If you decide to have a house cat you may want to consider investing in one
or two cat flaps depending on the size of your house. Cat flaps take away the
need to get up and down to let your cat in, and make for a more peaceful life,
and a happier cat that enjoys his freedom.
However, they are complicated enough to install that you want a professional do
the job for you in order to ensure that the cat flap will be well installed and
that it won't let water in when it rains.
Think About Burglars
One of the important safety points to take into account is to make sure that the
installation of cat flaps won't make it easier for people to break into your
house when you're not at home. That why a lot of people prefer to place cat
doors in the lowest part of their doors, which also lets the car get in the
house by walking through it, instead of having to jump or climb.
While cat doors aren't big enough for burglars to go through them, if they were
installed in a higher location, they could be used by them to reach for the door
knob from inside and try to see if it opens.
Other Cats
Pay attention; although burglars and thieves can't go inside your house using
cat doors, other cats in the neighborhood will have no problem whatsoever, and
you might not want that. However, you can solve this problem by getting one of
the modern cat doors which includes a locking system that can identify your
cat's collar, allowing only it to come in.
These doors are locked by magnets, which are rendered inactive by the presence
of your cat's collar; however, they will keep the door shut even if another cat
tries to push it.
cat flaps will let your cat come in and out as it pleases without your help. If installed properly, they won't represent a safety risk. There are even some cat doors that will only open for your cat.
