Our cat loves the lanai and birdcage, she occasionally lets us use these! We went one step further when we had the birdcage installed, and had pet screen installed on the lower section, and had the screen replaced in the lanai lower section with pet screen. This was done to keep other animals out. As for a door, we have friends that have a bird cage with a grass area inside the bird cage for their dog. The only thing they mentioned was they need to be careful cutting the grass, lawn contractors will not do this, and they use a lawn mower that mulches the grass, but there is still some clean up to keep cuttings out of the house.
