Give Your Outdoor Cat a Key to Your House with a Microchip Cat Flap

We regularly look for innovative cat products. Here’s one we found interesting:
What is it?

If you have outdoor cats (mine prefer to just stare longingly out the window from a comfy chair), a cat door might be something you’re considering. Some people are a bit nervous about installing cat flaps because of what else might enter the house (other animals, neighbourhood cats, and so on…).  The SureFlap microchip cat flap detects a microchipped cat’s chip and unlocks the door for your cat(s) only.  It opens as soon as your cat puts his or her head in the doorway and locks immediately after the cat has entered the door.

Some Fast facts about the microchip cat flap: 

        
The system can store up to 32 microchip numbers so it’s even suitable for the crazy cat lady! I’m told that once you have 3 cats, that qualifies you. Thankfully, I only have 2. So far…)
  • ·         You can mount it on a door, wall, or on glass
  • ·         It’s easy to install
  • ·         You can install it in place of an existing cat door
  • ·         It takes just a few minutes to program
  • ·         It is battery operated and batteries last about a year (you might choose to change batteries in it whenever you change your smoke detector batteries)
  • ·         Sureflap offers a 2 year warranty
  • ·         You can purchase tunnel extenders if you are installing in more than a standard door or window.

Cat Drops Socks Throughout the House

Dear Girl Kitty,
Why for you drop socks all over the house and make funny yowl when you do it? Are you showing me your indoor cat hunting skills? Are you sad that you can't have baby kitties so are carrying imaginary ones?   Sometimes it's clean socks, sometimes it's dirty ones. Does it upset you when I take them away?

(Any other cat keepers out there have this issue? )
