Stepping up from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red variations of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat must wear a collar boasting a magnet, RF or IR chip. Therefore any animal that does not have one of these special collars cannot leave or get into your house. The downside here is that any other cat in the Heathfield area that has a similar collar could perchance access your property with this type of cat flap.
