Rather like humans, when kept inside for long periods of time, cats will frequently show signs of frustration and anxiety. When allowed instant access to the great outdoors with a cat flap, your beloved cat has a much better chance of staying healthy and fit. Naturally, that isn't the end of the story, because there are many sorts of cat flaps, and deciding which one is best for you and your pet might not be so easy.

The most rudimentry kind of cat flap is essentially that. A sheet of bendable material fixed over a hole in a doorway to allow a cat to pass through, but keep the elements out. Most cat owners in Nairn would prefer something a little more weatherproof and secure for an exterior door to their house, although this may be suitable for a shed door or garden fence panel.

This standard design is still a long way from being perfect because it allows other cats or animals a means by which to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be improved on to some degree with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

A step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically controlled cat flaps. With these, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to leave or get into your house unless it's equipped with this special collar. The point that any other cat in the area that has a similar style of collar could perhaps get into your house, is the drawback with this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

The kind of cat flap that's can be operated by your cat's own microchip, is the next step-up in Nairn feline entrance security. You need to enter the details of your cat's microchip into the cat flap's memory (which is battery powered), and if you've got more than one cat it will accept multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be accomplished by micro-chipped animals, and the flap is unlocked whenever you cat is in the vicinity.

Whichever cat flap you buy, it should be capable of being locked in position. For added flexibility, almost all cat flaps boast a 4-way locking system nowadays. This allows your cat flap to enable entry into your property only, permit exit from your property only, be locked fully, or have 2-way entry and exit capability. This gives total control over the functioning of your cat flap both throughout the day and during the night time. A few top-end cat flaps can be programmed to carry out particular functions according to the time of day, in line with yours and your cat's needs.

If you have a timber door in your house in Nairn, putting in a cat flap yourself should not be that hard. But, if you are hoping to install it in a double glazed window or in a reinforced uPVC door, you must seek outside help. These kinds of fixtures require a professional installation by a reliable cat flap installer or handyman with the appropriate equipment and skills.

INSTALLING A CAT FLAP IN NAIRN

Double Glazing Installations - If your new cat flap is going to be mounted on a double glazing window or door panel, and your appointed "tradesman" endeavours to drill a hole in it, stop them straight away and give them the boot. New cat flaps can not be fitted into pre-existing double glazing window or door panels. Any kind of double glazing will be damaged by drilling a hole in it, and will damage its insulating attributes, strength and security. It should under no circumstances be attempted and will render the double glazing unsound.

It will be necessary to obtain a new double glazed pane made specially for this purpose by a glazing company, and your local Nairn cat flap installer will measure your existing unit and put in an order for a brand new one. To ensure that the cat flap can be perfectly installed into it, this new double glazing pane will arrive with a pre-cut hole as an integral part of its structure. This could take one or two weeks to manufacture, however it's basically the only way to install a cat flap in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door. When your new pane of glass is delivered, the fitter will remove the old unit, and exchange it for the brand new "cat flap ready" panel. The cat flap can then be put in.

External Wooden Doors - As stated earlier, solid wooden door panels are the easiest alternative in relation to installing a new cat flap on your property in Nairn. If you are a bit unsure of cutting a hole in your front door, you might be better off getting in touch with a professional cat flap fitter or carpenter instead. This should provide you with the peace of mind that you are going to finish up with a professionally installed cat friendly flap, and that the job has been completed correctly.

uPVC Door Panels - Cat flaps can generally speaking be fitted into uPVC doors. You or your fitter will have to find out what the internal construction of you door is, since for added security some uPVC doors are manufactured with a reinforced steel lining. A one piece panel enables simpler installation, so if you've got a slatted type uPVC door panel, it might be less expensive to replace the panel with a single panel type.

Wall Installation - It's also feasible to get a cat flap fitted in an outside wall of your home in Nairn, if you don't want to cut holes in your doors, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. This kind of installation is undoubtedly better left to the pros, because it requires considerably more skill and equipment to execute. Nearly all cat flap installations in walls are a basic straight tunnel style, but right angled access through a pillar is also possible. With this type of installation a metal or plastic, square open ended insert is fitted into a square hole neatly cut out of your wall. A cat flap can then be mounted on both ends of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Nairn - If you already have a cat flat, but it's either broken or not operating correctly, the current hole in your window, door or wall can still be used providing that the new cat flap is of a comparable size. Your cat flap fitter will be able to take off the unwanted cat flap, without damaging the wall, window or door, and fit a brand new flap for your cat.

When your cat flap installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in a double glazing panel, it will be essential to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fixing the new flap. The panel will have to be taken out and substituted to avoid any security and safety problems, if it becomes obvious this is not the case and a bodge job was made of the original installation.
