This could all be prevented if people were not too lazy to open & close their doors for their pets at need, instead of cutting a hole in it for them to run loose.

It only takes one mad squirrel; or a possum, coon, or skunk; or an enterprising tyke/teen burglary team to make believers out of them. Or, tragically, one squished cat or dog.

Pets, unless invited & taken elsewhere, belong in the home & yard of their owner, for both their safety, and the safety of the owner’s finances.

My cat likes to come and go at 2 AM (yard is fenced, which discourages long forays). Not wanting to get up at 2AM is NOT "lazy".

My rat terrier dog is very shy, and will not make a noise to be let out. She just looks "worried". Doesn't work too well if you are in another room.

That flap is a wonderful addition to our home, and no coon, squirrel etc. has figured it out in four years of rural living.
