Purrfect Portal Meow Manor® Cat Door Interior Door - No-Flap, Fits Cats Up to 20 lbs, Easy DIY Setup, No Training Needed

First of all, let me set the stage... You got a puppy during covid because...it's covid and you need something positive in the crappy year/s we've had. You also have two cats, they all get along thankfully and everything is going great! Then, puppy turns 5 months old...you're sleeping in bed and you hear the puppy come onto the bed up near your face and can hear him chewing on something. He has lots of toys so you start to drift off back to sleep. Until you smell it...that smell every cat owner knows...and you KNOW that smell doesn't belong on the bed. You jolt up to see your puppy brought some cat 'treats' into the bed and is slobbering them up all over your freshly washed duvet you finally got around to washing because adulting is hard. He stares at you, litter and treat bits all over his mouth, happy as a puppy can be that has figured out the new bin he has to dig for treats in... At this point you start hounding the internet for a interior cat door that you can shut if needed (as one of the cat litter boxes is in a guest bedroom). You search high and low until you come across this god send of a product. Your cats look at you hopefully as they see what you're looking at, flashbacks of the puppy staring them down in the litter box, waiting for the fresh treat to be covered and left for him to eat. Your puppy, being a baby, has no idea his treat box is about to be out of his reach soon. This door locks, rocks, and will keep the puppy away from a room you want the cats to have access to, but not the puppy. Purchase it, do yourself a favor and do it. Installation is super easy, Place tape then draw your template so you don't scratch your door while cutting. It's super easy and I installed two of these doors in 45min. Save yourself from waking up to cat 'treats' in your bed, and the sanity of wondering if your puppy is in the litterbox digging around. This is a 10/10 door and fit the exact bill of what we needed and i'm waiting for it to come back in stock so i can buy more for the other doors in our house. Do yourself a favor and just buy it when it comes back in stock. It's super easy and saves you so much hassle and time. ****EDIT 4/5/2022**** We bought 3 more of these and these have saved our doors from constant cat scratching because the door is closed. Has kept the, now adult doggo out of the litter box area as well. We closed the doors a few times and while the cats didn't' like it, it did keep them out of where they shouldn't be. 1,000/10 buy this, install is easy and plus it's cute as heck! would be nice if they came in other colors but spray paint could easily remedy it.

My kitties are coming in a few months. For them, I was looking for an interior cat door or pass-through between my kitchen and laundry porch, where I'll be keeping my litter box. The smallish laundry porch has a second door leading to my driveway. I wanted to be able to stop access to the laundry porch on those occasions I am bringing in groceries or something from the garage, and don't want the kitties (they'll be two indoor-only Bengals) to be able to get out. I didn't like the idea of a door with a locking flap because should they believe it to be open as usual, and find I'd locked it, they'd bang their heads on it, or even not be sure about trusting it! I next then decided, heck, I'll just purchase a pass-through -- basically a hole in the door with a kitty template. That way, if I needed the pass-through blocked, I could just put a large brick or object in front of the pass-through and they'd visually SEE they couldn't get through. The problem with that is the hassle of moving the brick or large object. I just saw this on a video from the folks with Kona the Bengal. The woman was rightfully giddy about how unique and different this was, and I liked its looks and functionality immediately. PLUS, the fact that it DOESN"T have an always-present flap was perfect for my needs. Now I can keep it always open, but on those rare occasions I'll need it closed for a few minutes, I'll just shut its little door. The extra bonus for ME, is that now -- when I might go on vacation and use a cat sitter service -- the sitter can come INTO the house from the driveway with Meow Mansion closed (while gone, I'd move the litter box into the kitchen). That way, she can come in and out with impunity and not worry about the cats squirting out --- she can have that safe buffer of closing the back door, THEN opening the interior door into the kitchen. I know that all sounds confusing, but just think of three areas (1) outside driveway with back door into laundry porch; (2) small laundry porch room with interior door into the kitchen; and (3) kitchen. I just got the kitty door today and even though I have a ton of projects to do, really couldn't wait to install it. Now, I CAN wrench a motorcycle and can do extremely minor repairs, but these are things ANYBODY can do if they read how to do it. The installation of the Meow Mansion was even easier and I absolutely had to take a crack at it. A month or two back (in anticipation of cutting out a whole in ONE of my doors), I purchased an inexpensive jigsaw. I pulled the interior door off the hinges (one of the two pins was stuck but a hammer and screwdriver wrenched it loose). The 1 1/4" thick door was not light but it wasn't difficult to bring it to my backyard where I placed it on my covered hot tub (nice, large flat surface); but really you can probably figure out some place in your home to do it; even on a simple table if there's room). I brought out everything I figured I'd need: the paper template, scissors, tape (to tape the template to the door), a pencil, my jigsaw, a Philips screwdriver, an electric screwdriver, (then, a) drill, screwdriver bits for all, an extension cord, the Meow Mansion and screws for it, a Yeti cup of ice water and my glasses (it was a nice sunny day, mid-60s in the late afternoon). One of my four photos shows most everything I mention just a minute or so before I started. Now, I'd uh, NEVER operated a jigsaw before, but watched a few YouTube videos, and opened the jigsaw package for the first time ever. I saw they gave me about 6 blades. I just made an educated guess which one to use, and even had to find a video of the model to see how to insert the blade. You might need two people to manhandle the door, but I did it myself -- not too heavy, just awkward. Having seen two separate installation videos, I just went for it. Cutting the paper template was easy. I tried to cut/stay in the middle of the outer black line. I then measured the width of the door and made a pencil mark at the center. I laid the template on it and taped it lightly in place away from tracing spots. I then traced with a pencil by pressing down the template and voila! I had a light but very visible line on my door. I plugged in the jigsaw and as best I could, followed the horseshoe-like line. Happily, the jigsaw had a laser light that helped; but I still had to blow away sawdust to see. In MY case -- perhaps because I was using the wrong blade or this was my first time using a jigsaw -- instead of taking about 30 seconds to cut out the hole, it was slow going and took me, I dunno, about 4 minutes. Even though a couple of times I strayed INSIDE my pencil line, I went back and cut those parts wider (that took maybe 20 seconds). It appears that the actual Meow Mansion plastic templates give you plenty of leeway, so don't get too caught up in being 100% perfect -- just do a reasonably good job. AFTER the hole was done, since I had an electric screwdriver I figured I was home free to emplace the 6 (3 on each side) screws onto the MM. But it was not to be. The electric screwdriver was meant for light in-home screws and NOT to start and finish screwing a wood screw into "virgin" wood. It just spun around. Well, I reasoned, I had a nice standard-sized DRILL. But I dunno, I'm no everyday driller either, and it spun around a bit, probably because I didn't think I needed to push down with force. Maybe I shouldn't have been that timid. [Editing here 2 years later it was really because I didn't drill a small pilot hole first.] Ultimately I ended up using a standard Philips screwdriver. I found you had to PUSH hard while screwing, and then they went in fine and I was able to cinch them down. So much for my hopes of just going "Wrrrrrrr" with an electric something-or-other and being done with each screw. Still, I just took my time -- maybe 2 minutes per screw. The only other hassle was completely turning the door OVER for the other side; slightly tricky, but not that difficult. After that, the instructions to emplace the little door handle holder or keeper was easy; even ingenious. You merely placed the keeper on the door handle, remove the sticky tape atop the keeper, then open the door on its hinges against the "wall," pressing the sticky part of the keeper onto the "wall." Then you carefully detached the door knob from the keeper. The keeper was then perfectly in place, and after you use the provided screw that comes with it (again, more cinching down), it is permanently in place. You're DONE! I know this sounded like a lot. But honestly, it took me perhaps 45 minutes from gathering all the tools, removing the door to the outside, cutting the template, the door; REALIZING the electric screwdriver wouldn't work and obtaining my drill and hooking THAT up; failing with that, THEN screwing the MM down manually; and finally placing it back on its hinges and taking photos. The bottom line is, this thing is cute as a button, a good size for just about any cat I'd think; can act as a kitty pass-through OR a blocking mechanism to another room, and was not difficult for someone who at least knows about a few basic home tools (hammer, pliers, some wrenches, that type of thing). Once it's finished there is a lot of joy in knowing you've made life easier and safer for you and your warm, furry friends -- oh, and your kitties too! haha I highly recommend this wonderful cat door!!

Highly recommend! Needed something like this since the little one in the house started walking and going into room. Always had door cracked to let cats go through before. This has become a lifesaver in that regard since I need my room door closed now. At first sight, the plastic material feels cheap. But don't let it fool you, the price is great and it gets the job done! And does hold up well. It's not meant to withstand a car wreck, so try not to be overly critical. Installation is pretty straight forward and very easy to understand. However, if you do not have the right tools or space, then it can be challenging. Power Saw highly recommended in order to cut the hole in the door. When installed I noticed part of the cat door had a bit of an under lip that dropped about 2mm under the door at the frame. When transporting and reinstalling door, remember to just put the door down gently so as not to potentially crack the cat door since it will stick out about 2mm lower than the big door, so when resting the whole assembly upright, the main door will be resting all its weight on the cat door until it's back on the hinges. Still it holds up really well though. The cats were curious at the new contraption, but I threw a toy through the hole and they ran through it like it had always been there. It's perfect. I'm getting more. Wishlist: the door has windows. Sometimes I think about creating miniature blinds for the windows of the door to feel like I have more privacy. There is also a small gap between the door and frame of the cat assembly, so when it is closed, sound is not as drowned out, I may want to glue a rubber seal around the frame for a slightly more sound tight fit. The lock is simple, no added installation required, knob turns and locks in place. It's more of an internal latch, so anyone could unlocking without a tool from either side of the door. But the cats cannot... be aware of Velociraptors though, they have figured out how to open doors. 5 stars! Highly recommend. Only 3 stars for easy assembly. While it is easy, there is the part of removing and reinstalling your entire door as well as need for cutting tools for the item to fit. (Which for some could be an excess of effort) That aside, installing the piece Onto the door is very easy.

Very simple to install. Paper template provided is true to size. Best tool for the job was a jigsaw along a traced line. The door itself functions great. Keeps the dogs out, locks easily, and cats love it. It’s cheaper than a doggie door, can’t go wrong.

My husband and I wish we knew this cat door existed a long time ago. We put an addition onto our home whereas our master bedroom is on the first floor, located on the opposite end of our home. As you enter our bedroom there is a set of French doors leading to our backyard. If we need to shut our door for privacy, there was always the problem of having to keep the door open slightly or "answering the door" when our cat Mango needed to come in. We also happen to have Mango's litter box and feeder in our master bathroom (yup, not planned and we didn't even have any pets until after the addition was built). We don't mind "sharing" our bathroom with Mango, and our bed lol as we love him so much. He usually doesn't really need to get to his feeder or litter box when we need to shut the bedroom door, but as soon as the door is shut he scratches to come in and checks out what's going on, then he wants to leave again and come back in etc.. so getting this cat door has been a game changer!! It is actually a beautiful and functional cat door that was easy to install. It has not only solved our issues with wanting to keep the door shut without worrying about our cat's access needs, but he finds the door to be a fun "stakeout" area to look out for "potential predators" of which there are none🤦😺. The price is also very fair for the quality you get. One more asset is the ability to lock the cat door when needed....as when we have to keep the French doors open to carry something outside etc.

The Purrfect Portal Meow Manor® has officially become the favorite feature in our house. We have two cats, and they both immediately decided this was their very own VIP entrance. Watching them casually stroll through their little portal like they’re entering a private clubhouse has been hilarious. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it was to install. The setup was simple, straightforward, and didn’t turn into a complicated DIY project. Within no time, our cats had their own little doorway to explore. The best part is that we can finally sleep through the night! Before installing this, our cats had us trained to be their personal doormen. They would wake us up to open the bedroom door, then a little while later wake us up again because they wanted back out. This happened over and over all night long. Now they can come and go as they please without interrupting our sleep. The no-flap design is perfect because there’s no annoying noise or extra parts for them to figure out. Both cats caught on right away and use it like they’ve had it forever. It’s cute, practical, and has made our nights much more peaceful. A must-have for any cat household where the humans are tired of midnight door service!

I bought the Meow Manor to create a safe zone for our cat's food and litter box, away from our overly curious dog. I’m happy to say it works perfectly for that. The design is genuinely adorable and looks much nicer than a basic cat flap. Our 15-pound cat had no hesitation and used it immediately without any training needed. Best of all, it has successfully kept our dog out of the cat's area. The installation was fairly simple, mostly thanks to the helpful paper template that comes in the box. The whole project took under 30 minutes. My only minor hang-up was when I cut the opening in our hollow core door. The inside edges were a little splintered and rough, so I had to take a few extra minutes to clean that up before the frame would fit smoothly. It wasn't a major problem, but something to be aware of. The little locking door is a great feature that I use more than I expected, especially when vacuuming. Overall, this is a fantastic product that solves a common pet-owner problem in a charming way.

So very quick and easy to install. And all the cats love it.

パタパタするのは出入りしなかったので、こちらの商品にしました。 なんとも可愛い！ 6キロの猫もスムーズに出入り出来ます。 取り付けは大工さんにお願いして6000円かかりましたが、満足です！

Mes chats l ont validés directement ! Et puis très simple à installer !!!

Ordered two from Amazon Australia knowing this was a USA product but thrilled when it arrived in less than two weeks. Couldn’t be more pleased with the cat doors. Brilliantly designed and constructed, right down to the door open holder having a self adhesive backing to help you position it before screwing to the door. We have 5 cats of varying sizes and only our enormous Tom has so far refused to use it. Suitable for all sizes up to “I’m really a large raccoon” cat. Installation is very easy and, beyond needing a jigsaw and a screwdriver, the hardest part is taking your doors off their hinges to make it easier to work on them. Our doors are typical “budget” hollow panel doors with a wooden frame and cardboard packing and the design of the cat doors works well even with non-solid doors as the bottom screws on each side go into the wooden frame. Where (and if) the top screw is simply going through a thin moulded panel just tighten slowly and gently. There’s no need to torque it up with any of the fixings. The recessed screw holes; the soft rubber hole plugs; the open door holder …. everything is just so well thought of. It might only be a plastic cat door but it’s such a pleasure to buy and receive something that is so well designed and works without customisation. Well done to Lisa and her team. I hesitate to add feedback in case it’s taken as criticism (because it isn’t) but the cut-out template - another great idea and much better than trying to draw around the inside of the door - creates a hole that’s very generous so be careful not to cut outside your marker line or you’ll have no door left to screw into. You can cut slightly inside the marker line and still have ample room. The second “warning” is that the new door frame fits with a flange that sits butted against the bottom of the door so it is not entirely flush with you door’s bottom edge. So, you’ll need to be sure that your door has a 2-3mm gap between it and your flooring but most do anyway unless you’ve later added carpet or tiles that fill that gap. I can’t be more pleased with our doors. If you like the look of them and are considering buying, don’t hesitate!

Un bel prodotto, di buona qualità. Lo vedo sicuro per le mie gatte

It’s perfect! You turn the handle and it locks the door. It’s really well made and easy to install! Also it’s super cute
