Hmmmm.... I don't know. Will ask my SO, he's sure to know. I do know
that some friends of mine have their induction cooktop quite close to
the cat door. It's one of those doors activated by the chip in the
cat's collar. Well, when their cooktop is on, the cat door clicks
open, shut, open, shut,.... But then, that's because it's a magnetic
lock.
