Cat Flap Fitter Scarcliffe

Cat Flap Fitter Scarcliffe Derbyshire (S44): An ideal way to give your cat more independence and enrich it's overally quality of life is to install a cat flap on an external door or wall of your property in Scarcliffe. Cats which are kept indoors, just like people, will show signs of irritation. Having a cat that's both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the benefits of allowing your cat accessibility to outside world with a cat flap. If you elect to go down the cat flap route, your next decision will be what type of cat flap would be best.

The most basic kind of cat flap, is simply that. A hole cut in a door with a flexible sheet of material hung over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat move through. Most cat owners in Scarcliffe would prefer something a bit more secure and weatherproof for an outside door to their home, although this may be okay for an outhouse or shed door.

This basic design is still far from ideal because it allows other creatures or cats to get into your home, however it can be improved upon with the addition of a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically controlled, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar fitted with an IR, RF chip or magnet.

The fact that any other moggy in the Scarcliffe area who has a similar model of collar can gain access to your property, is the downside with this still fairly basic type of cat flap. An improvement to this device is an RF cat flap/collar system which contains a unique identifier which can be programmed by the home owner.

This makes it possible for your cat flap to enable exit only, enable only entry into your house, be fully locked, or have two-way entry and exit functionality. This provides you with a range of options on how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. The facility to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and in line with yours and your pet's requirements is also an option with some of the more advanced models of cat flap.
