If you decide to have a house cat you may want to consider investing in one
or two cat flaps depending on the size of your house. They are very practical
because they give more freedom to your cat while at the same time saving you the
trouble of opening the door every single time.
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.
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.
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
Pay attention; although burglars and thieves can't go inside your house using
cat doors, other cats in the neighborhood will have no problem whatsoever, and
you might not want that. 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.
These doors are locked by magnets, which are rendered inactive by the presence
of your cat's collar; however, they will keep the door shut even if another cat
tries to push it.
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.
