SureFlap Microchip Cat Door- White

Muy contentos con el producto nunca falla y nuestras gatas entran en casa sin problemas. A la vez siento que solo hace falta en el caso de que haya gatos potencialmente intrusivos. En nuestro caso nunca he visto un gato intentando entrar así que se podría haber comprado una gatera más barata.

Es la segunda que compro, mis gatos la usan todo el tiempo y es super facil de programar. Pero esta puerta gasta mucho las baterias, cada dos dias tengo que cambiarlas, son recargables y nuevas. Ya probe con las de la otra puerta y ocurre lo mismo.

I hate that it runs on batteries It works like a charm. I bought his cat flap to make a food enclosure for one of my cats, who likes to pick at dry food all day, because my other cat, who pigs out on her food, would never stop eating if not restricted to puzzle balls between meals. I made an enclosure out of plywood, 2x4s and galvanized mesh for air movement. Because the door only locks to let things IN, I flipped the door around and installed the "inside of house" portion on the inside of the enclosure. Getting my cat accustomed to the door was a challenge, since he never goes outside-outside -my cats have a DIY 9x9x9 chicken-wire completely enclosed structure (filled with catgrass and catnip plants ~_^) with tinted plastic roof panels for shade/rain protection and free access to it from the basement window, but they do not go out to roam the town-, and I had no reason to cat-flap-train him previously, but after a couple of weeks, he uses it on his own all the time, and has been for several months now. Overall, I'm very happy with my choice. It made feeding time stress (mine, probably the cats', as well) vanish completely, and fatty's diet seems to be working, now that she can't gobble all of skinny's food. I can't speak for how it works in it's intended application, but for what I bought it, it's a life-saver. As a bonus, my shelter chips all animals, so when I get another cat, if it, too, is a slow eater, the door can remember several chip numbers; programming is the push of a button, and the push of a cat (the latter of which is obviously the more difficult step ~_^) Positives - setting the memory of the flap was cake. push button, shove cat through hole.. Alternately, if you are in training phase, prop the door open, and hit the button while luring the cat through. only had to do it once before it worked, but I did it several more times just in case. Battery life seems pretty decent. I've had the same set in since I got it. Install was a breeze, seriously. Sturdy and quality materials. thusfar shows no sign of damage whatsoever Reads the microchip without problems, and I don't have to replace collar fob batteries (always a PITA) or screw around trying to figure out how to hang said fob so that it actually reads. Drawbacks Hair gets stuck over the sensor, as others have mentioned. if not caught quickly enough, some cats might get frustrated and stop using it entirely, or your pet might be stuck outside. I like to try to see him use it at least once a day to check how it's working, especially as this restricts his access to food. Can never be completely unlocked going both directions. This makes training a cat to use it a nightmare... Or it would.. I put tape over the lock part (it's a plastic bit that sticks up when locked) so the cat could get used to the loud clicking noise it makes when the lock engages or disengages. this would also be a good way to transition a cat from a non-automated door to this one, as the noise is rather loud, and must be even louder if your huge ears are right in the hole, as with a cat.

Très facile à installer, dimension idéale, ne fait pas bcp de bruit et mon chat a vite compris comment l'utiliser. Les chats indésirables ne rentrent plus chez nous. Si j'avais su, je l'aurais acheté plus tôt.

I'm new to owning cats and have two 5 month old kittens. I became desperate to have a flap fitted so they could come and go as they pleased and I could have the back door closed as to avoid pesky flies coming into the kitchen during the summer. I was intrigued by the design of Sureflap and I thought it was an excellent idea reading their chips. So far so good! The product is of robust construction and pretty nifty looking. My upvc door doesn't have a metal lining, just solid polystyrene, so there's no issue of interference with the optical scanner. What I would say is, take your sizes correctly if it's to be fitted to a upvc door with dressing panels. The unit only just fitted between the dressing and the border trim of my door. It couldn't have been any tighter to be honest. The unit is 21 cm by 21 cm, square shaped. The actual aperture is 14.5 cm wide by 12 cm high (that's with the flap being in the open position). It's not a great size if you have a beast of a cat, but as we all know, cats can make themselves quite slinky so I don't think you'd have problems unless your cat was ridiculously large! It's perfect for my two. At the moment. The male doesn't stop eating! But I really can't envisage any future problems. It was quite difficult getting them used to having the flap, however, presenting a bag of treats on the opposite side of the glass worked instantaneously lol. It is a little more expensive than other flap designs due to the technology of the product, but it's well worth the extra for the peace of mind that only my kittens can enter my house and they don't have to wear collars. The mechanical locking mechanism for the flap is genius! There are 4 settings on a rotary style lever. You can set it to locked closed in both directions, remain open for entry only but locked to go out, remain open for exit only but locked to come in and finally, locks off for both in and out. Well handy! I'm just wondering how long the batteries will last in reality but other than that, I can't fault the thing. Top product!
