I didn’t think my daft cat was going to get it but after almost 6 weeks he’s had a eureka moment and ‘by Jove he’s got it’! We have one cat on a special diet so now he’s learned which bowl is his and all going well. Great idea just give it time and they will get it eventually. Only one design flaw is when on trainer mode the light constantly flashes draining the battery and as with our stupid cat got through lots during that phase.

After training to get my cat used to being comfortable with the flap opening

Easy to install. Works well. It's a shame there doesn't seem to be a LARGE version available.

The little door works well.. It almost completely lacks instructions for setting the opening and closing times.. It doesn't show whether the cat has gone through and whether it's inside or outside..

The flap is well made, and the locking mechanism is relatively quiet too. Installation was easy. But one important note: The instructions assume that it never rains or storms. That's not the case for us. Before installing the external cover, you should definitely seal all around the cut-out in the door with silicone, otherwise, when it rains, water will flow into the wide gap between the external cover and the tunnel and then soak the door from the inside!

I bought one litter box from you, looks great. And I have one litter box with a closed back. That's perfect, the other cat can't get in.

I have a kitten and a 6-year-old ragdoll tomcat who I think might end up with a hernia eventually. I checked if they had larger sizes, but unfortunately not. Today is the first day, so I hope he’ll be able to stand at it better than he can now. Luckily, they both figured it out really quickly.

Happy with the end result even though getting there was a bit tricky. Order the mounting adapter straight away if you have metal in your front door, as the metal interferes with the chip reader. I first tried adding an extra air gap at the top, but eventually gave up and bought the adapter so I could cut a slightly taller hole in the door (I didn’t make it any wider). I also received a returned item, which would’ve been fair enough if I’d been given the choice myself or got an extra discount or something like that.

I’m writing this even though I don’t think you’re as silly as I am... I tried out the cat flap in my old house before moving and everything was fine. In the new place, as soon as I installed it on the glass door, I realised it stuck out too much and stopped the shutter from coming down. Even though it was clearly written not to drill or cut the cat flap, I did it anyway, and of course I ended up cutting the circuits and now it doesn’t work anymore (it doesn’t recognise the microchip).

I use this feeder for my 3 cats. They're great feeders! Good portioning for the food, easy to clean, easy to set up and the battery lasts ages. But: if you have multiple cats, it's not ideal. My other cat keeps pushing against the flap until it opens, so she can still get to the other's food, and it's easy to stick a head in from the side and nick some food... So for one cat I definitely recommend it! Not so much if you have more than one.
