We just installed a pet door in our sliding glass door's screen door and
are trying to get our cats to use it with no success. If we hold it open
for them we can get 1 of them to walk through, but the other 3 are
either scared or confused by it. Can anyone give us any suggestions on
how to train these guys to use it?
Thanks,
Snyde
Simple. When a cat wants out, pick him up and push him through the cat
door. When they want back in, go out another door, and then pick them up
and thrust them through the cat door the other way.....It won't take them
long before they learn to do it themselves.......

you hope or they could expect you to do that all the time

just leave a treat on the otherside of the door?

Oh yeah....They will never actually LIKE using the cat door.....It's always
preferable to have a human doorman at your disposal......:^)
