This basic model can be to some degree improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in position, however it is still a long way off being ideal as it enables other cats or animals to get into your property.

A step up from the magnetic strip design are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting an IR, RF chip or magnet. What this means is that any animal that hasn't got one of these special collars cannot leave or access your house. Once again this is a pretty basic type of cat flap, because any other cat in the Guildford area who's got a similar model of collar may be able to get into your house. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system containing a user programmed unique identifier.

The next stage in feline access security is to use a cat flap that recognises your cat's microchip. The number of your cat's micro-chip is entered into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries are possible if you have more than one cat). The flap will be unfastened when your cat is in the vicinity, only allowing exit or entry to animals that are microchipped.
