Cats are very similar to people in many ways, and will sometimes show signs of frustration and unease if kept inside for lengthy periods of time without a break. When your precious cat is permitted instant access to the outside world by way of a cat flap, there is a far better likelihood of it staying both physically and mentally fit. If this seems like a good option for you, precisely what form of cat flap should you put in?

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A bit of bendable material hung over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through, but keep out the elements. Obviously, this is very basic, and will rarely sufficient for most Guisborough cat owners, who would doubtless prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an outside door to their home, although it could be okay for a garden fence panel or outhouse door.

This standard model can be marginally improved on with a magnetic strip to keep the flap in place, however it is still a long way off being ideal as it allows other animals or cats to enter into your house.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be enclosed in your cat's collar. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your home unless it's equipped with one of these special collars. Again this is a pretty basic kind of cat flap, given that any other cat in the Guisborough area who's got a similar collar might be able to access your property. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap/collar system providing a user programmed unique identifier.

A model of cat flap that's able to identify your cat's microchip, is the next stage in feline entry security. You need to enter the number of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. Whenever your cat is close to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your microchipped pets to enter or exit.

Regardless of what cat flap you buy, it should have the ability to be locked in place. For extra security, nearly all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking mechanism nowadays. This means that it has the capability to allow admission into your premises only, enable exit only, be fully locked, or be put in two-way entry and exit mode. This will provide you with a range of solutions on how your cat flap operates at all times of the day and night. The ability to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, and in line with your pet's and your requirements is also an option with some of the more expensive brands of cat flap.

If you are pretty good at DIY, putting in your own cat flap should not be that difficult, as long as you have a wooden door on your home in Guisborough.
