A cat flap at its most fundamental is just that. A hole in a door with a bendable sheet of material placed over it, to keep the elements out, but let the cat pass through it.

Because this option permits other animals or cats to enter your home, it isn't at all ideal, though it can be improved on a little by holding the flap in place by adding a magnetic strip.

The next step up from the magnetic strip design are RF chip or infra-red, magnetically operated cat flaps. In this case, either a magnet, IR or RF chip will be fitted into your cat's collar. No animal will be able to access or leave your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. The point that any other moggy in the Prestwick area that's got a similar model of collar will be able to access your house, is the drawback with this kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be improved to some degree with an RF cat flap and collar system offering an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an added layer of security and control is established to make certain that only your purrfect companion gains access.

Choosing a cat flap which can be triggered by your pet's own micro-chip, is the next step-up in entry security for felines in Prestwick.

When your cat is in close proximity to the flap, it unlocks and permits just your microchipped pets to use the exit/entrance.
