Edit:
FlexLatch.com for all those who are asking!
I’ve been working on this video and need some feedback!
How many of you have dogs AND cats? Please help me get some data by letting me know where you keep your litter box!
INeedAHumourUpgrade
I have a seperate room for the cats, blocked off with an internal gate. Otherwise, WIR with a babygate!

While an interesting product, the simple construction will lead to Alibaba or Amazon dups eating away any online sales. Diversify products.
Jondare
Damnit, no shipping to Denmark ? I've been looking for EXACTLY this, guess I'll have to keep looking
Brhino
one set in the bedroom, where the dog only goes when we're there. One set behind a partially-propped door with a spring holding it closed.
SilverNicktail
So what you're saying is, this is an ad.
mindnoir
I keep ours in the basement, and had to but in a cat door to keep my dogs from going down there on their own. This would've been awesome
Fablandie
Not this again. How much free advertising do you want?
PierreCat
Thanks!
AvidApostate
The amount of personal advertising on imgur these days is annoying. Kind of amazing so much of it gets to the front page.
PierreCat
While I do agree, it’s social media. There’s always going to be someone promoting something as well and those who are interested in it.
FredGarvinMaleProstitute
litter boxes and pupper food belong in different rooms. you're a monster.
MagicalHamFlaps
i think it is a visual to describe why the latch on the door is needed for the litterbox
LiloPleo
Two litter boxes in the cats room, two in the hallway and one in the laundry.
The701
I keep it right next to my spam report box.
PierreCat
Thanks for the feedback!

This #ad was posted last month. Why is it on the front page again?
PierreCat
Not sure, it was resurrected
Onceuponaburrito
Top entry lidded boxes that are too tall for the poop eater to raid. The other dogs ignore the boxes completely.
PierreCat
Smart
KarlPhylos
This looks like something that would be easy to 3D print.
PierreCat
It totally would! But making it functional wouldn’t be easy. This has stainless steel inside of it for strength and rigidity.
thundercatshooo
I bought one and use it to hold the door in my garage open when I’m using my smoker in the winter. Works great!
PierreCat
That’s a great idea!
mattcoCat
Oh hey it's an ad! I've seen these before
LucidAftermath
Does it use a magnet or something? I don't see how a few jostles wouldn't knock the pin out of the door jam.
PierreCat
It has pretty strong pressure into the door frame. It won’t jostle out.
drdavessardogs
We have Malinois, we cannot have cats, nor can have children....for very long.
wrenchhead
I keep it in the laundry room, this would help
PierreCat
If you’re interested in more info it’s FlexLatch.com I just opened it a couple weeks ago.
Pensionar
I like the editing skills +1
biomechanic2010
small hole in the bottom of the door and 3d printed a cat-eared portal that also combs their fur when they crawl through. No shibas allowed
PierreCat
That’s so smart! Post pictures
biomechanic2010
Um.. lemme see if I have on my phone. Traveling for work
Boygirlcatparty
In the coat closet (sans coats) and in the bathroom. Gods speed, bud!!
PierreCat
Thanks!
thegreatgattosby
Cat door
PierreCat
Easy answer
DaUnkn0wn
That’s what we use too
tmy75wildcats101
Holy crap I need 12. Do you have anything for a sliding door with no handle????
PierreCat
No I don’t. Not yet anyways! Check out the website anyways
ingridwebb88
Is it magnetized? I feel like this would slip out too easily. We have a latch we had to secure to the door and the frame.
PierreCat
There’s a lot of outward pressure into the frame.
usuallyfappin
I bought one and worried it would slip out too. But it’s super springy when attached so it stays really strong in place with no problem.
PierreCat
Thanks!
PurpleHippo664
My cats little box and food is in the laundry room, we use a baby gate to keep the dog out
GypsyStar91
Me too! My cats have a bedroom, litter in the bathroom, and food in the laundry. All three doors have baby gates so only cats can jump over
RedOnDaHead
Mine is in laundry room, under the sink. I removed the cabinet doors to the sink and put a curtain instead.
rainbowstraws
Ooh, that's a good idea. Much lower key than fiddling a pet door (esp if renting xD)
cantcomplain
Me 3! Litter box is the great outdoors via pet door but baby gate to wall off cat food room. PITA to go over gate every time. But...
cantcomplain
door swing in to room, making this solution a little less appealing. A little.
PurpleHippo664
Mine is a swing door, so thankful those a a thing now!
porcupinebuttsniffer
stop uploading this under false pretences. every time a different caption, with a different question in it. keep ads off of imgur fuck sake
PierreCat
Thanks!
Valthar
Similar to the "I made a game" ad... or the "I painted this" ad... about once a day for weeks. Stop, Fuck off
PierreCat
It’s social media. You won’t always agree with everyone. Maybe you should try to contribute instead of trolling.
Skawomplious
Maybe you should fuck off and buy some ads.
PierreCat
Thanks for the insight! Sorry you’re so mad.
memepawn
Links? I only see one time uploaded from op.
Skawomplious
Because he deletes the old ones so that he doesn't look like a serial abuser when the mods look at his post history. Keep reporting him.
porcupinebuttsniffer
he takes the post off of the gallery and reuploads it. go back 3 wks in his comments and press context and it'll take you back here
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Yeah I defended the idea the first time I saw it but this has gotten ridiculous. 3D print it and fuck this guy for his ToS violation.
joshcrimson
Upstairs in the open. My dog can come upstairs when invited, but not otherwise. Doesn’t go up when I’m not home because he is a good boy.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Wish my roommates dog was that well behaved. She will climb up on my sofa and over everything to get at the cat food on the end table..
PierreCat
Good boys are the best boys.
phonoodle415
My bunny never goes into the bedroom. He did it once and i told him NO and he just knows not to go in. He gona chew everything up
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I’m so proud of how well you trained your dog.
joshcrimson
Thank you, internet stranger. I adopted my cat and dog within a few days of each other and I wanted the upstairs to be a "safe space" for
joshcrimson
the cat while they get acclimated. I don't have to reinforce much now, but early on it was just maintaining a rigid and organized structure.
PierreCat
That’s beautiful
iamthecomet
Dude I saw this last time you posted it. I totally understand what it is just based on the video and I want two.
stlouiscardinalsfan7
I’ll need one for my kids. That way it’s easier to hear them through the opening but they also can stay away.. just kidding……….
blondebombshell
This is so incredibly handy! Wow great idea! I know have another reason to get a cat
Slaughterloo
I bought one a week ago and it's pretty damn great!
PierreCat
I would love a couple action shots if you can!
AdoraBelle83
Me too, but no shipping to Canada
PierreCat
International shipping is stupid expensive
PierreCat
FlexLatch.com if you’re interested
Merkonian
No, since you seem to have created a torment of Tantalus for the dog, which is pretty evil.
lostgen
22 dollars for one? the fuck lol
dramaticpaws
And 22 is such a weird amount. $9.95 would be reasonable and a two pack for like $17.95. I'm interested & would want two but $44 seems high.
PierreCat
Thanks!
PierreCat
Does that seem expensive for you?
BigTex1
To me? Yes. But you’d have to sit down and figure up the cost of labor, materials, expendables (glue, sand paper, etc.), advertising, >>
BigTex1
lostgen
it seems expensive for what it is. i got baby gates for a similar price is all.
cardinal29
Yes. It's a very simple piece of plastic. Imgurians will be 3D printing them.
PierreCat
It has stainless steel molded inside of it. Thanks for the feedback! I can always lower the price if needed, but raising would be tough.
knowallknownothing
Yes! That’s triple what it should cost. It’s a flexible piece of plastic with a pin. Phenomenal idea and execution, outrageous price. GLWS
PierreCat
Thanks!
DavidBowiesEyepatch
Show the dog failing to get in. I didn't understand the purpose until I read. Which means, your video is lacking this context. Good quality
Ivalicenyan
Anyone that owns dogs and cats understand the context. Especially after showing a shot of cat food
kerms
I thought it was obvious. Anyone who has a need for it will be able to parse the context.
DavidBowiesEyepatch
But why be obtuse when you want to reach a broad market?
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Now, this comment is really confusing to me, because the vid very clearly shows the dog failing to get in??
DavidBowiesEyepatch
Yeah, I missed it. I blinked.
PierreCat
Thanks so much! Excellent honest feedback
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Maybe show a litterbox instead of food, since food might not need to be separate, but a litterbox likely does.
PierreCat
Perfect! Thanks
JaceTiger
Or use an obvious cat bowl. Maybe put a dog emoji with an X over it? Maybe words to explain
SirSage
Wont some1 who sees this just infer its to block dog for various reasons? It shouldnt need a video for food, litterbox, trashcan, baby, etc.
ThatWhineInYourEars
But why male models?
BrokeMyFunnyBone
If you're marketing something, you want it to be clear why they would want it. Just because they know it's for blocking a dog, doesn't mean
BrokeMyFunnyBone
they'll think of a reason why they would want to block the dog in the first place. Without that reason, they wouldn't buy the product.
treed240z
But he DID show the dog failing to get in, and then immediately answered my next question of "Won't the dog just close the door?" It can't!
DavidBowiesEyepatch
Uh.. either I mixed up the bloodhound for the cat or... @OP updated the vid?
PierreCat
No I haven’t updated it. I think they’re trying to communicate that I should show the dog getting in and then not being able to get in after
hungrybookworm
It's a bit confusing that we see the dog trying to get in and in the next shot it looks like as if he's on the other side bc of the
hungrybookworm
different angle, as if he's succeeded.
DavidBowiesEyepatch
I honestly didn't see the dog.
rayvn
It took mea moment to figure it out because of the change of the shot - the dog was shown outside the room, attempting to enter, then /1
rayvn
/2 the next show was apparently from inside the room with the dog looking in. That sudden of a shot change made it seem more like a time
PierreCat
Gotcha
