4.0 out of 5 stars
works good, but watch installation,
By somberwolf (North Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cat Mate Elite Selective Cat Door (Misc.)
I purchased this door after my cat and a neighbor's cat had a fight in the house while I was at work. I was worried the noise may be too much, based on research, but my 14 year old cat seemed to adapt to that fine. It does work. It makes a buzzing sound as the cat pushes through then buzzes once more as it locks right behind her. One important note: I am unable to comprehend why the internal wires going to the locking mechanism are uninsulated. There is no danger here, as the voltage is low, but when I first installed it two of the wires got pushed together. This caused the door to make a horrendous sound as the latch cycled several times each time the door was operated. I nearly sent the door back but then decided something must be wrong. I removed the door and noticed two of the three bare wires going to the locking mechanism had been accidently pressed together, probably on installation. It was an easy fix, but I bet a lot of people have done the same thing, then sent their door back - or just wished they had never bought it in the first place. If you make sure not to press the wires together on installation the door works good. I've had mine for about four months.

Great door for deaf cats!,
By
This review is from: Cat Mate Elite Selective Cat Door (Misc.)
This door is easy to install, works great, and is easy to program if you can read the english language or three foreign ones. But if you want the cats to use the door they better be deaf or not skittish. My cats have always had a kitty door but we believe that another critter has been getting in at night to mooch some food so we got this door to keep out the nightime marauders. The training period went well because the door was quiet like the old one but the minute we activated the lock they refused to use it because the lock makes a ghastly sound when it unlocks. After the first few times they don't quite elevate all the way to the celing anymore but they won't go near the door at all even unlocked.

Gets the job done,
This review is from: Cat Mate Elite Selective Cat Door (Misc.)
This door succeeds in letting my cat in and out, and keeping the raccoons out. I have witnessed the raccoons trying to get in since I installed the door, and despite their repeated attempts and lots of banging and clawing at the door, they couldn't get in.
All of the negative comments by other reviewers are true - installation instructions were very confusing, and the noise the door makes when the cat goes in and out is loud - I can hear it several rooms away. But I'd rather get used to an annoying noise, than get used to waking up to find families of raccoons in my bedroom. Also, the door is smaller than a standard cat door - my 20 lb cat has too squeeze a little to get through, but he works it out.
