I've had a medium sized Pet Door installed for over 9 years and have
had no problems with visitors.  It was originally installed for my
dog who was very territorial, so no animal ventured into the house.
About a year ago, I acquired a cat and after a little work, she 
was using the door also (no litter box!).

I was a little worried when I had to put my dog asleep about 2 months
ago about whether we would begin having vistors brought in by the cat.
Luckily she is also rather territorial and I've had to get her out 
of a few scrapes when she was protecting her house from an
intruder cat.  

One warning however, our cat likes to bring presents and toys into
the house.  Up to date, this includes 1 rat, 2 mice, 3 birds (1 alive),
101 lizards.  She loves to chase lizards. 

Personally, I wouldn't be without a pet door because it saves me alot
of worry if I stay out late and my pet can have more freedom and 
hopefully not get bored too often.

Good luck.
