I adopted a cat from a shelter a while ago. She wasn't very social and absolutely hated the dog, but I hoped her shyness would keep her indoors. Unfortunately it didn't and she went out the doggy door and never came back. I'd like to try again, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen all over.
Suggestons? (Sincere, please)

You Could Get The Automatic Doggy Door Which Keeps Stray Animals Out And Your Cat Inside And Only Lets The Dog With The Infrared Collar Key Access Through The Door.

The only way to keep a cat from going out the doggy door would be to get the type of dog door that requires a magnetic "key" for entry - the "key" is usually a small device you can attach to your dog's collar. This would allow the dog to enter and exit through the door but not the cat.
Other than that, the only other way to keep your cat from going out the doggy door would be not to have either a doggy door or a cat.

If you decide to get another cat, keep the doggy door closed for six-eight weeks so she will be use to being stuck with the dog, hopefully it won't happen again. Or if you have an invisible fence, get a small collar for the cat and teach it the same way you would a dog.

Indoor cats have a existence expectancy of 15 years and previous. outdoor cats have a existence expectancy of two to 4 years. in case you grant an indoor cat with a advantageous SCREENED window that overlooks the action outdoors (close to a tree with birds or over a hectic sidewalk or highway), and you place a window seat in the window (those are obtainable in all puppy grant retailers and intensely inexpensively on line), so as that they are in a position to sit down down at a advantageous secluded top and save song of each and every thing happening outdoors, they're very, very pleased. enhance this with toys like the Cat Dancer, save their claws trimmed, and you have an exceptionally pleased, content fabric animal. My older cat only likes to consume grass. She does not use it just to make herself erp; she is a salad style of female. via fact she fairly won't run away, I do enable her out to lots somewhat grass now and lower back, on warm days while the solar is intense and the grass is advantageous. yet she is 14, and does no longer want to run away in any respect. IF she have been services to run away, i might get somewhat harness, then circulate outdoors and enable her roam yet on a leash. i might by no skill, ever, EVER enable a cat of mine roam loose. people, poisons, automobiles, raccoons, different cats, canines -- too many existence-ending threats.

Add sticky double sided tape on the front of the door, the cat wont go near it because it hates the sticky stuff on it's paws. That should be enough to deter it from going towards the door.

The only thing I can think of is to latch the door so it won't open. Otherwise, kitty will go again.
