The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["The Gnome Door stands out in this category for its decorative styling, finished in brown and green rather than the plain white or black most cat doors ship in. It's a no-flap interior door, meaning there's no hinged or magnetic flap for a cat to push through, and it's lockable for times you want to close off access entirely.", "It measures 9.25 by 10.83 inches and is rated for cats up to 20 pounds, also listed as suitable for cats and small dogs. At $39.95 it's priced in line with the other Purrfect Portal doors in this roundup, which makes sense since it's made by the same brand under a different design name.", 'It has a 4.8 star rating from 598 reviews, with about 400 units sold in the past month, and ranks number 18 in the Cat Doors category on Amazon, a solid position for a decorative model.']

Performance notes
Built from ABS plastic with a plastic frame, it measures 9.25 by 10.83 inches, on the larger side for a 20 pound weight rating, which should give cats a comfortable amount of clearance. The lockable feature adds a way to fully block access, something the plain no-flap Meow Manor doors don't call out.
What buyers say
A 4.8 rating from 598 reviews and roughly 400 units sold in the past month points to strong, consistent satisfaction for a decorative niche product.
Yes, it's listed as lockable, so you can fully block access through the opening when needed.
Is this only for cats?
It's rated for cats up to 20 pounds and is also listed as suitable for small dogs, based on the manufacturer's pet type listing.
Does the decorative look come in other colors?
The listing specifies a brown and green gnome-style finish, so buyers should confirm current color options before ordering if they want a specific look.
