Cats are quite like people in a lot of ways, and will often start to show signs of irritability and frustration if kept indoors for lengthy periods of time. Giving your cat easy access to world outside with a cat flap can also help in keeping them mentally and physically fit. So, you're sold on the idea, but exactly what is best style of cat flap for your precious pet?

The most basic type of cat flap, is simply that. A hole is cut into a door and a bendable material is fixed over it to give a bit of protection from the weather. Though this may be acceptable in a fence panel or shed door, the majority of cat owners in Chester-le-Street would favour something a bit more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property.

Since this solution allows other cats or creatures to enter your property, it's not at all ideal, though it can be enhanced a little by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

Magnetically controlled, RF chip or infra-red designs of cat flap, are a step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar featuring a magnet, RF or IR chip. This means that any animal that hasn't got a special collar cannot leave or get into your property. The drawback here is that any other cat in the neighbourhood who has a similar style of collar could perhaps get into your property with this kind of cat flap installed. An upgrade to this device is a RF cat flap and collar system which includes a unique identifier which can be programmed by the home owner.

Having a cat flap which can be operated by your pet's microchip, is the next step-up in entrance gadgets for felines in Chester-le-Street. The microchip number is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you've got more than one cat). Exit and entry can only be achieved by microchipped pets, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is nearby.

When you are buying a cat flap, you should make certain it's of a type that can be locked. Most cat flaps sold these days boast a 4-way locking system.

This gives you choices for all times of night and day, to control precisely how your cat flap works. Some of the top-end models can be set to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your pet's requirements.
