Cats are inclined to get irritated and grouchy when constantly kept inside, and not allowed to roam. Having a cat that is both physically and mentally fit, is one of the main positive aspects of giving your furry friend accessibility to world outside by means of a cat flap. If this sounds like a good idea to you, precisely what sort of cat flap should you put in?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole is cut in an external door and a bendable material is hung over the gap to give protection from the elements. Naturally, this is very basic, and won't be good enough for most cat owners in Rushden, who would no doubt favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their house, although it might be appropriate for a shed or outhouse door.

This basic model is still far from ideal as it allows other cats or animals to enter into your home, nevertheless it can be somewhat improved upon with the addition of magnetic strips to hold the flap in position.

Moving on from a basic magnetic strip are magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip styles of cat flap. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting an RF chip, IR or magnet. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your house unless it is equipped with this special collar. The drawback is that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that's got a similar model of collar could perchance get into your house when using this sort of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is an RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier that can be programmed by the home owner. An extra layer of security and control is achieved, guaranteeing that only your feline friend gets access.

Having a cat flap which can be triggered by your cat's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in access gadgets for felines in Rushden. The memory of these cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you've got several cats), to give exclusive access. When your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it unlocks and permits solely your microchipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

No matter which cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. For added flexibility, nearly all cat flaps feature a four way locking mechanism these days. This makes it possible for your cat flap to permit exit only, permit entry into your house only, be fully locked, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This provides you with options for all times of day and night, to have control over exactly how your cat flap functions. The facility to carry out different functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your cat's requirements is also a possibility with some of the higher end models of cat flap.

Installing a cat flap yourself can be pretty simple if you've got a solid wood door, and respectable do-it-yourself skills.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN RUSHDEN

Double Glazing Installation - If your new cat flap has to be mounted on a double glazed door or window panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them right away and show them the gate. New cat flaps can't be fitted into existing double glazing window or door panels. Making holes in your double glazing damages not just the security and strength of the panel, but it removes the insulating attributes too.
