Kitty Door Magnetic Rain Flap

When it's raining and sliding door is closed but your feral kitties need to go...cuz they crazy.

Tools:
- Marking pen
- Knife
- Scissors
- Tape (Duct may not be the best, will explain)

Materials:
- Cardboard
- Garbage bag
- Square neodymium magnets

Draw Out Plan and Start!

Measure your door, how much space you have to place the magnets, and how high you want the kitty door.

Cut and Fit

Start cutting from the measurements and create the flap you want

// Be mindful of how it will snap in...
In design, ABTA: Always Be Thinking Ahead

In the moment, just breathe and enjoy what's in front of you :)

Wrap the Cardboard in the Bodybag

A deal you can't refuse (you've come this far)!

You can use the funky LED-modded Bag Sealer you made previously to cut and seal but scissors and tape work as well ;)

// I guess this is a good time to talk about the Tape of Duct:
the kitties might not like the smell, they have used the door but they seem very wary and I can especially understand from the usual smell of our present culprit.

Apply Magnets Like Smerhh

Lay down the magnet, tape and then tape, and follow with a magnet (making sure to align polarities correctly)
Sort like laying down brick and mortar?

Create a nice solid top flap so it hangs with a sturdy gusto!
(I used larger magnets for the top)

Ta-Da!

If you look at the photo with the Door Flap installed (#2), you'll see how I made some side flaps for the hinging door flap
...That may also be the reason why it was tripping out the kitties.

Experiment! (and get back to me)

// You can most definitely get it looking prettier than mine

+it folds up!

Hope you enjoyed.

*Question I want to leave you with:

What else can you make with cardboard to enhance your day-to-day life?
