This uncomplicated model can be improved on a little with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in position, but it's still a long way from being perfect as it allows other cats or creatures a means by which to enter your house.

The next step up from the magnetic strip pattern are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. This requires that your cat wears a collar that's got either an RF chip, IR or magnet encased in it. Unless an animal is equipped with one of these special collars, it will not be able to trigger the flap and leave or get into your property, thus preventing some unwanted visitors. The fact that any other moggy in the neighbourhood that has a similar style of collar will be able to access your property, is the drawback with this kind of cat flap.
