Cat Flaps Make For Happy Cats

 

If you have a a cat, then you might want to consider installing a couple of cat flaps in your house, specially if you get more than one. Cat flaps are popular because they let you continue doing what you were doing without having to interrupt it just because your cat wants to go out again.

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

One of the important safety points to take into account is to make sure that the installation of cat flaps won't make it easier for people to break into your house when you're not at home. 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.

While cat doors aren't big enough for burglars to go through them, if they were installed in a higher location, they could be used by them to reach for the door knob from inside and try to see if it opens.

Other Cats in the Area

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.

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.
