I saw an interesting ad in a Hammacher Schlemmer Catalog for an
electronic pet door.  I know nothing about the door or its 
reliability, but had been reading the discussion on pet doors and
thought some might want to know about this.  The ad reads:

	THE ELECTRONIC CAT DOOR.  This is the only
	cat door that is opened exclusively by a 
	specially coded key worn on your cat's collar
	so only your pet may enter, preventing stray 
	animals from entering your home.  Unlike other
	pet doors, this model installs in doors, walls, 
	and even glass patio doors and uses a patented 
	full magnetic seal to prevent drafts and keep out
	insects and during rain and snow.  A unique 4-way 
	locking system lets you set the door to open from
	either side (allowing your cat to come and go 
	freely), from only one side (letting your cat exit
	or enter only), or to lock completely, so you can 
	regulate your pet's rounds without interrupting 
	your own activities.  The door can be set for 
	manual operation and may be used by small dogs
	with shoulder widths of less than 6 3/4 inches.  
	Uses four AA batteries (included) that last up 
	to one year; test feature lets you check battery
	condition.  Frame is ABS plastic; door is acrylic.
	Height: 8 3/4 inches.  Width: 8 3/4 inches. 
	Price $99.95.
	Post paid and Unconditionally Guaranteed.

The address of Hammacher Schlemmer is 147 East 57th Street, 
New York, NY  10022.  They also have a store in Chicago. Their
toll free number is 1-800-543-3366.

Once again, I don't anything about the company of the product.
I just found the catalog at work and the rest was history.

Electronic pet doors?  What will they think of next?  I much prefer
to have real live pets.  With computerization taking over all the
jobs on the market, isn't the position of Pet safe anymore?
I admit they eat less, require less litterbox maintenance, and accrue
much smaller vet bills, but that's missing the point!
Down with electonic pets!!
