PetSafe Big Cat Door Interior and Exterior

Overview

This is PetSafe's Big Cat Door, an 11 by 12 inch flap built for cats and small dogs, designed to install through a wall or door between 2 and 3.25 inches thick. It fits multi-pet homes that need a door small dogs can also use alongside cats.

The push and turn 4-way lock lets an owner set the flap to in-only, out-only, both directions, or fully locked, useful for keeping a pet in overnight or blocking access to a room. A soft close mechanism cushions the flap so it doesn't slam, which matters in a doorway pets pass through repeatedly.

• 11 x 12 inch opening
• 2 to 3.25 inch wall thickness range
• 25 pound maximum pet weight
• Push-and-turn 4-way locking

Who it's for

Multi-pet households where cats and smaller dogs under 25 pounds need to share one opening, and where the wall or door is within the 2 to 3.25 inch thickness range. Not a fit for walls thicker than 3.25 inches or dogs over the weight limit.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 4-way lock is the functional core: pets pass in only, out only, both ways, or the flap locks shut entirely, so one door can be adjusted for nighttime or a vet visit without swapping hardware. The plastic frame and flap keep the unit lightweight for wall or door mounting.
