curiosity can solve many problems. So, potential buyers be awareb😉🐈

Well, the product overall is good, fitting the window well and seals the air. And the three-way locking mechanism seem well-thought of. The problem is smart cats! Cats are naturally curious and they ask "hey I go in and out most of the time. Why not now (when you lock it)? Hmm, let me play with this thing. Viola, I did open it. That was easy." Yes, my cat unlocked it and went outside when I didn't want her to go out. I do not see any way to prevent this. Any suggestions?

We put this in a garage window and our cats use it with ease. We live in Texas and would recommend the product for those in warmer climates as the door doesn’t always swing back to center. But super easy to install and sturdy. We love it.

Great quality but door doesn't close on its own

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024

Size: 7-1/2” x 10-1/2” Chubby KatStyle: Window Width: 27" - 32"Verified Purchase

Very easy to install. Great structural quality. Love the 4-way locking options. Only - big deal - issue: the swing door doesn't fully close unless manually forced. It's winter time and I have an old, poorly insulated house and I was tired of opening and closing a whole door to let my cats in and out. While I am glad they can do it on their own, whenever they enter or exit, the swing door stays open about 4 or 5 inches so I'm losing a ton of heat and I have to manually close it every time I remember to go into the room and do so. This is also going to be a pretty big issue when I need air conditioning, which is also a significant cost. I haven't tried using any lubricant like WD-40, but it's relatively stiff so I don't expect that would work either.

A Great Pet Door Solution

Size: 7-1/2” x 10-1/2” Chubby KatStyle: Window Width: 27" - 32"Verified Purchase

This solved my need to add a pet door in a window without a lot of hassle or work. It is made of exceptionally nice materials which are perfectly finished and looks great in my new house.

As a plus, it was shipped in sturdy packaging which kept it in perfect condition, which is not always the case in my experience.

This product exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it if you want a quick, attractive and easy solution to adding a pet door to you house.

My cats love this

I love this because it fits my big tom cat. It was easy to install, and fits snuggly in my window. The only thing I would complain about is the bristol hairs/insulation hairs, that line the door are so stiff and not broken in yet so the door seems to always be partially open. I am sure with time, and warmer weather it probably will get broken in to where the door will close all the way. I hope.

I am so pleased with this product. It is very well made, has clear instructions on installation, matches my vinyl Simonton windows to perfection, and fits like a dream. Thank you to the reviewer who mentioned they were able to install this on the outside of their window! I tried that with this window and it fit perfectly. So, installed in this manner it actually fits more securely. I can now open my window and close my window as needed and lock it when I am not home. This window is the access point for my two cats to go onto our screened-in second floor porch. My cats weigh 15 pounds and 10 pounds and are average height. I chose to order the "chubby" model just in case. I am delighted I did because this gives them more wiggle room to get in and out.

Before this window I was up and down letting my cats in and out onto the porch. They are totally inside except for going on this porch. No other animals can get to them and they cannot get out so they love it there and so do I. I had toyed for some time with purchasing this window as I wasn't sure how they would take to it. Well, that should not have been a concern. They have a large Armarcat cat tree that has always been in front of this window. I simply installed the window, put the cat tree back in front of it which puts one of the platforms right at the correct height of the window. I put a small bench on the porch side of the window and in and out they go at will. The first day they were a little confused but they quickly found out how to get in and out. Now they come bounding in and out all day long.

At night I get them to come inside, close the inside window and lock it. Then I put down the blind and don't open it back up until morning. They were never able to go outside after bedtime before this window and seem to understand they still can't. They never go to the window if the blind is down. They are two years old and are still very interested in their surroundings and I think that was one reason they adapted so easily.

One of my favorite Amazon purchases

RE: This review is for the, '' Ideal Pet Aluminum Sash Window Pet Door, Adjustable Width 27" to 32", Chubby Kat. '' I'm attaching 2 pictures. I inserted this unit myself ( older woman ) & I am very pleased! I wish I would have purchased sooner. I was very hesitant because of some of the negative reviews. Also $128.00 seemed over-priced, but I was also very concerned that this pet window would not fit with my old wood windows. It was so-oo very simple and worked perfectly. Prior to purchasing, just simply lift your window and measure the widest inside points. I measured mine twice for certainty. I ordered the Chubby cat size because I have 3 different sized rescue cats. Two are very petite 8-9 lb and the other is almost 16lbs so I wanted all three cats to be able to comfortably use the swinging door. My cats have had NO problems with the swinging door. I honestly do NOT understand some of the negative reviews. The hardest part was left for my dear husband who had to build an attachment on the outside of our window to the swinging kitty door for my cats to go back & forth in and out of their Catio. This item is truly one of my favorite Amazon purchases. I do think it is over-priced, but what isn't today?!?!

It works, easy install, the door doesn’t return to close completely

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024

Size: 7-1/2” x 10-1/2” Chubby KatStyle: Window Width: 27" - 32"Verified Purchase

It was very easy to put in. It took my Kitty about 2 days to ‘get it’. Which is good because he never got the flap door on the litter box. The problem is the door doesn’t close all the way after he goes through it. It lets in cold air and bugs. It’s like the fuzz around the edge of the door is too long possibly? But I’m afraid to trim it and make things worse. There is a gap at the top of the door also. Anyway, my cat loves it so we’re keeping it. The pictures show how it looks after he’s gone through it and the top gap.

We had one of these cat doors years ago. Needed a new one. Just as easy to install. No air leaks. Works perfectly. So nice that a product that wasn't broken wasn't fixed.
