My little man nelson is a runner and always makes a break for the sliding door onto the deck.
Stop cat opening sliding doors.
Maybe too smart as he s figured out how to open doors.
Keeping your cat from bedrooms can help reduce human allergies and ensure a good night s rest.
What a great and cost effective solution.
I have a cat with severe pica and don t want him eating my clothes.
He s super able with the all the other closets which have sliding doors easy to paw open and he can open the kitchen cupboards too.
I spray him with water when he starts to try to open the screen slider but i can t watch him all the time and that screen slider is the only fresh air i get in my living dining room and kitchen.
Cat barriers for slider doorways can be a little trickier.
Sliders will not serve as a partial block the way that a conventional door does so stepping through a swinging door in a pet gate will still leave a wide slip through area.
Stopping access to the outdoors can help keep your cat safe from predators and cars.
Training your cat away from pushing open doors can serve several useful purposes.
Luckily i have only one bifold door the hall closet and that s the one nicki has not figured out how to open.
Don t close any doors.
As a servant to many cats over the years the answer is simple.
And keeping your kitty out of pantries basements and garages can prevent injury or accidental ingestion of harmful substances.
I can t keep my sliding glass door open because my cat figured out how to open the screen slider and he escapes.
And they still can open them up.
I ve tried blocking the doors with objects placing door stops under them poles etc.
Seriously if you want to keep a door closed against the onslaught of cats make sure they the doors not the cats latch firmly and that the handles are not.
I trained him to tap on door knobs when he wanted to go out because i wanted him to stop jumping on my room mate s desk and yowling instead.
Percy is a great cat very friendly and smart.
Op i have a problem with my cat too opening sliding doors and also the linen cupboard nothing nicer than a fresh towel to sit on except a whole pile of fresh towels.
