About this deal

Suitable for installation in doors, windows or walls with the correct adapters, the cat flap comes with a fairly simple installation guide. You only get one collar and magnetic key in the box, but you can buy more separately if you have multiple cats. Some can even be set to ensure your cat can’t come and go as they please. Maybe you’d rather they didn’t go out between 11pm and 6am? But that they’re still allowed to come in if they’re out beyond midnight? Outdoor cats love exploring. But you can’t always be there as and when they ordain themselves to come inside for TLC. A good option is to install a cat flap. It reads the chip to keep uninvited guests out, but this isn’t all the hub can do. It can monitor their activity, and notify you of any changes in their behaviour such as a difference in timings or spending longer outside. You also get intruder alerts when another animal has attempted to get in, which could signal the behaviour patterns.

Ease of use is also important for this reason. If you don’t want your cats going out after 8 pm, the worry of them getting out because you couldn’t work out how to set the cat flap could cause a lot of grief. As for fitting, there are professionals out there who can fit a cat flap but many can be done by yourself if you have the right tools. Proper fitting is key to ensure a working cat flap and a fit that doesn’t let in air or rain. READ NEXT: The best cat toys to buy The best cat flaps you can buy in 2023 1.

Make sure you install it at a suitable height for their legs. Do make sure that your cat’s microchip is one that’s recognised by the cat flap you choose. Some older microchips and foreign chips may not work with a microchip cat flap. Where should I install my cat flap?

It’s suitable for use on any door, simply using adhesive tape and strong screws to fix into place. Finished in high-gloss white, the door is also paintable if you want to change the colour to blend in with your existing door. And, with no flap to push open, it should be simple for every cat to master. With a microchip cat flap, your cat will feel secure in its own home, safe in the knowledge that the neighbour's cat can't get in to steal its food, spray in its territory or invade its space! It is also a great option if you are often away from home or at work for long hours, allowing your cat necessary freedom to come and go. If you’ve got more than one cat, the Dual Scan from Sure Petcare could be just the cat flap you’re looking for. It works with both microchips and the SureFlap RFID collar tag but allows you to programme it for individual cats. If you have more than one cat, DualScan technology lets you set exit permissions for each cat, and up to 32 are remembered. You can fit it in a door, wall or window, and the batteries should last around six months.Microchip identification flaps are often thought of as the best option for keeping unwelcome moggies out of your home. But they’re also great if you want your cats to come and go as they please, or if you want to prevent one going out but not the others. Microchipping your cat by inserting a tiny chip into your pet is one of the easiest ways to keep it safe. The chip can then be read by a portable scanner, should your cat ever go missing and end up at a vet practice. It’s not harmful to the cat and takes very little time. There is no need to worry about uninvited guests either, as many cat flaps have microchip scanners and timers which will ensure Fluffy from next door isn’t found kipping on your bed when you get home from work. A microchip cat flap can also ensure that if you have several cats, ones that can’t go out aren’t allowed. Not only will your cat be able to come and go as they please, but you won’t have to keep a beady eye out for them either. A cat enclosure, or catio, could be ideal if you are happy to leave a window open but not let anything other than your cat in.

Try to install your cat flap where it will lead to a sheltered area. Most cats don’t like to be exposed to open spaces and might hesitate to use a cat flap that leaves them feeling vulnerable. If you have little choice, try to create a sheltered area around the cat flap using boxes, plants, etc.The best microchip cat flaps you can buy in 2023 1. Cat Mate 360W Microchip Cat Flap: Best for those on a budget Prop the cat flap open with a peg or strong tape. Give your cat time to get used to going in and out through the hole and lower it slightly over time so that they have to start pushing it a little. If your cat is reluctant to use the flap, try enticing them through with their favourite treats.
