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.
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.
Cat flaps are not considered to be big enough for a burglar to be able crawl
through, but obviously they are a good size for a potential thief to get his
hand through and gain access to your keys if you leave them dangling in the
lock, or close by on the side
Other Cats in the Area
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. If you want to avoid this situation, you can do so by getting a cat
flap that is activated with a collar worn by your cat, thus making sure that it
will only open for your ct.
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.
