I don't have any personal knowledge about doggie doors, so I'm no help.

1) Prolly made a VERY Happie Dawggie!

2) And maybe an installation challenge for Dad?

What Make & Model did you order?

After really researching them a lot and not finding tons of consumer input, I went with the one that seems to be best for the multi-animal population. I am still very concerned about my cats getting out. I will maybe see what goes on, and then, put collars on the cats that I am concerned about and add a little electrical current thingy near the door temporarily to train them to stay away.

Here is what I purchased:

This seems like an install job for a 'professional'. I will call the contractor I use for home stuff.

I had a very similar dog door at my dad's house, and my kitten never went through it. We mostly got it to keep out raccoons and skunks and opposums. A baby opposum climbed through our regular dog door.

It shouldn't be a problem with cats, unless you have a major escape artist, or a cat who gets REALLY attached to the dog.
