a neighbours cat kept on coming in eating my two rescue cats food and beating them up. now it lies in wait outside and ambushes them when they go outside! but it cannot get inside anymore which is a sanctuary for my two cats now.........

I have two LaPerms and thought that Oli, the boy who is more confident, would get used to this very quickly and Lulu, the girl, would choose not to use it at all as she is very nervous. Well after three days of posting Oli through it, Lulu took the bait and now loves it. The freedom it has given her seems to have given her more confidence. Meanwhile a week on Oli dtill sits and waits to be posted through it! Although today he has gone out of it by himself! I have had a week of laughter watching them work it out but am delighted that within a week we are nearly there. The lock does click loudly so can take a while for less confident cats to get to grips with it, but is a good sturdy product and will stop the neighbourhood tom cat popping in through the open window my two used to use.

After around two years, the electronics in this have stopped working and the flap was locked shut for cats coming in - including ours. They could get out all right but not get back. I've had to use duct tape to override the catch. Also, the fiddly little manual lock can be knocked by cat paws and they have managed to set it to "out only" more than once. I'm now looking at Pet Porte reviews to replace this flap.

I have 4 cats and they will only go out the patio door. I have had the sureflap fitted into a glass patio door and it has been brilliant. Even though 2 of my cats are very nervious they soon got used to using the catflap. They now have the freedom to go in and out as they please but no other cats can get in

I have got a sureflap no problems for 18months now doesnt work. have changed batteries and cleaned unit.It now lets in the tomcat from next door which sprays everywhere am in despair HELP! My two cats are now nervous wrecks.Was thrilled with it at first although expensive!

Just recently we had a stray coming & eating all the food but no longer with the microhip cat flap. Firstly I programmed it to respond to the cats chips just to make sure it worked then it fitted perfectly into my existing cat flap hole. It is a bit of a squeeze for my 5kg very fluffy cat but he does manage ok. Wish these had been around years ago.

Got this cat flap after my cat was being beaten up in our house by a random neighbourhood cat that also had a magnetic collar allowing him entry through the old cat flap. Since installing this microchip flap George (the cat) is less stressed and more secure his home won't be invaded by other unwelcome moggies.

I was disappointed in this cat flap almost from the start. The closing mechanism slides sideways and can be knocked by a determined paw. I set on "in only" and my cat managed to change it to "out only" and lock herself out. After just over a year, the microchip locking mechanism failed and my cats couldn't get into the house. I tried first replacing and then removing the batteries but that didn't help. I've had to tape the catch open with duct tape, thus losing the advantage of a microchip flap! It's not a cheap item (although I think it's cheaper at zooplus than elsewhere). I'm looking to see if there is an alternative microchip cat flap to replace this one.

I decided on this model this after some research on electronic catflaps and after 2 months of use by 4 cats I am really pleased with this! It's sturdy and well built, battery operated (which avoids any unsafe cable mess), and the chip-reader mechanism is very reliable. The kitties are very happy with it too! Recommended.

What a fabulous idea! No more stray cats wandering into our house to eat our cat's food, plus we can now leave our cat for a few days safe in the knowledge that he can easily go and in out of the house.

Easy to fit - mine was in place of an older "manual" flap but detailed instructions are enclosed anyway. Our Molly gets through it with no problems not realising she carries her key under her neck skin! A really good buy.

This is so easy to use and is just great for our 9 month old cat. It's a good size and easy to fit. We have a UPVC bevelled back door and my hubby fitted it no problem. It also has a plastic transparent door which my cat likes to look through! We have a lot of cats in our area so it's reassuring that only our cat can use it and no others can get in. Would absoultely recommend.
