There are two main varieties of cat screen doors. There is the kind that gets installed into existing screen doors, and there is the kind of pet screen door that gets installed as a screen door just for your cat.

Both are most convenient in their own way, and either is extremely useful. A screen door generally will not bang as it shuts, and is very unlikely to injure your pet as it slips shut. Plus, a cat screen door will allow wonderful breezes through your home during the spring and summer. They’re very inexpensive to install and replace, and you may even be able to switch the regular flap on a cat door with a cat screen door, making it as easy to change with the seasons as your own screen door inserts.

There are quite a few options when it comes to purchasing a cat screen door, so check out all the models available before choosing just one.
