Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Digital Timer & LCD Display for up to 9 Cats, White

Product Information

What’s more, it can be installed in most doors, as well as walls and glass panels with the relevant adapter. Our new cats are completely black so I'm a bit more nervous about them being out after dark compared to our last cat. Disclaimer: Sure Petcare products are not intended to diagnose, cure, treat or prevent diseases or conditions and does not replace veterinary care. The cat flap is extremely easy to programme and uses a simple four-way locking system: Unlocked, In Only, Out Only and Locked.

Try to install your cat flap into a wall, door or window that opens out onto an enclosed or sheltered space. We have the one with an app you can lock remotely but it has been the most expensive pain in the ass contraption ever. Instead of making a sudden change, change the times gradually over a week or two leading up to the clock change. This would make the collar activated flap a bit unreliable and one could easily get accidentely locked out. It can be installed in doors, windows and walls, although you may need some accessories such as tunnel extenders.I am looking for a flap with a simple timer mechanism which locks the flap to "in only" after a certain time in the evening and reopens it in the morning. There’s also a four-way manual lock to secure the flap and override the microchip lock if necessary.

Expect to calculate between two to six centimetres more than the stated dimensions and around five centimetres in depth. The panel also displays location indicators for up to 3 selected cats so you can see whether your cat is currently at home or out and about. but the problem is each cat needs to wear a chip, my cats don't have colars, so it is no good for me. You are right - some of the 1- star reviews say the cat has trapped its foot in the flap which is obviously worrying.As an aside, I really think there is a niche in the market for a CHEAP timer catflap with no other bells and whistles (eg no microchip recognition, no collar tag recognition etc). Cat flaps can be installed into doors, windows and walls, although not all cat flaps are suitable for all materials. If you have no choice but to install it in an open space, try to position objects around the cat flap such as plant pots. This means you can keep specific cats inside – for instance, if they have a dreaded vet appointment and you don’t want them sneaking off – while the rest of your feline clowder can keep going in and out at will. I’m a lover of the Sureflap connect as it works on their chips and I have full control via the app with a curfew mode or manual locking/unlocking.

My catflap is already switchable to one way (they can get in but then not go back out until I switch it back in the morning). Those of us who are already servants to our feline overlords might be laughing at the idea that you can train a cat to do anything. Nope they don't, i have had bad experiences with collars and found even safety ones to be dangerous.The cat flap is draught- and weatherproof, thanks to its stable, high-quality polymer and brush-sealed flap. No hassle for the cats to use, they climb into the tunnel and it unlocks the flap as their head gets to that end. That is exactly what my clever cat does, gets a claw underneath then gradually pulls it up until she can get a paw under thrown lift it properly.
