As you may or my not know, we added a new addition to our home a few weeks ago. With the additional cat, we needed to be able to add a second litter box and feeding area in our lower level. With 3 dogs, it just wasn’t possible to have those spaces out in the open. We decided we needed to get a cat door that will allow the cats to come and go as they please but allow us to keep a door closed.
We were sent a CATHOLE Cat Door to review and I couldn’t be happier with its design and function. We have paneled doors and we were never able to use traditional cat doors because of their size but this is not a problem with the CATHOLE. My dad came down and used the easy template to cut out the space in the door for the CATHOLE. Mike put the CATHOLE on the door and added the built-in brush. It was then just a matter of putting the door back up and it was ready for use!
You can paint the CATHOLE but I chose to leave it the natural color because it matches my cabinets. It doesn’t look unfinished at all. The choice is completely yours though and you can paint or stain the CATHOLE to match whatever you like. I love that the brush is built into the CATHOLE. Every time my cat goes through the door, a little bit of that hair that is normally all over my house is caught and held onto. The cats have had absolutely no problem adjusting to the CATHOLE, probably because it doesn’t have a door and is truly just a little hole. It is hardly noticeable in our home and looks great on the door. The CATHOLE is plenty big for even our largest cat. It is recommended that cats up to 20 pounds can fit through the CATHOLE Cat Door, but if you have a larger cat, you can purchase a “fat cat” brush directly from the supplier.
We are so pleased with the CATHOLE and I am considering buying another for upstairs. I highly recommend this product if you have a closet, small room, or any other area you want to allow access to your cat without the bulk of a traditional cat door. You can also get a name tag for your CATHOLE to give your kitty some recognition that it is their special place.
The CATHOLE is very affordable at only $34.95 plus shipping and handling for one. The name tag I mentioned is free with your purchase. Be sure to visit CATHOLE Cat Door to see other pics of the CATHOLE in use and learn how you can order.

I like it better than the ones we have, but it wouldn’t for us. One of our cats is 20 lbs, and would never fit thru that cathole LOL

I don’t have a cat, but if I did, I’d sure want the Cathole.
