If you have one or more pet cats, then you might want to install one or two
or even more cat flaps for both your and your pets' convenience. They are very
practical because they give more freedom to your cat while at the same time
saving you the trouble of opening the door every single time.
It pays to have a professional install them so that they won't let water in
whenever it rains; it's also important to make sure they're well fixed to the
door so that they won't fall off with time.
Think About Burglars
When fitting cat flaps it is also important to think about the security of your
house, and by careful positioning of the cat flap you will ensure that you do
not compromise the security in anyway. That's one reason why it's usually better
to place them at the bottom or almost at the bottom of the door, which also lets
your cat walk through them without jumping.
Although of course, nobody expects a burglar to shrink to the size of a cat and
use the door to get in, if cat doors were a bit higher, they could try to use
them to reach in and go for the handle.
Not Your Cat
By having cat doors in your house you are potentially allowing all the cats in
the neighbourhood to come in to your home, which may not be something you are
happy with. If you want to avoid this situation, you can do so by getting a cat
flap that is activated with a collar worn by your cat, thus making sure that it
will only open for your ct.
Normally working on a magnet, this means that the cat flap remains locked shut
if approached by another cat, but when your cat comes near, the magnet on the
collar releases the cat flap lock and he is allowed to pass through
cat flaps will let your cat come in and out as it pleases without your help. If installed properly, they won't represent a safety risk. There are even some cat doors that will only open for your cat.
