With several different types of cat flaps to choose from, choosing the right one for you and your cat can be challenging. That's why we've taken the time to detail each option below. They are as follows:
Manually-Operated – This is a basic cat flap. It opens with ease when your cat pushes against it. This type of cat flap permits all cats that try to use it, making it challenging to prevent stray cats from entering your home. So this cat flap may not be ideal if many cats are around.
Magnet & Infra-Red Operated – This cat flap uses a magnet or infrared device to operate. The device is attached to your cat’s collar, and when the collar is in range, the device unlocks the flap for your cat to access. These flaps can prevent unwanted cats from coming and going.
Microchip-Operated – Operated by your cat’s microchip, this cat flap is suitable for homes with multiple cats. These flaps can even read several different microchips.
