In some cases the magnetic cat door operates on batteries or electricity, but most do not which means they are not subject to battery or electrical failure and are ever-lasting. This is a great feature of these doors because the pet can be left alone and the owner will not have to worry about the cat being locked in or out of the house because of a power failure or battery failure.

This kind of door can sense a magnet that is installed on the collar of the
cat, which works as some sort of "key" that will open the door to the cat. When
the cat comes next to the door, the detection of the magnet makes the system
open the door. In this way, the cat can come and go as it pleases and the door
will always be locked when not in use.
This feature is a big plus for pet owners who are not home during the day or who
are away on weekends because they will not have to worry if their pet can get in
or out of the house while they are away
Offers Security
One of the safety features of the magnetic cat door is that it only opens for
your cat and for nothing else, locking itself after the cat is inside the house.
This means that if your cat is chased by another animal, like a feroucious dog,
the door will keep other animals from following your cat inside the house. As an
extra feature, since the door is locked, burglars can't use it to sneak into the
house or to insert an object that will open the lock.
These doors normally come with the following settings which can be set to the
owners liking: In and Out, In only, Out only and Locked. Magnetic cat doors
aren't really harder to install than regular cat doors.
Generally the magnetic pet door is weatherproofed which will help keep out
drafty cold weather in the winter and blazing hot heat from the sun in summer.
While a magnetic cat door is very convenient, it's not recommended for very
young kittens.
Cost
Their price is about $50. But some fancy models can cost up to $100. Luxurious
or custom made models can cost even more.
If you have a cat, installing a magnetic cat door is a very good idea. This way, there's no need to open the door or a window every time the cat goes in or out. Oh, and a magnetic pet door will ONLY open for your cat.
