This standard model can be improved on with a magnetic strip to hold the flap in place, but it's still far from ideal as it enables other creatures or cats to enter your home.

Moving on from a magnetic strip are magnetically operated, RF chip or infra-red models of cat flap. With this kind of cat flap, your cat will have to wear a collar boasting a magnet, IR or RF chip. No animal is going to be able to access or leave your property unless it's fitted with one of these special collars. The point that any other moggy in the area that has a similar model of collar will be able to get into your home, is the drawback with this still fairly basic kind of cat flap. Even these cat flaps can be enhanced to some extent with an RF cat flap/collar system containing an owner programmed unique identifier. With this, an added layer of security and control is established to make sure that only your purrfect companion gains access.

The next step-up in feline entry security is to choose a model of cat flap that identifies your pet's micro-chip. You need to enter the unique number of your cat's microchip into the memory the cat flap (which is battery powered), and if you have several cats it will accept multiple entries. Exit and entry can only be accomplished by microchipped pets, and the flap is unfastened when you cat is in the vicinity.
