SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Connect

Easy to instal, works as described. Our relatively small cats didn’t take long to learn to use it. It does click so if you have a cat who objects to snappy / clicking noises it might be an issue, but ours will sit next to us while we use power tools so it was no problem for them. Best of all, the big bad bully cat who kept coming in and terrorising ours is now kept out. Highly recommended.

Works just as described. All the cats got used to the feeders very quickly. All it took was putting their favourite pouch inside and letting them sniff it. They knew it was there, just had to figure out how to get to it. A couple of times they jumped when the lid opened, but their desire for their favourite pouch was stronger. There's no smell of food at all in the flat. I already have 3 feeders for cats on different diets (one tomcat on urinary, another tomcat on no special diet, and two cats on gastrointestinal).

I bought the SureFeed Connect without the hub at first because I wanted to get used to the feeder on its own. I got the hub a few weeks later (it’s definitely an investment!). Based on the reviews, I had a few concerns but the setup was easy. The hub is in my living room and the feeder is in the kitchen, about 8 metres apart, and it works well. We’ll see how it holds up over time. Perfect for knowing if and when the cat has eaten. However, don’t rely on the data for grams ingested.
