We recently moved from the city to the suburbs where there are bobcats and other predators out at night. My cat used to roam 24/7 but now I am trying to lock the cat door. It’s a mechanical lock and “in-only” feature allows my smart cat to use her claws to pull the door towards her then stick her head under and escape. I can lock it completely with success, but I really wanted an “in-only” feature that was foolproof as I often leave in the mid-afternoon for an overnight shift when my cats are still outside. I’ve seen some microchip doors, but then I’ve also seen some saying cats can outsmart these too.
