Common Types of Cat Flaps With the application of modern technology, cat flaps have already evolved from a mere piece of wood flap into a high tech microchip powered electronic mini door for felines. These tech savvy doors can be selective in nature because they detect the implanted microchip inside the pets themselves as key to unlock the flap.

Similarly, using electromagnetic collars that cats wear, magnetic flaps are able to detect that a particular feline must be allowed entry into the house. Other cats will not be able to access the door much easily. There are also infrared enabled flaps that use the technology to automatically lock or open the mini door.

Some simpler cat flaps have a weighted design. However, this would also mean that there’s a tendency for it to be blown open by the wind. There are also several flaps with adjustable catches, which restrict the flap from opening on two sides (only opens from one side). This will enable the pet owner to dictate if he will allow his pet to go inside only and not go outside or vice versa , by using the adjustable catches on the cat flaps.
