Question
Hi I have a 4 month old dog that uses a doggy door to go potty.  My two cats have figured out a way to get through that doggy door.  Is there a way to stop them from getting out?  Can i train them, if so how?

Answer
Hi Gian!

Yes cats are very smart indeed!  I don't see any way to keep them in as long as that door is available.  The only thing you can do is put them in an area that has no access to the door.  I wish I could help, but I don't see any way of training them not to use that door.  

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
