Day and night the boys smash at high speed in and out of the house/kennel through their cat door. They hit the door so hard and often that last year they snapped the frame that holds the flap. I was able to mend it (several times) with super-glue, but eventually it was beyond repair. All summer long we've had an open door (hole) to the kennel, luckily we don't have many mosquitoes. The boys have loved the hole in the door to silently jump through. However, cooler weather is coming so it was time to find a new cat door.Tanjiro & Uschi each had a $10 PetSmart gift-card from several years ago, so I searched their website for a door. I found what looked like a good one with a four way locking mechanism, so we can lock the boys in the kennel when they (Uschi) get a little "loud." I also decided to go larger than our previous door.
In case you are wondering why...
Someone is extra-fluffy. Enough said.I needed to remove the door to cut a larger hole...
This was big fun for the boys,
Vladi tried to jump through the cat "door."
The boys are very helpful as usual...
U & V staring at their door being taken away.
After installing the cat door,
its time to see how it works...
If a new box, toy, or cat food enters the house,
Uschi is the first on the scene. If it is something
that is unusual or potentially scary...
Tanji ("Protector-T") is the first to inspect make sure it is O.K.
Les pushed once on the door flap to show Tanj.
After a few pats,...
... he went right through.
Vladi was already out in the kennel,
so Tanji showed him how to push the door.
My turn!
I think the door is petting me!
The spotted boys started playing with the door.
Finally Uschi arrives to see the new door.

A little sniff and a push,and Uschi headed back to nap.
Vladi keeps going in and out the door,the door is really quiet, but he manages to make noise.
