Cat door to wet bath in T@B 400

Member Posts: 85
When my wife and I go traveling, we always bring our cats (actually one of the reasons we bought the T@B 400 to travel around the country). We keep the litter box in the wet bath so it's out of the way, but we hate propping the door open all day just for the cats -- it significantly narrows the hallway and makes it harder for the humans to move around. We decided a cat door would be perfect.
I searched the forums for an existing modification to add a cat door to the wet bath but didn't find anything, so my wife suggested making a corner cat door to keep the design simple. I cut the bottom right corner off of the door at 12" on each side and added two small hinges and some magnetic latches to keep it opened and closed. That door size works well for our two small-medium cats (9 lbs.).
For the most part, we keep the cat door open and only close it for privacy when using the toilet or the shower.

It's nice because it has really high sides but it's still small enough that we can usually step around it, but lifting it out is still very easy with just one hand.
I'm not sure why it's so hard to find it in the US, probably because there is another product with the same name that is not a litter box at all. The link I gave above is to a Canadian PetSmart, but we bought ours at the local pet supply store.
