can this be used for a dog and a cat? Could a cat push it open?

It comes with two doors to keep the insulation and if you just used one door a cat might be able to push it open.

I would think a full grown cat could open it. It would probably take some training! All of my dogs figured it out, even the really old one!

I would say a bigger sturdy cat, but if you're getting the large door size then I'm guessing you have a big cat.

I don't know if a cat would use it as I don't have cats and don't know their behaviors or habits. My dogs and dogs that regularly visit my home are 84 lbs, 78 lbs and 22 lbs and all of them use the dog door that we installed in the wall. We've not had any problems of unwanted critters entering through the door. We've been very pleased with this product.

(I have the extra large size for our Newfoundlands.) If it were a strong cat, yes. The magnets hold the two heavy, plastic flaps down. I don't have a cat, but I imagine it would be difficult but possible if that cat is determined.

Probably would depend on what size door you would get. I installed the LARGE size and our cat (on the small size) has not been able to get through it. A 15 lb cat may be able to though. The bigger the door size the more magnets so a smaller door (beagle size?) may not be a problem for a such size cat.

It is possible, but not comfortably. I did purchase this as it can be used for my cats, but I did purchase the next larger size of this as well and it is perfect for my 21 pound cat and 13 pound dog. It's well made and should last for years. It's on wheels which was important to me. Enjoy!

I don't think so. Sorry.. Not 100% sure because I gave it away when my dog would not use it. I think it's better for a cat.

it would probably not be tall enough.it's according to how tall your dog is.I use it for my 3 cats. It gives them plenty of room.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for a small dog! I have a 22 lb. cat that uses it and it is plenty big for him.

I don't own a cat but the doors open easiy. I have the large door which fits my 80 pound golden retriever. You could probably use a medium or smaller which may even be easier to open. It's a high quality door and I highly recommend it. I had Pet Safe flap doors in the past and was disappointed.

It would definitely be large enough for the dog you described. My 20 pound cat fits in with a purr pad and numerous toys. It is the most sturdy carrier I've ever had, and I've been hauling cats back-and-forth to the vet for 20 years. You will most likely lose a fingernail or two while assembling, but it's well worth it.

Yes, your cats can get out through the door. Some people use these doors for their cats. I know someone who uses the item for both their cat and dog.I love this door tremendously but your cats would use it also most likely.

I think it would still work. Perhaps you could cut the hole higher so that he would have extra space. Cats are quite flexible!! This has worked great for us! The dogs are sad they don't get cat food anymore!!

It would - I have a 20lb cat and a 24lb dog and they use it with no problems. It is a great cat flap - super happy with it :)

Only if your cat can open a door. I have had 3 cts but they could not open house doors.

Food would be blocked from falling if door is push all the way open. For a cat it may work because the door wouldn't need to be open all the way.

I do love my gate. My cat can't get through, but I'd check the specs online. If you have a mini or teacup puppy, they may be able to squeeze through....though foubtful.

It kind of depends on how rowdy they are. I put a latch between the handles to keep my dogs in. But they back off after testing it. They could possibly force there way out of the bottom but it would take quite a brave cat.

You could yes but if the dog tryes to get out it will roll over , and how well does the dog handle confinement, there would not be a lot of room , now you can put the wire French like at the open door and use it like a doghouse ? There are two ways or two doors one on each side they zip , I use mine to trave with my cats because it is easy to put into the back seat floor , then put the letterbox and some food in , this way they can not get out when we stop , it is a great product , but very hard to put back into case lol good luck

My puppy (6 lbs) was able to collapse it and tip it over to escape, so I would say your cat could do the same.
