This simple design can be slightly improved upon with magnetic strips to keep the flap in position, however it's still a long way off being perfect since it enables other cats or animals to enter into your home.

Magnetically operated, infra-red or RF chip models of cat flap, are the next step up from the basic magnetic strip version. With these, either an IR, RF chip or magnet will be sewn into your cat's collar. What this means is that any animal that does not have one of these special collars cannot get into or leave your house. The drawback here is that any other moggy in the South Ockendon area who has a similar model of collar will be able to gain access to your property with this type of cat flap fitted. An upgrade to this product is an RF cat flap/collar system which features a unique identifier that can be programmed by the user. Only your furry friend gets access, thus adding an additional layer of security and control.

Having a cat flap that can be operated by your cat's micro-chip, is the next step-up in access devices for felines in South Ockendon. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or more microchip numbers (if you have more than one cat), to give exclusive access. The flap is unfastened anytime your cat is in close proximity, only allowing entry or exit to animals that have a micro-chip.
