Cat Mate Cat Flap with Timer Control

This is the third type of microchip flap that we've bought. The 1st one only worked when connected to mains power. The 2nd one would only open from the inside, so our cat was stuck outside. This cat flap keeps our little escape artist inside when it's locked. He had a bit of difficulty to start. The reader takes a short time to read the microchip before it opens the door. He is used to it now.

This cat flap does what it should. The manual makes installation and setup relatively simple. The flap opens for the right cats at the right time!

We have a wooden door with a metal core. This cat flap is the only one that offers an adapter frame, so it works with our door that has a metal core. As is well known, chip readers often have trouble reading chips when there’s metal in the door. We’ve been using it since last summer. The first set of batteries is still going strong according to the battery checker.

Works great.
