Update on Camp VT "musical cat doors"!

[sasvermont]

Well, thanks for the comments about the door. The big draw back is that it is there permanently, unless I find a way to create a frame.

I didn't want to spend lots of dough and thought I would have to keep it up for only a few months! I didn't want to put thousand of holes in my woodwork either. I went to "the wood pile" in the garage and found two old pieces of door trim and nailed it on my exisiting door frame, making only two holes on each side. Then I used a staple gun and went crazy up and down the sides of the screening. The top is not really fastened with anything as I didn't leave any space and the cats don't climb up that high, yet! I did nail some spare trim at the bottom, to the floor!!! So I will have a few holes to patch there too. The screening is made for pets and seems very bouncy and not fragile at all. I was hoping to re-use the screening at a later date, so I didn't cut the screening at all, just stapled it!

What I wish I had, and I might do if this cat situation doesn't change, is create a frame to hook on to the door frame, but that would require some measuring, cutting of wood etc.

I would rather have cats that got along, and no need for the darn door!
