Would this work on a door left slightly ajar, just enough to let the cat out?

It holds the door in place. The door can be partly opened or completely closed. It involves the under side of the bottom of the door. A rubber door stop may be simpler to use than the Door Jammer. It takes a minute to install. Not a big deal. But a door stop is super easy.

I would think so, but then a robber could just reach in and unscrew it. It also matters how much room you have between the bottom of the door and the floor. Remember the item is used for blocking out intruders, not to leave the door open.

I think my SureFlap door would click open when my cat put his head about 2 inches from the door. And no, I never had any problems with it not opening. But mine is in the trash because the raccoons kept going thru it to get to the cat's food and after awhile the cat wouldn't use it any more. Be sure to get the raccoon-proof model, if you buy it! It was a good idea but mine turned out to be a waste if money.

Probably. If your cat seems to like the solid, long vertical surfaces of a door frame, this would be the closest thing, and the fact that it's sisal covered should make it more appealing than a door frame. If I had this problem, I would get this and keep a squirt bottle handy. Praise him when he uses the post, squirt him when he uses the door frame.

Yes I use mine to keep my cat from pushing the screen out. Its a decorative look on the door

I think so. The door is really light. Once it has been released by the magnet, it moves quite freely.

Probably would depend on what size door you would get. I installed the LARGE size and our cat (on the small size) has not been able to get through it. A 15 lb cat may be able to though. The bigger the door size the more magnets so a smaller door (beagle size?) may not be a problem for a such size cat.

My cat is only 8 lbs (at full size) and she is able to slip in and out of this door with no troubles. It took her a few weeks to get used to it, but it can happen. So the answer to this question is, yes.

It should work. My cats are rather large. Both are upwards of 15 lbs, tall and round. They through the door just fine. Its a great pet door. I put it on an interior door and I did have to tape the flap up. My cats can't seem to get the idea that they have to push the flap to go through the door.

Possibly. Mine was too rigid for y pets to feel comfortable using and when it got windy it flew open. I prefer the pliable version of these doors.

If you can position the cat genie so that the mechanical part is by the wall, then the portion the cat uses will be more open. I haven't had that problem

I really depends on the window. The cat door doesn't have anything built in. A simple solution might be a stick the right size to wedge in the window to prevent it from opening.

I would say if your cat doesn't jump high it would work great! I have 2 smaller dogs and I use it as a separator for the family room and dining area. The door works fantastic to go through.

I wouldn't recommend it. There is a little more than an 1/8 in gap between the cat door and the door that buts up to it. They provide a sticky strip of plastic to cover that gap but I wouldn't guess that would work in Wisconsin. That plastic strip didn't stay stuck for long. I live in Maui, Hawaii so it's not too bad for me.

i do not see why this could not be attached to a cat door... you would probably have to improvise to attach it but i do not see hwy it could not be done

No I don't think so. It is pretty small. My cat is pretty chubby and just squeezes through the door.

your cat will be able to go out but will not be able to get back in.We use a magnet on the outside of the door to check that it works as it will click to unlock it.

Our dogs have no trouble using the door in either direction--the magnetic strips are secure, but release easy enough. I would not think a small dog would have any trouble: our two 12 pound cats enter and exit very easily.
