Cat Flap Fitter Skelton

Cat Flap Fitter Skelton North Yorkshire (TS12): To give your cat the independence and freedom that it needs to live a life of contentment, you could install a cat flap to an exterior door or wall in your Skelton home. Cats are similar to people in a lot of ways, and will likely show signs of frustration and irritability if kept indoors for long periods of time without a break. When permitted instant access to the world outside with a cat flap, your cat has a far better chance of staying healthy and fit. So, you think it's a great idea, but which is perfect kind of cat flap for your beloved pet?

A cat flap at its most fundamental is merely that. A hole is cut in an external door and a flexible material is hung over the gap to offer a bit of protection from the elements. Obviously, this is really basic, and will not be adequate for most Skelton cat owners, who would prefer something a bit more weatherproof and secure for an external door to their home, although it may be okay for a shed door or fence panel.

This uncomplicated design is still a long way off being perfect since it allows other cats or animals to enter into your house, nevertheless it can be somewhat improved upon by adding magnetic strips to keep the flap in place.

The next step up from the magnetic strip model are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically operated cat flaps. With this form of cat flap, your cat will need to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal is going to be able to leave or get into your house unless it is fitted with this special collar. Again this is a fairly simple type of cat flap, since any other cat in the neighbourhood who's got a similar style of collar can easily gain access to your home. An upgrade to this equipment is an RF cat flap and collar system which provides a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

The next stage in feline entrance security is to fit the kind of cat flap that recognises your cat's microchip. The number of your cat's microchip is programmed into the memory of the battery powered cat flap (multiple entries can be made if you have more than one pet). The flap will be unfastened whenever your cat is close-by, only allowing entry or exit to pets that are microchipped.

When you're buying a cat flap, you should make sure that it is of a type that can be locked into position. These days, most cat flaps available on the market have a 4-way locking mechanism for extra security. This means that it's got the capability to be locked fully, enable entry into your premises only, enable exit from your property only, or be put in two way exit and entry mode. This offers you a variety of choices on exactly how your cat flap works at all times of the day and night time. The ability to perform specific functions according to the time of day, and in keeping with your pet's and your requirements is also an option with some of the top-end brands of cat flap.

If you are fairly decent at do-it-yourself, installing your own cat flap should not be all that difficult, as long as you have a solid wood door on your Skelton home.
