We have had several months of having an issue with another neighbourhood cat coming into our home through our cat flap. We spent money on changing to a magnetic cat flap which didn't help at all because somehow the buckle on the other cat's collar became magnetised so it still gained entry to our home and the owner refused to change her cats collar! (Her cat doesn't have a cat flap). We read about this cat flap that works purely on your own cat's micro chip and decided that although this item is expensive, in the long term it would be cheaper than feeding other peoples cats. The neighbour's cat would come into our home when we were in bed, eat our cats food and sleep in our kitchen. The decision came about when we found the neighbours cat sleeping on our bed! Cats are a law unto themselves but this cat flap has ended our problem immediately. The hard part was ignoring the little face looking at us through the cat flap and crying to come in. It sat outside our door for hours just looking and meowing at us. It was tough but necessary because we were accused of taking their cat from them! We absolutely recommend this product and can assure anyone considering this item that it definitely works and is easy to program. The size is similar to other cat flaps so we were able to use the existing hole in our door. A first class product. Go for it.

It’s easy to setup and train your cat to go near it and having the advantage of microchip identification means her friends and frenemies can’t get in the house.

I was quite concerned about getting my cat in to read the chip as she is very nervous but it went so smoothly with a few cat treats. I am still waiting for it to be fitted but love the design so sure it will look fine.
