Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2005Cars for Cats~
Yesterday, I tagged along on a test drive of a brand new top of the line Toyota Avalon. Very NICE car with a powerful engine, separate rear A/C unit for the back seat passengers and ... AND ... a cat door. Yes! A cat door! Check it out! Just fold down the arm rest and there's the cat sized door to the trunk! http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/naias_2005/0501_toyota_avalon/ > Just fold down the arm rest and there's the cat sized door to > the trunk! <Ahem> lol I think that is for umbrellas, and other longer packages. Of course what cat could resist a little door, especially one that smells like top grain leather. >> Just fold down the arm rest and there's the cat sized door to >> the trunk!

It's a CAT DOOR ;^) The opening is about the width of your hand with fingers spread wide. No self respecting cat would slum it in anything less than a jag! chas > Yesterday, I tagged along on a test drive of a brand new top of the line Toyota > Avalon.

The closed doorway is visible with the arm rest down, as shown. That's why I included the picture set. Now, did you expect the words "cat door" to appear in the Toyota or the magazine copy? Well, did you? I didn't know there were scrolling pictures (only looked @ the first one) till you pointed it out. There is a commercial these days w/young dude shoving an obnoxious dog back into one of those "doors"; then his doting girl owner rescues him (dog) from rear deck area. "Cat door" might be next; the tv commercials are full of big smelly hairy d-pets jumping in and out of SUV's! LOL. >>> Yesterday, I tagged along on a test drive of a brand new top of the line >>> Toyota Avalon.

LOL. Thank you, Hopitus. That narrow scroll bar along the left side of the screen must be invisible to some computer users. LOL Maybe we'll find Megan's cats stashed in the trunk of her new Avalon.

LOL But, everyone has a scroll bar on the right side. ;^) > But, everyone has a scroll bar on the right side. ;^) Hey, I just found out. If you use Internet explorer, you can put the scroll bar on the left side! (like anyone would want to, but you can, it's easy) Right click on a blank spot on the page... In the popout menu, come down to >Encoding Scoot over on that menu, it drops down, then Go> Right-To-Left-Document So yeah, I got a scroll bar on the left side after all. lol >> But, everyone has a scroll bar on the right side. ;^) > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > So yeah, I got a scroll bar on the left side after all. lol Indeed. But everything else on the page is also reorientened righ to left. Make this change to somebody's computer and watch 'em sweat. LOL > Indeed. But everything else on the page is also reorientened righ to left. > Make this change to somebody's computer and watch 'em sweat. LOL but once you click a link, it defaults back Cat door or not, it's up to the puchaser to decide. *But* this does remind me of a story DH's nephew told of when he was in traing for the reserves, stationed in Texas. Him and 6 other guys decided to go down into Mexico to do some drinking. To get there they had to rent a car - and at 10pm, the only car the rental place had left was a Dodge Neon. Tiny Car. Six strapping young military dudes. Barely enough room for 4 adults in those cars. But they managed to get 6 of them into the passenger area, the smallest went into the trunk. The return trip was, um, eventful, to say the least. To begin with, they were all drunk. Some weenie couldn't hold his likker (if I had been there, that would have been me), so they pulled over to let him out to toss up whatever he could. Nearby was a hotel/motel. In their drunken rauciousness, they woke a guest of said hotel - hotel guest looks out the window and sees a bunch of guys pulled off the road, and in his mind, stuffing a body back into the trunk. Nephew & pals continue on their journey, only to have at least 6 police cars surround them within 20 minutes. All officers had their guns drawn and pointed at them. The innebreated 7 sobered up real quick, but the funniest part is when DH's nephew, the last person to exit the car, was just getting out & the a set of hands comes poking out the access panel for the trunk. Nephew said the look on the cops faces was so funny - he lost it! Needless to say they escaped going to jail for murder, even for DUI by telling the cops that they were heading for the hotel up the road. > I didn't know there were scrolling pictures (only looked @ the first > one) till you pointed it out.

I think you're reading into it what you want. As someone else pointed out it's likely an opening for long objects like skiis. It does not even make sense to have a cat door to a car's trunk. The cat rides in a buckled carrier, not in a trunk. Adam >>>>Yesterday, I tagged along on a test drive of a brand new top of the line Toyota >>>>Avalon.
