If you have a a cat, then you might want to consider installing a couple of
cat flaps in your house, specially if you get more than one. Cat flaps take away
the need to get up and down to let your cat in, and make for a more peaceful
life, and a happier cat that enjoys his freedom.
However, they are complicated enough to install that you want a professional do
the job for you in order to ensure that the cat flap will be well installed and
that it won't let water in when it rains.
Careful with Burglars
It's important to make sure that installing a cat door doesn't make it easier
for burglars to break into your house by uninstalling them or by any other
method. The standard placement for them is near the bottom of the door where
your cat can walk through without having to jump up and balance on a ledge.
While cat doors aren't big enough for burglars to go through them, if they were
installed in a higher location, they could be used by them to reach for the door
knob from inside and try to see if it opens.
Other Cats
Even if cat doors won't let burglars of thieves break into your house, the
neighborhood cats will have no trouble at all getting into your house, something
that you might want to consider. However, you can solve this problem by getting
one of the modern cat doors which includes a locking system that can identify
your cat's collar, allowing only it to come in.
These doors are locked by magnets, which are rendered inactive by the presence
of your cat's collar; however, they will keep the door shut even if another cat
tries to push it.
cat flaps will let your cat come in and out as it pleases without your help. If installed properly, they won't represent a safety risk. There are even some cat doors that will only open for your cat.
