Give your cats the key to their home with the Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control. This smart pet door from Cat Mate uses your pets' unique microchips or Pet Mate I.D. Discs (available separately) to grant them entry, giving you the peace of mind that a wild animal or next door's moggy won't poke its nose in where they aren't wanted! In order to save battery, the Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer Control only scans your pet and unlocks when your pet starts putting pressure on the flap. Encourage your pets to push against the flap by putting treats on the rim and the other side of the clear flap. Feline friends like to think they rule the roost, and this microchip pet door will give them the independence to let themselves in and out - with you having ultimate control, thanks to the four-way lock system. You can also use the timer function to set a night-time curfew. Microchips are now compulsory for cats, so microchip cat flaps are perfect for safely allowing your cats to adventure in the great outdoors. This cat flap gives exclusive entry to your pet's unique microchip or Cat Mate I.D. disc (sold separately). You can set the 4-way lock to allow in and out, in only, out only, or locked. The LCD display shows the lock status, cat location, and the time the flap was last used for up to 3 cats. Set the timer to control when you want the flap to lock and unlock. The brush sealed flap keeps out draughts and rain to keep your home cosy. It's suitable for up to 9 small- to average-sized cats.
