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. They are very practical because they give more freedom to your cat while at the same time saving you the trouble of opening the door every single time.
You may need to consider having them fitted by a professional builder or workman, depending on what your door is made of, as it is important to get a good fit, to ensure that the cat door remains water tight, and is fitted in the correct place
Think About Burglars
When fitting cat flaps it is also important to think about the security of your house, and by careful positioning of the cat flap you will ensure that you do not compromise the security in anyway. 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.
Cat flaps are not considered to be big enough for a burglar to be able crawl through, but obviously they are a good size for a potential thief to get his hand through and gain access to your keys if you leave them dangling in the lock, or close by on the side
Other Cats in the Area
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. If you want to avoid this situation, you can do so by getting a cat flap that is activated with a collar worn by your cat, thus making sure that it will only open for your ct.
These cat doors normally are locked with the use of a magnet, in such a way that any other cat will not be able to open the door, even if it pushes it, as the magnets will hold it in place. - 29953
