Description

Introducing the Cat Mate Elite Cat Door from Closer Pets! Introducing the Cat Mate Elite Cat Door line by Closer Pets—your ultimate solution for granting your feline friends the freedom they crave while helping to keep your home secure. Designed with advanced technology, these smart pet doors offer two innovative models tailored to your needs. The Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control uses your cat’s unique microchip or Cat Mate I.D. Discs (available separately) to control entry, ensuring that only your pet can come inside. With a four-way lock system and a timer function, you can set curfews to keep your cat indoors at night, giving you peace of mind that no unwanted visitors—like neighborhood cats—will enter your home. For pet owners who prefer added control, the Elite I.D. Disc Cat Flap with Timer Control offers the same convenience, but with the added security feature of controlling both entry and exit. This helps to prevent unwanted entry of wild animals, including raccoons. This model operates using electronic I.D. discs (2 included with this model) for up to nine cats, allowing your pets to explore freely while keeping track of their whereabouts. The handy LCD display provides easy access to essential information, and the timer function lets you decide when your cats can roam and when they should stay indoors. Both models provide your cats with the independence they desire while giving you ultimate control over their access, making them the perfect addition to any cat-friendly home. The Cat Mate Elite Cat Doors feature a flap size of 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches, making them ideal for most cats and even some smaller dogs. This versatile sizing ensures comfortable entry and exit for your pets, accommodating a wide range of breeds. Designed with both security and convenience in mind, these doors provide a perfect fit for your pet's needs. The Cat Mate Elite Cat Doors are equipped with an easy-to-read LCD screen that displays essential information at a glance, making it simple to monitor your pet's access. Tamper-proof buttons ensure that the settings remain secure, preventing accidental changes by pets or small children. This thoughtful design provides peace of mind and reliable control over your cat's comings and goings. The Cat Mate Elite I.D. Disc Cat Door uses collar-worn I.D. Discs, with two included, to control both entry and exit, ensuring your home stays secure from raccoons and other unwanted visitors. This model scans your pet's I.D. Disc every time they enter or exit, providing precise control over access. With a tunnel depth of approximately 2 inches, it fits seamlessly into various door types while offering enhanced security. The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Door controls entry by scanning your cat's unique microchip or Cat Mate I.D. Discs, ensuring only your pet can enter the home. This model does not scan before allowing exit, providing your cat with easy access outside. With a tunnel depth of approximately 4 inches, it's designed to fit a variety of door types while maintaining secure access.

    • Works perfectly, if you follow instructions
Color: White
I am thrilled by this. I loved my last Cat Mate door that worked with magnets, but my cats hated wearing the collar (I live in a place that they collected nails, debris, and the occasional UXO on the magnet), and so I had to leave it unlocked by taping down the latch. That worked for a year until another neighborhood finally cat learned to get in (but not out), wreaking havoc. So I upgraded to the one that reacts to the microchips in their necks, to avoid fighting with them about collars. It works perfectly. I had read the mixed reviews about this model and was nervous, but now am guessing it just REALLY needs to be installed exactly as instructed. I put a plank along their entry to ensure the exact 15cm specified for the height and the cats haven't given it a second thought, they don't even pause on the way in. They were initially alarmed by the little burr-click that it makes as they enter and exit, but they got used to that in two hours. (Some reviews made me fear it makes the sound throughout the night with self-checks but it does not--there is only a slight noise when they come in and out.) They have to push a little harder to open this one than the old one, but again, they learned fast, and it's good exercise. The door is slightly irritating to program for this day and age but it isn't at all hard, you just have to follow the very clear instructions to the letter. (Is there an app for that?) The best part is that the door so far recognizes their microchips instantly on approach and unlocks the door. They didn't need any training at all since they were familiar with the theory of pushing the old door. I love checking the time since they used it to know if they've been around in my absence, though too scared (of them) to try to use the available time controls to limit their movement. Also great improvement to enable a "training mode" for cats who don't take to it instantly, rather than having to tape down the latch, which was always a possible point of failure while I was on vacation. So, I recommend the company think about a much more intuitive, user friendly interface for future upgrades but am absolutely satisfied with ease of installation and performance. Thanks much! By the way, be careful when ordering to ensure you have the model that works with microchips, since the titles are very similar. Amazon was great about letting me return the wrong one. ... show more

    • VERY LOUD ratcheting sound terrifies my cats.
Color: White
My cats may be more skittish than yours. It took my cats over a month to get use to this cat door w/the lock deactivated (training mode). In training mode it's silent but also doesn't lock so it doesn't keep the strays out. The RFID chip sensor works great as does the lock mechanism, a very slight push & it unlocks for our cats. But when the lock actuates it makes a very loud ratcheting sound that sends my cats running for cover. By loud I mean not quite as loud as a Glock 9mm, but louder than my Byrna airsoft...not quite where humans need hearing protection but cats probably do. If your cat is deaf, no problem. Mine can hear bugs walking through my lawn so this thing sends them running...even if one is in a different room when the other triggers it, they both panic. I'm a Failure Analysis Engineer so I delved into it & found many problems. In short the mechanism rattles & the casing amplifies that & focuses it on the cat's head like a megaphone. If your cat is deaf this is the door for you but probably not a good idea to have a deaf cat go outdoors. I still need something like this so I may buy others but I'll be sure to quickly return any that make noises like this one. Updated: 4 months after installing this the PROG button no longer works. I confirmed this using several different functions involving that button. Looks like the buttons aren't sealed well against dust/weather. Again: design not appropriate for intended use. But this may work ok on doors between rooms inside your home...if your cat is deaf. ... show more

    • Great cat door
Color: White
This cat door saved us. It took a while before my cat figured out, I mean like 2 months while, so be patient, but once he did, we all Iive better lives. It works as expected, it definitely took us a bit to figure out the settings and schedule but it works with a tag and with the microchip my cat has. The only negative I have the locking system is loud so don't install it anywhere near your bedroom. ... show more

    • Loud, slow locking, but works as intended, is of great construction, and the cat loves it.
Color: White
Update after 9 months or so: I still love the door. Mine gets plenty of usage as its used to give my cat access to specific parts of the house while keeping my roommate's cat out (i.e. my personal room). But, I am having an issue where the batteries seem to run down in the course of a week or so (they should last between 6 months to a year, depending on usage). I am going to look into a warranty exchange and update this review again after that. This door is built well, feels sturdy, and fit my door well. I will add approx. door dimensions later. Bad first: The locking mechanism isn't the fastest in the world. Though this is part of the design, its not my ideal locking mechanism. The cat has to put there nose on the door to unlock it, assuming the lock is on. If they are exiting the house/room, then the collar tag is not used, and the door unlocks when the cat applies pressure to the door. The door provides enough wiggle room for the locks so that the door will begin to swing before the locks are withdrew. But, they still take a moment to withdraw before the door will swing open fully. When the cat is entering the house/room, the tag is required to permit access (it does this well, contrary to other reviews), but the cat must still put their nose on the door and push it for the lock to withdraw. If possible, decreasing latency times would improve the quality of this door. Additionally, the lock is of, what i would call, medium "loudness." It won't awake you from sleep, the closing door is louder, but it is annoying. It will also frighten a cat that is not used to a mechanism as such. I have yet to have my cat use the door consistently while the lock is on, but uses it constantly when the lock is off. Lastly, DON'T LET THEM PLAY WITH THE DOOR WHILE THE LOCK IS ON. When the lock is engaged, it is easy for the cat to get a tail or paw stuck by trying to pull the door the opposite way. This is user error, not product error. Another review stated that their cat almost had to have their tail amputated due to it getting caught. The door will not close to a locking position until the boney part of the tail is through, the tail (at least in the cat) is too thick to be locked on. Watch out just in case, but i have had to issues with that during times where we tested the locking feature. The positives: The flap is strong and holds up well to mild abuse. It can take my cat doing in and out constantly. The controls are easy to use and pairing is fast and simple. The tags work well when used properly. Keep them close to the cats neck so they don't jingle or get caught on the frame of the flap. The flap only requires the tag from the outside/tunnel side. See above for why you can't get the door to react from inside the house/room without touching it. The tunnel IS the sensor. Installation was easy and fit a relatively small door. Getting a new door to fit the old door frame was much more challenging than this installation. My door, where the flap is installed, is approx. 1/4in to a 1/2 in think, if not thinner, and it installed quickly and firmly. No wiggle or shaking, no rattling, it is snug. Overall, the product, when used as intended, is a good product. Making it more friendly to shy or explorative cats is my only big suggestion. A cat that uses it as intended will be fine. 👍 Update on 8/37/2020: Still no issues with appendages getting caught or stuck, and now my cat uses the door constantly. I figure I will have to replace the batteries within the next month now, but adds that extra security I was looking for. I would recommend this product. ... show more

    • Locking Options Pose a Challenge
Color: White
I bought this door because we inherited an neutered outdoor cat from neighbors who moved to a location with a lot of coyotes. He is comfortable having a refuge with a place to sleep, food, and water in the garage. Since I worked all day and travel regularly, he needed to be able to let himself in and out of the garage. He took a while to figure out the door in training mode (without any locking or noises), but then adapted to coming and going and all was well...until a racoon found the door and broke in. I then proceeded to change the settings to require a chip to enter and the cat has one. The raccoon figured out that the door doesn't require a chip to exit and used his little fingers to pull the door open from the outside (which doesn't require a chip). Since there isn't an option to require a chip to exit, I decided to program the door so the cat could enter/exit from 8am to 8pm and enter only from 8pm to 8am because the raccoons are typically active at night. That did solve the raccoon issue, but the cat completely stopped using the door. I thought he would eventually figure out that he could get out, but only during the day. I even tried using a special treat to lure him through, but he just would not open the door himself. If I held it open a little, he would come through, but would NOT push the door himself. I had to go back to training mode again and start all over with training to get him through the door, but now the raccoon is back. In the near term, I will have to go back to the program where I allow him to enter/exit during the day and in only at night, but I am not sure how I can get him to use the door. Not having the option to allow only an authorized cat (with the chip) to enter and exit at will has created a huge issue for me and I may have to find another door that does have this option. I am very frustrated because it is otherwise very handy and seems to be durable and only about 1.5 years old. I am not looking forward to spending more money and going through the install process again! ... show more

    • Unreliable and Potentially an Invitation to Raccoons
Color: White
Let's start with what really matters most. Does the cat flap work as claimed / required? To which the answer has to be a resounding NO. Details will vary but the basic function everyone needs from a cat flap is the provision of a doorway through which your cat(s) and only your cat(s) can travel. You may have several cats and want different ingress and egress policies for them. You way want to control the time(s) of day the flap is operational. You may like to know if a cat is one side or another of the doorway. But all of those requirements are of no import if the cat flap does not actually lock/unlock according to the rule(s) you have set. And that's where the Cat Mate Elite Super Selective Cat Flap fails abysmally. Unless you have set the flap to what the manufacturer terms "training mode", which leaves the flap completely unlocked, the flap's default state should be locked. As in anything and in particular any animal other than your cat(s) pushing against it will be unable to open it. Some of the time that's what this cat flap does. Some of the time it does not. When it does not, just gently pushing against the flap from either side results in the flap opening. Hello raccoon. Welcome to my home. Come wreak havoc and crap all over the place because this Cat Mate Elite Super Selective Cat Flap let you in. It's a real shame the manufacturer has done such a poor job of building a flap with RFID technology that is sensitive enough to read embedded chips (in your cat). Their less expensive Cat Mate Elite I.D. Disc Cat Flap that only works with collar mounted rfid tags works really well. (I have one and it's been doing what it should for several years). I understand that reading embedded chips is more challenging - smaller size means less power in returned transmissions which is generally handled in commercial RFID systems by using more powerful transmitters and/or more sensitive receiving antennas. More power isn't really an option for battery powered transmitters if battery life is to be acceptable. It would appear also that conservation of battery life is the main reason your cat has to push against the cat flap door before it will unlock as pushing the door activates the RF transmitter. A more sensitive antenna is, I believe, the reason behind the longer exit tunnel built into the Cat Mate Elite Super Selective Cat Flap. That exit tunnel is really disliked by my cat and, I would guess, by many other cats since the manufacturer is at pains the emphasise that the tunnel should not be cut off or trimmed. However, arcane discussions of how the RFID setup is configured has nothing to do with whether the flat operates correctly. In the case of the Cat Mate Elite Super Selective Cat Flap it simply does not. No ifs, ands or buts. It just does not do what it is supposed to. (Foot note: the flap I am reviewing was purchased from chewy.com - a great bunch of people. They replaced the first flap I purchased - probably at their expense - when I found it always let my cat out as in never locked from the inside. The replacement I am now reviewing appeared to work initially and was in use for a while. I'm now rather suspecting it never worked correctly at all but I just happened to test it at times the door was locked.) ... show more

    • Works well, but raccoons can outsmart it.
Color: White
We purchased this cat door for our colony of barn cats. The door works great -- allows are microchipped cats in and out and generally keeps other critters (skunks, possums, coyotes, foxes, mice) out of the garage. Just a warning for people who might want to use this to keep out raccoons -- if your microchipped cat is near the door (e.g., looking through the window or sleeping or walking nearby) while a raccoon is on the other side, the door unlocks. We have a very smart raccoon who figured this out. It would look through the window and wait for the click of the door unlocking and then come in. This isn't an error in the door -- the door works perfectly well as designed. It's just a raccoon is smart enough to figure out the mechanism and push the door in or pull it back to get in. Just wanted to let others know that this might not be a solution if the animals you are trying to keep out are raccoons. ... show more
