Cats may come across as creatures of leisure and lazing around, but that is not always the case. As a cat parent, you know your kitty\u2019s urges to pawn in\/out for fresh air, mental stimulation, and some adventure.<\/p>\n

You no longer need to leave the comfy depths of your couch every time your kitty sulks and meows. Not to mention the nuisance caused when you open the door to let the cat in, and they just sit there\u00a0refusing to move<\/a>. You can forget about such hassles with the right cat door.<\/p>\n

In a sea of options, this buying guide will help you install the right door for your purring kitty.<\/p>\n

Decide the Door\u2019s Location<\/h2>\n

A cat door is often a permanent addition to the home. This means you must choose the location carefully, as it may lead to some issues down the road. For instance \u2013 if your cat is already using a window for access, they may be reluctant to adjust to a door located far away from their routine outlet.<\/p>\n

In such a case, choose a location that is nearest to the window they currently use for access. Also, the door area should be free from obstacles like pipes, electric wires, wall studs, etc. Finally, ensure the door is easily accessible for your cat, preferably located near the main living area.<\/p>\n

Choose a Suitable Door Type and Size<\/h2>\n

If you have browsed through your cat door options already, you know that there are plenty of fish in the sea. You can customize the door to be interior\/exterior, sliding, flapped, and more. The door type must depend upon the area\u2019s weather conditions.<\/p>\n

For example \u2013 a flapped door may not provide proper insulation for an area that receives heavy rainfall. When it comes to the size, measure your cat properly before buying. An ideal door is not too large or too small. With some care and patience, the following steps will help you install the right cat door \u2013<\/p>\n
