Very happy with our Cat Flap
This Cat Flap detects his microchip in his neck & the dial is easy to understand. It took our Caesar 24 hrs to get used to it. Disappointed that the extra collars come at an additional cost; it doesn't come in the box!
I ordered the additional part to have it fitted in our double glazed door & for a fee of £160 our local glazing company had our glass cut and it fitted within 2 weeks.
I should have ordered the one with the auto timer to save getting up to change the dial, but I am happy.

Very good but not for big cats
This is a very good product but do note the size of the opening. Our cat is medium sized and fits through well but not a lot of room to spare. Following the fitting instruction about placement helps, belly height. We only have the one cat so expect the batteries to last for many months. Very good but not for big cats.

Great door - may need time for cats to adjust
My two cats - who were both used to using cat doors - hated the clicking sound of the lock and refused to use the door at all. We disabled the microchip reader and it still took a week of treats to encourage them through it. After another week, they were coming and going without hesitation. We then re-introduced the microchip reader, but with an additional time delay before the door locks, and they are both using it without any problem. Our intruder can no longer enter to steal food and sleep in our lounge! Great door. Love the curfew mode.

Surefeed update
I now have 2 of this little gems. Stringer has his on a 4 inch high stand to make it easier for him as he is tall, I have also added the RFID tag to help him open the feeder as his microchip does not always work due to his size. So now he is happy and only he eats his food. Dylan and Molly are also happy with the other feeder and have tags on their collars for ease. With a little ingenuity you can make these work for big cats, very happy customer! (See photos)

Brilliant product
I have 2 large cats, the pet door is the perfect size. We've been having a neighbourhood cat coming in and spraying all over the house and making my cats very nervy and jumpy, since fitting this new door I am delighted to say that my house no longer smells of cat pee and both my cats now use the flap with no problems, after one of them being scared by the loud clicking sound initially after a few days he was fine. We'll worth every penny!

Perfect. Simple to set up, simple to use. Love it!
This cat flap really is fab! I was worried about putting a hole in the door but the instructions are spot on and it was very easy to fit.
It still fascinates me each time our cat comes in using it. I taught him to use it within minutes by encouraging him to go through with his fave treat before we actually fitted it. Then used the manual mode twice before putting in the batteries. Worked a treat! Thank you so much for such a great product!

Absolutely Brilliant
This is a lifesaver for me. I have a fat Maine Coon who weighs over 11kg and needs to be on a diet, unfortunately his brother likes the diet food too and wolfs it all down and as it is very expensive this is not good. To date I have had to feed the diet food and watch while he eats then pick it up. As cats are grazers this is not working well for any of us and I cannot leave food down whilst I am at work all day.
This little device is fabulous, Stringer picked it up straight away and was not nervous at all. It saves me getting up and down and stops Dylan eating all the diet food. I am now going to purchase another one for my other 2 Maine Coons so their food is safe from Stringer.The only slight problem is as the Maine Coons are tall they have to stoop right in to open the lid, a larger version for big cats and Spaniel size dogs would be great, surely dogs have this problem too? I am still giving 5 stars though as it is a fantastic product.

Sure flap is it the cat or the cat flap
I have a one year old Tom cat and we have only just purchased this flap, had it installed in an aluminium door by professional installers. When in learning mode the red led flashes once per second, the cat has gone out/in as we leave the rotary selector for both ways. As the cat goes out the led repetitions increase, I presume that the reason for this is that the flap has picked up the cats micro chip. I then push the button once, this brings the lock up allowing the cat to go out, but only come in if the chip on the cat is sensed, opening the lock and allowing the cat entry. However I can never tell if it's working properly as when I get up the cat is out and cannot seem to get back in or isn't trying very hard. He passes through the flap both ways in learning mode but that leaves the flap open to other cats as well. I have reset the system several times now with no success. Still not sure if it's the cats chip or the cat flap or just me the operator.

Update, still excellent..
This is so good I now have four. Just to let you know that if you have any issues or queries with the feeder you can contact the very helpful customer service, there's also a forum too with questions and answers. For the owner with the issue of another cat trying to steal food, there is a way of setting up the feeder so it closes when another cat puts its head in, even if the allowed cat is eating at the time. Useful if you want to be absolutely sure a greedy cat isn't eating a prescription diet.

Best Cat Flap Ever
all I can say is I love it and it works on the animals microchip which is really useful as my older cat keeps losing her collar so a collar tag is useless for her. I also use the timer so both her and I know that once shes back after curfew shes locked in until it releases automatically in the morning at the time I set. No more waking up in the morning on Sundays to let her out!!!! yipee.
