Neighbor's Cats Using Our Cat Flap!

Weekly Expert Pet Advice
with Dr. James Glover, Resident Expert

  
   

Please can you advise how can I stop other cats coming through our cat flap and invading our cats' territory and eating their food? (Amanda Lear, UK)

Many cat owners have experienced this phenomenon at least once in their lives, and more often than not these visits are more unwanted than wanted by both the owners and the resident cats. 

The only effective method to both stop this immediately and have long-lasting effect is to install an electromagnetic cat flap. This works by only allowing cats who are wearing an electromagnetic "key" on their collar to open it. Cats who don't have this won't get in!
