Let your cat come and go on their terms — while you stay in complete control. The Petbuds Smart Cat Door gives your cat the freedom to move between rooms or in and out of the house, without leaving your home open to strays or unwanted visitors. Featuring RFID recognition technology and a remote control, you decide exactly who gets through and when — all without lifting a finger. Why You'll Love It RFID Access — Only Your Cat Gets In The door reads your pet's RFID tag from up to 20cm away and unlocks automatically. Neighbourhood cats and other animals simply can't get through. Remote Control Included as Standard Unlike most pet doors, the Petbuds comes with a remote so you can switch locking modes from across the room — handy for keeping your cat inside at night without getting off the couch. Installs in Under an Hour The included template makes cutting the hole straightforward, and all screws are provided. No special tools needed — just trace, cut, and screw it in. Key Features 4 Locking Modes: Switch between Free Access, In Only, Out Only, and Fully Locked to suit the time of day or situation. RFID Smart Recognition: Detects your pet's unique RFID tag within 20cm — no strangers or neighbourhood strays getting through. Remote Control Included: Change modes instantly without walking to the door. Included as standard in every Petbuds pack. Mode Indicator Lights: LED indicators on the front panel show the current mode at a glance — no guessing required. Transparent Flap: Clear flap lets light through and allows your cat to see before pushing through, reducing hesitation. Battery Powered: Runs on 4 x AA batteries (not included) — no wiring, no electrician, fits any door. Suits Cats Up to 25 lbs (11kg): Medium size fits most domestic cats. Flap opening is 190mm wide x 205mm high. Durable Construction: Weather-resistant frame built to handle Australian conditions — humidity, heat, and daily wear. RFID recognition range: up to 20cm. Your cat triggers the door before they even reach it — smooth, stress-free access every time.

No — the Petbuds Smart Cat Door uses its own RFID tags (included), not implanted microchips. Simply attach the provided tag to your cat's collar and the door will recognise them automatically. Can I use this on a hollow-core door? Yes, hollow-core interior doors are suitable. For external doors, a solid timber or MDF panel of at least 20mm thickness is recommended for a secure, weatherproof fit. The door is not recommended for glass or metal doors. How long do the batteries last? Battery life varies with usage, but most owners find 4 x AA batteries last several months under normal use. The low-battery indicator light will alert you before the door stops functioning. What if I have more than one cat? Each Petbuds Smart Cat Door supports multiple RFID tags. Additional tag keys and collar tags are available as optional accessories through the Petbuds store. How difficult is installation? Most customers complete installation in under an hour with basic tools. Trace around the frame with the included template, cut along the line, insert the door, and fasten with the provided screws. Full step-by-step instructions are included in the box.
