Could a cat get inside this unit and get killed??

A full size cat I would say no. Anything the size of a rat or a little larger could get in it. I have cats around my house and have had no problems.

This is Jim, the inventor of the Kitty Tube. We purposely do not offer a second door, and here are the reasons. The true predators of a cat (dogs, coyotes, etc.) cannot get their head inside the special sized and shaped door opening of the Kitty Tube. Coyotes especially know how to catch cats. If your cat escapes out a second opening, there is a good chance your cat will be caught and killed. Your cat is safe inside the kitty tube in an attack, as the predator cannot get inside like it could with an Igloo or similar product. Also, the single door dramatically keeps the heat inside the Kitty Tube. NOTE: Raccoons can on occasions try to enter a Kitty Tube for shelter. (large raccoons would not fit). Do not be overly concerned about the safety of your cat if a raccoon tried to get in with your cat. Raccoons are not known to be a predator, and I have never heard in all of my research about a raccoon killing or harming a cat. The Kitty Tube is the only cat house with this unique door opening.

I don't have a cat but personally I think it would be super easy for your cat to push through the screen opening and get out.

I think if your cat was to jump on it and lost traction and put it's claws out it may put a hole in it. But just in general I think it would be ok.

No. It will ram the cat if it gets in the way. It moves pretty fast and can push dining room chairs around.

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

Yes, the cats would destroy this. I was looking for a divider to just keeping a cat out of a room that like to claw up the furniture and piss it up. Only lasted 3 days and cat found a way to climb it. Other than that, it was a nice looking divider before the cat got to it. Trading in this cat for a dog.

Hmmmm, depends on how hungry he is and how big he/she is. If he will fit in the hole there would be nothing stopping him/her. My cat weighs about 13 lbs. and is rather tall, so if he fits and he's determined, absolutely he could.

It would be hard to secure for a cat. They could get out easily & I think they would be scared.

Yes you can. As long as no other animal can get to it like a cat as it will kill them too.

No. Unless your cats hits the window fairly hard it will will scare him. It's a good item

Yes your cat will be very safe and will not be able to escape, has a clip down on outside so you cat will be unable to open it from in side.

No. You might be able to fit it into that space, but it will be difficult for the cat to access the different levels.

Not unless you want to ruin it. This was purchased for a 18-pound cat and he loves it.

the 2 plastic flaps are magnetized at the bottom so its KIND OF a push to get thru. im sure if a cat wasnt intimidated by it they could certainly get thru.

I put my cats in there and they hated it. So I'm reasonably certain if there was a way out, they would have found it. As far as I can tell there are not holes, gaps or any slits for escape. It was so easy to push around also.

Our home only has a wood deck, which overlooks the water, so the only thing I can see if you were to place this on the grass, is the cat might be able to sneek under and get loose or the wind, might lift this unit high enough, so the cat can escape??
