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. Cat flaps take
away the need to get up and down to let your cat in, and make for a more
peaceful life, and a happier cat that enjoys his freedom.
However, they are complicated enough to install that you want a professional do
the job for you in order to ensure that the cat flap will be well installed and
that it won't let water in when it rains.
Attention to Thieves
It's important to make sure that installing a cat door doesn't make it easier
for burglars to break into your house by uninstalling them or by any other
method. That why a lot of people prefer to place cat doors in the lowest part of
their doors, which also lets the car get in the house by walking through it,
instead of having to jump or climb.
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
Even if cat doors won't let burglars of thieves break into your house, the
neighborhood cats will have no trouble at all getting into your house, something
that you might want to consider. A simple way to get around this problem is to
have a cat flap with a locking system, which identifies the cat by a small tag,
added to his collar.
These cat doors normally are locked with the use of a magnet, in such a way that
any other cat will not be able to open the door, even if it pushes it, as the
magnets will hold it in place.
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.
