Does your cat wear a magnet for cat flap access .....?


What has he or she brought home with them or picked up in your home?

Kizzy has presented us with rusty nails and once a very long screwy thing.

She also gets stuck to the radiator and as she moves along it, we hear k-plunk, k-plunk, k-plunk.

Pip picks up cutlery - forks, knives and spoons ..... but the funniest thing is when they get stuck together.

Those magnets are really strong.

Does Pip adopt the innocent look whilst attached to cutlery? Mine have the 'no I haven't been licking out the yoghurt pot look' practiced to perfection- it loses something when there is a tell tale spoon dangling from their collar!

Stupidly or innocently (take your pick) I never thought about magnetic cat flaps being 'magnetic'.

Laughed at the thought of these poor cats attatching themselve to all these different things.

I can just see Kizzy bumping along the radiator

Our magnetic flap has "died" and lets everyone in and out with or without a magnet now. I thought perhaps the battery was exhausted, but OH has investigated and says there is no battery! Next door's Smoky Joe has been in several times and I want to put a stop to that before my two start spraying.

Definitely in the market now for a microchip one.

When my two had the magnets on their collars the funniest sight I saw was Chloe running backwards with her metal food bowl "chasing" after her... she was very nervous of eating for a while.

I now dont use the catflap so the magnets were taken off their collars. The magnetic cat flap is no use to me in my area so might look into the microchip ones.

Dylan has one of the everyday ones (opens when you push it open regardless) but we had to lock it because of the amount of prey Dylan was bringing back

Beauty never had a cat flap because she wasn't strong enough to be able to push one open.
