Cat flaps
Anyone got a recommendation for a decent through wall cat flap? Looks like replacement moggies are arriving shortly (previous psycho kitty[1] finally pegged it a couple of years back, and I never got around to sticking in a flap for it in this house). [1] its favourite form of human companionship was "bleeding". -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

They do various basic flaps, and stacking wall liners (50mm each) to extend reach as required. -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org My posts (including this one) are my copyright and if @diy_forums on Twitter wish to tweet them they can pay me £30 a post *lightning surge protection* - a w_tom conductor |

We have a *pair* like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-STAYWE...-/150561347382 One is set into the wall, and opens out into a tunnel built into the cupboard under the sink. The other flap is just inside the other end of the tunnel (and the cat had to duck under the door). Having two flaps really cut the drafts down. We didn't fit the second flap for about four months, and I had to push her through the tunnel (with my leg - longer than my arm) once to explain how the thing worked. Obviously she preferred a member of staff to open the door, but in their absence, would use the flaps fine. |
