Building a Cat Integration Door

Дата публикации: 11-07-2026 02:16:04

We have a newer cat that doesn't get along with our two existing cats, so we've been keeping them in separate parts of the house, which is unworkable long term. My spouse had the thought that perhaps if the cats can see and smell each other but can't really attack or chase each other they'll become accustomed to each other.
This "project" is a rough description and three photos of a custom interior door I made for this purpose.Our first idea was to mount a regular exterior screen door inside, but after further thought we realized it would be shredded by the cats. We also have an older house with odd door sizes so I would have had to build filler panels or something to use an off-the-shelf screen door anyway.
I decided to build a basic frame out of butt-jointed 2X4s which were screwed and glued together in a rectangular frame. I then cut a sheet of cedar lattice to fit the inside of the frame and added little wooden cleats to secure the lattice to the frame.
I'd strongly advise using 2X6es for the uprights rather than 2X4s, the 2X4s were too narrow to allow proper installation of a standard lock set. I made no attempt at fine carpentry here - this will hopefully be just a temporary installation until cat harmony rings throughout the land. Materials cost about $80. Also note- most of the available lattice was pressure treated wood which is toxic to animals. Only use cedar or untreated woods.[Link
