Such a pain to let them in and out every five minutes, now they are in charge...well, mostly.:) So far no skunks or raccoons have showed up inside, that has been our biggest concern.Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-11692186218305473012011-03-24T22:43:06.385-04:002011-03-24T22:43:06.385-04:00Leigh,

He is able to leave when he wants (due to a panel not screwed to the wall properly) but he can’t get back in. I always wondered how a cat would respond to a door. That is intriguing to find out it worked. I might just have to invest in one.The Sumerlin Dorper Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401847996199614138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-23412124790367175792011-03-24T13:00:44.791-04:002011-03-24T13:00:44.791-04:00Renee, that's why I wanted a locking door.

As Theresa said though, we're hoping this won't be a problem because no food is kept on the back porch, where that door allows access to. If I'm wrong, you'll be hearing about it!<br /><br />Theresa, that's what I thought and was hoping someone would confirm!<br /><br />Jane, it hasn't really seemed to change the traffic. With warmer days they do spend more time outdoors. If the people are out, they're in and out. Riley is quite the hunter so he's out a lot. Katy is still scared of her own shadow, but having the kitty door seems to make her feel more secure, so she's out more now too. <br /><br />Evelyn, when the weather is nice, I leave the kitchen door to the porch open. Riley and Katy come and go as they please. When it's cold, the kitchen door is closed, so they have to ask to be let out onto the porch to use their kitty door. To know when they want back in, I hung a string of bells on the outside kitchen door knob. If the kitchen door is closed and they want in, they've learned to bat the bells, so we know to go open the door for them!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-59028838183779513132011-03-24T08:42:03.460-04:002011-03-24T08:42:03.460-04:00Cat doors certainly beat constant maid service to ...Cat doors certainly beat constant maid service to cats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-64790407791748319652011-03-24T08:05:25.078-04:002011-03-24T08:05:25.078-04:00What a neat little door.
