Start by measuring the widest part of your cat and the distance from their belly to the top of their shoulders. Pick a door with a flap that’s a few centimetres wider and taller to give them plenty of room to move comfortably. If you have a kitten, think about their adult size so you don’t have to upgrade later.
Some cats figure it out right away, while others need a little help. Prop the flap open at first so they can see the way through. Use treats or toys to encourage them to walk in and out. Be patient and calm, as most cats get the hang of it in a few days once they know it’s safe.
A cat door can be perfectly safe for an indoor cat as long as you’ve planned your outdoor space. If your backyard or courtyard is fully fenced and secure, a cat door lets your cat enjoy fresh air and explore safely. For extra peace of mind, many owners set up an enclosed cat run or catio, which gives your cat outdoor time without any risk of escaping, getting lost or encountering other animals. Always make sure your cat is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations before allowing unsupervised outdoor access.
