noise when opening spooks the cats,

you can turn the bleep off.

Missed the point as usual. The noise is from the motor winding the latch
in and out. Our cats soon got used to it though.

electronic control only works one way,

Rubbish, you can set it in many ways, even depending on time of day,
well on my one. Handy if yuo donl;t want you cat going out at night or
whatever.

Missed the point again. I didn't buy a Pet Porte because at the time it
only denied access *in one direction* - in. I wanted to control the cats
going out, too. They gave some meaky mouthed reply that an add-on would
be available soon - but were unwilling to give a time frame. Then I
discovered that the company was being run by someone who didn't have a
good reputation in another newsgroup - although I think it changed hands
in the end.
