CAT FLAP INSTALLATION  A COMPLETE GUIDE

cf.jpg

Does your cat enjoy relaxing in the sunshine outside or wandering the neighborhood to socialize with their fellow felines? Or maybe you have a cat who loves being outdoors as well as indoors. With active felines like these, it’s easy to start feeling like a doorman having to let your cat in and out of the house constantly.

Cat Flaps are a great way to keep your kitty safe and out of trouble when you're not around. A cat flap enables your cat to go in and out through its very own personal door, which is fitted into your main door. A cat flap can be installed in your external and internal doors to give your cat direct access to certain areas.

CLASSIC CAT FLAP

A classic cat flap is a two-way pet door that your cat can use at any time during the day and night. Unfortunately, it can also be used by your neighbour's cat, as the door access requires no authentication. If you don’t have a problem with the neighbourhood cats entering your home, a classic cat flap is a perfect inexpensive option for you.

LOCKABLE CAT FLAP

The lockable cat flap has the additional benefit of being locked when compared to the classic cat flap. This type of cat flap has an in-only or out-only mode. When your cat is back in the evening, you can lock the cat flap so that your cat doesn’t wander out in the night. This will also prevent other animals from coming into your home.

INFRARED CAT FLAP

An infrared cat flap comes with a certain key that is to be attached to your cat’s collar. With this device, the cat flap will only unlock if your cat’s in front of it. This way no other animals can get access into your home using this cat flap.

 

 

MAGNETIC CAT FLAP

A magnetic chip is attached to your cat’s collar, granting your cat easy access through the cat flap. However, if your neighbour’s cat has got a similar piece of magnetic chip, they might also be able to come into your home through this cat flap.

MICROCHIP CAT FLAP

Microchip cat flaps work by reading an electronic tag that would be embedded in your cat’s skin by a vet. These cat flaps are great if you want your cat to enter through the cat flap. As this microchip cat flap recognises your cat individually, it is also the most expensive one.
