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 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.
You may need to consider having them fitted by a professional builder or
workman, depending on what your door is made of, as it is important to get a
good fit, to ensure that the cat door remains water tight, and is fitted in the
correct place
Careful with 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 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
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. 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.
