Good to know
- Fit the flap so the bottom of the opening is at about the height of your cat’s belly.
- An existing double-glazed unit or toughened glass cannot be cut: a glazier needs to make a new pane with a hole.
- For a microchip flap, find your cat’s chip number on its vet records; use an RFID collar tag if the chip is not compatible.
Common questions
Are cat nets safe for balconies?
A net made for cats, properly fitted and checked regularly, is a widely used way to let indoor cats use a balcony. Choose bite-resistant mesh small enough that a cat cannot get its head through. If you rent, ask your landlord before drilling or fixing anything to the outside of the building.
How does a microchip cat flap work?
It reads the microchip implanted under your cat’s skin as the cat approaches and releases the lock only for chips you have registered on the flap. Other cats cannot get in. Most models also accept an RFID collar tag for cats without a compatible chip.
