Local entrepreneurs enter their products in Walmart's annual GetontheShelf contest

Jim and Carol Owens of Waterford have entered their Cat-Door in Walmart’s “GetOnTheShelf,” contest and Gary Jensen has entered his Krazy Grease in the contest.
Cat-Door is an easy-to-install cat-sized door that can be installed in a basement, laundry room, or spare closet door, to hide a cat's litter box behind a closed interior door. With the door closed, the cat will still be able to get in and out. Large dogs and toddlers will not.
The cat door also contains a removable brush in the arch-frame that grooms the cat. The frame is made of durable ABS plastic with a matte-white finish.
The couple’s granddaughter, Meghan, handles sales for the product.
All components of the product are made in the United States. The frames are made by a family-owned company in Lapeer. To vote for Cat-Door, visit www.CAT-DOOR.net or on the Facebook page CAT-DOOR or at getontheshelf.walmart.com/product/11c1getontheshelf.walmart.com/product/11c1
