"Kristine Kochanski" wrote in message ... A doggy door??? Never heard of that, I presume it's like an over-sized catflap?? Must be an American thing. The electronic thing sounds best, though I've never seen one so I couldn't comment! Presume it works like the magnetic catflap. Or do what the Brits do - take your dog out 2 or 3 times a day supervised when it needs its poop! We have fenced back gardens (yards) and front gardens are usually fenced and gated but not always . ( An Englishman's home is his castle LOL) and we also let our cats out so its not a problem. Alison |

It *is* just like a big kitty door --
unfortunately, some of them are big enough for a person to crawl through, which I always thought was kind of creepy. Sherry I always figured that a person may not want to chance what KIND of dog (nice or not!) may be on the "other side"! That said, with indoor cats, dog doors with full access are obviously not a good idea. "Keyed" ones don't seem to come in the larger sizes either. There was a company that used to advertise in magazines several years ago, that had a model called "not a cat exit". I could never get them to disclose how it worked to not let cats in/out, and I wasn't about to spend the few hundre dollars they wanted for the thing in order to find out! They seemed to stop advertising it, which probably means it never worked all that well. Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

Are you mainly talking about keeping your cat from being attacked because I can't see how a fence can keep a cat from roaming off and running away (my wife will be heartbroken for months if this happens with Brittney). |
