What Is A Cat Flap/Door?

Cats can enter and exit the house unhindered by humans thanks to cat doors or flaps, which are small apertures in walls or doors.

●The first cat flap was invented in the 17th century. The first cat flap was a small opening made in a door, with a size that is just enough for an averaged-size cat to enter and exit.

●It is common to see cat flaps that are made of plastic materials, but as cat flaps continue to become modern, there are also wooden and metal cat flaps or doors.

●Many cat flaps come equipped with a locking mechanism, which allows owners to control when their cats can enter and exit the house.

●Some cat flaps are designed to be “microchip-enabled,” meaning they only allow access to cats with a specific microchip implanted under their skin, providing added security and preventing other animals from entering the house.
