Stuck Paws and Escape Artists
We've had our Sureflap for around 6 weeks. It works fine and our cats can come and go as they please. However our cat got his paw stuck in the flap recently, which was pretty horrible. He must have put his paw through, changed his mind and then pulled it back. He obviously panicked which made things a lot worse and squashed his paw. When my partner and I tried to free him his paw got squashed more. After much hysterics I managed to hold the catch down from the inside (putting up with lots of biting, srcatching and howling) while my partner pushed the door from the outside.This set our cat free. It would be interesting to hear if anyone else has had this problem. ?
In addition my other cat managed unlock the unit. The lock was turned to the open position, I presume with his teeth, enabling him to escape in the middle of the night. We were quite astounded at this. Has anybody else experienced this or do we have a master escape artist on our hands?
