Is the cat door see through transparent like glass or opaque, my cat will not go through unless she can see what is behind the door

It is very clear, transparent, like glass. Not opaque (my old cat door was probably what you call opaque, like a haze or film over it; this is definitely clear in comparison).

Yes, the cat can see through. Our cats are the same way, if it wasn't transparent they wouldn't use it

It's totally transparent, like glass, but its plastic. The whole thing is well built, and the one I bought is big enough for my 25 pound Maine Coon!

IT is see through, but it is tinted. If there is a light on you can see through it easily. if there is no light behind it, then it is difficult to see through. Like a tinted car window

It's has a little tint, but you can see through it. You will have to clean it occasionally, as the dirt will build up from the cat's paws.

It's transparent though it seems to be slightly tinted. My ever so lovely Isabelle likes to sit on the other side of the door and give me the death glare.

Our cat has no issue with the door, took about a week of the cat pawing at it before it would walk thru since then it's been great

Sorry not sure of the answer to this one...I have only used the cat flap on wooden doors. There are doors that are made specifically for glass though: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/251349985898?limghlpsr=true&lpid=104 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/291015675433?limghlpsr=true&lpid=104 http://www.cat-world.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/85313-cat-door-through-a-glass-window/ This site gives an answer to a similar question: Hi, I have 2 cat doors through glass window panels, 1 on each side of the house as my cat cages and tunnels go right around my fence line and house. The one in the spare bedroom we got 3 years ago and the other in the garage which is now a large family room, 2 years ago. I cant find my receipts for the costs involved for the glassier, but try Windscreens O'brien for costs, (my glass in the garage started to crack in the corner where the cat flap was and my original glassier was not happy to do it again, less than 12 months later) they were excellent for service. Turns out my original glassier did a bad job on that particular glass panel twas was not my cats fault, I have 5 insiders that use them constantly. I have those Dr Harry cat window perches as well which have been drilled into the window ledges for better support. The cat doors I purchased both from ebay. Catwalk superior cat doors, they come in clear or white. Hope that helps a little. Cheers Petra

No It is opaque. I put a white liner behind it It is plastic. I was hoping for cloth. But it looks nice. Want to get a black curtain rod to match the black lines the birds are standing on.

Well, transparent would imply completely see-through. It's sort of semi-transluscent depending on what is behind it. I used the material to backlight a projector image through a window and you could see the image clearly on the other side. Lookingout through the window or into the house however, you couldn't see anything. If it is stretched tight over something darker than the white fabric, you may be able to see underneath.

How open is it? If the lock is not in the correct setting for your preferred use, it does not completely close. However, if it is open a sizable distance, I would say it is defective. Ask for a replacement. When properly working, it is a really great door. My cats love it and I am pleased with it.

Sorry I do not have an answer for you maybe you need to get a Nother cat door

It's practically completely opaque. It has a highly reflective surface. You'll see a reflection of what is on it, but not what is underneath it.

This is what I installed it for...My neighbors look into any window they can get to....I went outside about every 15 minutes after I installed it and after dark too, and was pleased to discover that the inside light is SMEARED into unrecognizable colors. My cat also took over the ledge there so I don't dare put my blinds down (CAT crash---blinds) and Outside... They can see light but NOT WHAT is in the room! I like SMEAR!!!!! This is great.

Hi Wendy, it is not transparent all of the way through so that you can actually see the staples. The staples are encased in a silver casing inside the plastic part. Hope this helps!

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

1) In only, 2) out only 3) closed completely 4) open completely I'm not thrilled with this door. There is no liner to cover up the bar inside of the door once you cut the hole so wood shows. It's rough, and over time it will probably darken and look crappy. Also, they did not send screws long enough to adequately attach it to the door. I had screws, so it worked out, but this is not the best door I've ever bought. If I were to do it over, I'd find another option. My cat passed away shortly after we got it, so not sure how it will hold up, but prior doors at other homes installed easier and lasted longer than I anticipate this one will. 1) In only, 2) out only 3) closed completely 4) open completely I'm not thrilled with this door.

It is see-through, although it might be a little bit tinted. You will be able to see your pet perfectly on the other side of the flap. I can even see her facial expression "Don't you see me standing here? Are you gonna let me in or what?".

Did you ever find a gate that was secure for your baby but your cat could pass through? I'm having this same issue and it's difficult to tell by only reading the descriptions while reading over them.

translucent. It lets light in but you cannot see through it as you can with a transparent curtain.

Looking at mine it doesn't seem to have a tint to the glass and while assembling it the glass was clear.As for the dust, it reduces the amount of dust but does not eliminate it. The case is not completely sealed. There is ~0.2 in space on each side of the door to allow for movement.

It's definitely more on the opaque side but it's translucent. you can't really see through it, just more of outlines/shadows
