The Truth About Dog Doors and Cats
Cat owners know their pets are curious, clever, and cautious—all at once. While dogs often rush outside the moment a door opens, cats like to survey, sniff, and move on their own terms. So it’s no surprise that many cat owners hesitate when it comes to installing a dog-style pet door.
The truth is, most traditional dog doors simply weren’t built with feline behavior in mind. They’re often too big, noisy, or insecure for a cat’s comfort. That’s why the Wayzn Smart Pet Door offers something different: a smarter, safer, and more flexible way for cats to access the outdoors—without compromising home security or peace of mind.
Why Cat Owners Hesitate About Pet Doors
Cats aren’t small dogs. They’re agile, independent, and often far more selective about their environment. The most common concerns among cat owners include:
- Security risks if the flap stays open or allows wildlife in
- Drafts and heat loss from traditional cut-in doors
-
Fear of escapes, especially for indoor cats with limited boundaries
These are all valid worries until you see how Wayzn changes the equation.
Why Wayzn Smart Pet Door Works for Cats
A Smarter Kind of Access
Wayzn converts your existing sliding glass door into a secure, automated entryway. There’s no cutting, drilling, or flap to push through. The door opens smoothly and quietly, making it far less intimidating for cats who are sensitive to noise or movement.
Complete Control from Anywhere
You control when and how your cat can go outside using the Wayzn app. Set specific times, open the door remotely, or monitor your cat’s access while you’re away.
Add the Wayzn Pet Tag
The optional Wayzn Pet Tag, available to add to your order, fits cats comfortably and communicates directly with the system. When your cat approaches the door, it opens automatically—no scratching or waiting required.
Even Smarter with Motion and Alexa Integration
For tech-savvy cat parents, Wayzn integrates with motion detection cameras and Alexa routines. Set up a camera to detect your cat’s movements and automatically trigger the door. It’s a gentle, low-stress solution that lets your cat move freely and safely throughout the day.
