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

Product Information

We've only had the cats since May, I'm not sure how the girls are going to feel about being locked in at 4pm in December! No hassle for the cats to use, they climb into the tunnel and it unlocks the flap as their head gets to that end. We have the one with an app you can lock remotely but it has been the most expensive pain in the ass contraption ever. The cat flap has a green light that appears when a chip is read successfully, and the LED light will also indicate when the battery is running low.

Many cats will graze on their food throughout the day but for those cats who have set mealtimes, they might be a bit put out if there is a delay in their food being served.It’s extremely energy-efficient, with two magnetic closing points that increase insulation and act as a draught excluder. We currently block off the cat flap at night by putting something in front of it but it does mean we need to have both cats in first. This puts them at a huge advantage over a normal, non-chipped flap – particularly if your cat is being bullied or you have a greedy, six-dinner Sid living nearby. The cat flap can be programmed for up to 32 cats and is powered by four AA batteries that should last up to a year. nThis may vary slightly depending on the payment method, availability, your location and public holidays.

Encourage them to scent mark the flap or take a cloth, wipe it around their face and then wipe over the cat flap. However, this flap is marginally slower to open than some others and this may take your cat a little while to get used to, so be patient.The PetSafe cat flap comes with a cutting template to help with fitting, but note that for doors made of metal, glass or PVC, or to put the cat flap in a brick wall, you will need to purchase the PetSafe installation adapter and tunnel extension. They immediately send a dual scan one out to me The cat flap is locked both ways You can change the settings though. If you are there then surely you'll check the cats are in and then lock the cat flap, and if you aren't there you don't want it to lock itself incase the cat is outside.

The chip can then be read by a portable scanner, should your cat ever go missing and end up at a vet practice.With the Sure app you can set curfews when they are locked in/out, and also just stop them by pressing a button on the app. Cat flaps in general are a godsend for those of us who are servants to moggies, meaning we don’t have to get up and down every five minutes to let a cat in or out through a window or door. Each tunnel extender adds five centimetres to the overall length of the tunnel and you can stack them together to create a tunnel of any length. Cat flaps can be installed into doors, windows and walls, although not all cat flaps are suitable for all materials. I think you need to do a bit more reading before you start advising people on their cats safety, because problems with collars causing injury and death are not few and far between.
