Original CatHole Classic Interior Cat Door - The Classic Model for Cat Access

Amber PAmber P: This is the perfect little cat door! It came with clear and easy instructions and is super easy as long as you have the right tools! It lets me keep my basement door closed while still giving the cat access to her litter box (and also a place for her to seek cover when the dog is chasing her)! It also looks great and not tacky like some other ones i’ve seen.

Dan: Great door and fairly easy to install, you will need to remove your door to install and use a jaw, easiest probably being a jigsaw. Cats use it with ease. Great product

Cost us a new door though because my fiance initially cut the hole in the top of the door....

Phil BuckleyPhil Buckley: The Cat Door is just what we were looking for when moving to a condo from a larger house. The design is well-thought-out and instructions are clear and thorough. We opted not to install the grooming brushes because we wanted the extra room for our cats to enter and exit our closet. It would have been helpful to include a substitute strip of white plastic. Our solution was to use white duct tape that looks great. This is a 5-star product that is both functional and aesthetically attractive.

K. Salinger, Holistic Nurse Practitioner: Our new house is a remodeled mid-century, so it has the long hallway with all the bedrooms off of it, sort of like a bedroom wing. The entry to this hallway has a door, which we actually like, as I can shut and lock it at night so that I feel extra safe (Yes, it's a solid core door). However, the cat's can't get out to the rest of the house or to the area where their catbox is when I do this, so we decided to put this into the door so they can go in and out. So here's my pro's and cons:

Pro's:
**Was easy to install
Well, we had our handy guy do it because we're not very handy, so that makes it super easy for us, but it was also easy for him he says.

**Cats "get it" right away
As it's just a hole and no flap. We've had a few cats in the past that were not-so-bright on figuring out a flap, or they were scared of it. This eliminates that.

**Can paint it to blend in
We painted ours the same color as the door (it comes as raw, pale wood color and white plastic bristles). Can't do that as easily with the plastic framed kitty doors, plus some of those have big logos on the flap (bleech! I hate logos and advertising on stuff in my house and on...

MrKingMrKing: This is a nice simple door for a cat or small dog. I needed something to allow my cat to go downstairs to use her litterbox and not leave the basement door open. I purchased two of these one for the door leading to my basement and another for the door to the unfinished portion of my basement where the litterbox is. Installation was pretty simple. They provide a template for the cutout and I just used a Skil saw to cut it out. Then you fasten the three screws to clamp it on the door. They provide little wood inserts to cover the screw holes. One of the inserts kept falling out so a just secured it in with a little wood glue.

I opted not to use the included brushes as my cat is long haired and the brushes would be covered in hair in no time. Without the brushes installed the screws and cut out portion of the door are uncovered but you can't really see it so no big deal. I kind of wish they included a cover without the brush for those who choose not to install.

The only issue I have is with my downstairs door panels there are small gaps between the cat door and recessed panel. It is only really noticeable when standing right up to it. I would not be happy if this was...

wellsonwellson: I could not use the CAT DOOR in a door because to place the litter pans where I wanted them (storage closet under the stairs), I would have had to remove the door to my kitchen (closet door & kitchen door bump into each other). So, after reading every single question & review, I completely ignored the warnings and installed them in the wall (I was inspired by a couple photos). Didn't use the screws (Home Depot sold me some glue) and the brushes don't fit b/c of non-standard widths but I now have 3 size huge litter pans in the enclosed area under my stairs & no more kitty litter all over my laundry room. I painted the arches before installation and used some leftover (free) molding from HD to make a landing for the hole through the thicker wall (admittedly, it needs some "pretty-ing up"). All four cats adapted immediately (btw, I have 2 holes because one cat is a schmuck). The cutting template and the wood arches were well worth the price.

I also added OxyLED Motion Sensitive lights (rechargeable version) to the under-stairs area so both the cats & I could see the litter (me to clean).
