Great Pet Window,

This review is from: Ideal Pet Products Sash Chubby Kat Medium Pet Door, 27 to 32-Inch (Misc.)
Installation was super easy. We have six cats, and we wanted to give them access to the outdoor patio. It took them 2 to 3 days to feel comfortable with the unit, but once we knew all 6 cats understood the process, we moved their litter boxes to the patio. Now, the cats have an outdoor place to play, and our house is free of litter box odors. The unit has a magnetic latch that keeps the window from flapping open, and even my most timid cat doesn't have a problem pushing it open with her head. We bought the "chubby cat flap" because one of our cats is 22+ lbs. Even he doesn't have a problem getting in and out of the window. The only thing I might suggest to anyone looking to buy one of these units is also buying the extension outdoor landing. We didn't buy one because our window is close to the ground, but even then the cats really didn't like the vertical drop, so we have added a small step outside of the window. If you have a tall window, your cat will really appreciate the added ledge on the outside.

This review is from: Ideal Pet Products Sash Chubby Kat Medium Pet Door, 27 to 32-Inch (Misc.)
Our two indoor/outdoor cats use this door exclusively to leave and enter our house through a front window. It was quick to install (ten minutes including the locking mechanism). It is well designed and keeps the cold out and the warmth in. You can control your cats entry and exits so on days when our cats had a vet appointment I set the door to enter only and didn't have to scour the neighborhood for them.
I would recommend this to others looking for a convenient method of allowing cats to come and go as they please.

it has its plusses and minuses,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Pros: Easy to install right out of the box, easily adustable to fir many window widths. Looks good in the window. Cats use it. Even my twenty pound cat can get in and out with ease. He would never fit through a smaller door.
Cons: very very drafty, lets in quite a chill breeze. Flap tends to stay open (does not lock into place properly once the cat is through, 9 times out of ten). The flap has a bristly fringe around the edge that does little to keep out the breeze. A rubber edging would have been better. If it's the least bit windy, the flap blows right open, and stays that way. The magnetic closure is pretty pitiful. Cold air also seeps in between the sash window and insert, despite the inclusion of weather stripping with the kit, and along the edges of the windows in the actual insert. The insert is metal, so conducts cold air right into the house. Advise: If you can afford it, buy the more expensive, insulated inserts that are rated for "extreme weather". They are about $300 but I bet they are less drafty. What we did with our window is place weatherizing plastic film over the whole thing (the kind you place on drafty windows and then blow-dry to shrink it into place), which helps a lot with the cold air leaks around the window and insert, and window panels in the insert. There is no solution for the drafty flap that won't close, though, that we have found. Would probably have been cheaper and just as effective to just make an insert out of plywood and insert a regular $15 cat flap in it, but this was quick and looks good. Overall, I think it is a $65 product, not a $125 product.
