## Description

PERCT GIFT: The ureFlap Mhip Cat Door is a gat gift for pet lers and cat lover’s – making safe ses and hoes for ther cats. Thee Year Warnty.

Review: Cat thrilled with her independence - I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this product. I found the details helpful so I will be detailed. We installed the door in a 1" thick piece of wood cut to fit where an existing window was to the window well in the basement. This required no cutting into the house's siding or into a door. It is about 6" off of the ground from outside and that is perfect for the cat. It is 8 ft. up from inside the basement. Therefore, I cannot yet reach it until my husband installs steps or shelving to act as steps. First, a platform was built for the cat to step onto when coming inside. It is 12-15" deep and 2-3 ft. long so she is secure in stepping on it. Before installation, we played with her with the door to get her to go through. I got down on the floor with cheese on the other side to coax her to try it. I had to hold the door open a bit so she got the idea. After 2-3 days of this, she got leery and avoided the door, first by jumping over the wood it was installed in, and then by avoiding it altogether, even for her beloved cheese. We decided to stop the indoor training at that point. It took her a while, of being first set up on that high platform and holding the door open a crack to coax her out and then showing her how she could jump from chair to stool to platform before she would go up there by herself. We adopted this cat as a stray so she loves to go outside. Once she figured out that she had to stick her head through instead of trying to claw it open toward her, she learned to go out and seemed thrilled with her new independence. This took about 2 weeks. A week later, today, she finally came in. My husband had been standing down by the basement cat door, opening it with his finger and calling her to come in. For a while, she sat by the back door or scratched on the mat, as was her old habit. When it was really cold or raining hard, I let her in the regular door and my husband was sure that defeated the purpose of her learning to use her own door. Today, for some reason, she just came in by herself. At night, I don't think she has yet figured out that we are locking her in. However, she has been locked in for her own protection for the past 2 years since we adopted her. A 4 yr. old stray can be set in her ways. It is odd, because she now seems to like to stay in more, maybe because it is colder, but she also doesn't have that desperate look like she had to scoot between your legs to get out. I love her newfound independence. We'll see how the strip acts when dirty and how long the batteries last. We did not need that plate adapter because the wooden flat panel the door was installed in was thick and sturdy enough.
Review: Niiiice! - Well, took me a while to get this installed. But once we did, I am very happy with it. As the other reviews I read (either on desertcart or another site) said, the click is loud and can scare the cat. I was not expecting my cat to be frightened of this but she was. But after a day or two she was quite content with her door. There have been no other break-ins by other cats! We have had this occurrence a few times. Once or twice it was a cat fight inside the house, another was some cat eating my cat's food. Regardless, and probably stating this obvious, this has not been a problem since we installed this door. I love that it does not swing loose like our earlier cat door! In the winter, cold air just came drafting through the door. In the summer, the heat. Well, this is not the case with this; it is sealed around the edges with a little felt or something and this is definitely more energy efficient. Looks like we also had an unexpected perk; Flopsy, our kitty, apparently cannot get large birds or rats through the door... I believe her full mouth stops her head from getting all the way in so her chip cannot be read. Therefore, we get little moths or small (more manageable) mice. Believe you me, this is great; the amount of huge birds and rats she used to drag through her old door was not appreciated (yes, I KNOW they're gifts!). :) I do not know if this is true, it's just that since we installed the SureFlap, no huge birds or rats have been dragged in... If this changes, I will update this review but so far, so good (it's been about 6 months). The battery has run out a few times, or at least gone low, and, though I know this defeats the purpose, I tape down the little latch if I need to run out and get batteries (just in case it gets so low it stops working for Flopsy and she gets locked out). Love the feature that you can lock it three ways; only out, only in or completely locked. While my other door had this feature, that broke within a few months so it was just hanging loose. This one is very sturdy and has held up. We've had to lock her out when we were painting once and lock her in when we were getting some external concrete poured and it is a very sturdy little latch and holds up well. If you have a larger cat, I do not suggest getting this door; the opening is definitely smaller than our other cat flap. It is loud when it closes but I like this because I like knowing when my cat goes in and out. Others may not appreciate this. I do recommend this door though, makes me feel better about leaving my cat at home alone, knowing that other cats and animals will not get to her. :) Update: January 2015 - still no large birds or rats. Just small mice and birds. Ah, what can you do; it's in their nature. Still loving our SureFlap Cat Door. Been very cold as of late and it does keep the cold out. The felt or whatever it is has not worn out and overall, still very happy with this product. I was having an issue with the batteries draining way too fast (within days of replacing them!). I thought it was the batteries. I would tape the latch down for weeks at a time. I replaced one batch and there was a little battery juice (like the batteries had leaked). I did not clean the connections. So the next batch ran out really fast. So taped the latch down once again. I finally replaced that batch of batteries about 4 weeks ago. This time I look wipes and thoroughly cleaned the connections and the battery compartment and then waited until completely dry (I waited probably an hour or two) and then replaced the batteries. That fixed it; no more fast-draining batteries! Cool thing is that the door has a little light that flashes every 5 seconds when the batteries run low so I always know. I do not think it was the SureFlap Cat Door that was the problem; I believe it was a bad batch of batteries that leaked and then cause any other batteries placed in the compartment to run out fast. Regardless, if you ever have this problem, fully clean out the battery compartment before the next batch of batteries are used and see if this fixes it. Again, very pleased with this product and I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, with limitations
*by A***Z on March 30, 2025*

I knew what i was getting into. But it ended up being harder than i imagined. One of my cats took weeks to get used to it. Actually registering the chips was easy. That one cat of mine doesn't let me touch him but i placed food inside the door (before it was installed) and he came for it. Other cats i just pushed through the door. And i did have a cat door before that they used with no problem. Pros: - a drop in replacement for my previous dumb cat door (i think the dimensions can be found in other reviews, i forgot what they were) - does keep other cats away - failsafe in a way that cats can always get out of the house, even if batteries die or anything breaks. My cats are farm cats so outside is safer for them somehow. Cons - smaller than a dumb cat door with same outside dimensions. My 1yo cats barely get through. I will need a bigger door later on. - does not keep racoons out. None of these would, most likely. The one-way ones they just pull out the flap with their hands. The ones that control the in and out based on microchip, racoon would probably just break the door. They can bend thick metal wire, very strong. I understood that it would not keep racoons out, there's always catch and relocate option for them. You cannot relocate cats. - even a cat can break in with enough force. When i had it installed backwards (more on that below), a cat got in but could not get out until he rammed the flap open with his head and all the force he got. Surprisingly, the mechanism didn't break. - some cats will be afraid of the click it makes when it opens. There's also no way around it. I had to train one of my cats by installing the door backwards. He wanted out more than he wanted in, so in the end he conquered his fear. If you can take your cat ans push him or her through the door a couple times that would be the best.
