Why it matters
This flap opens only for Cat Mate collar magnets (two included), so other cats stay out. A 4-way lock covers in and out, in only, out only, or locked.
A brush-sealed flap with magnetic closure and a rain seal keeps weather out. It self-lines up to 60 mm (2 3/8 in) for UPVC, metal or wooden doors and walls.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if

Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat's widest point and the door or wall thickness before cutting; check the cut-out size on the maker's template.
- Use breakaway collars and keep spare magnets.
- Prop the flap open for the first days and reward your cat for using it; most cats learn within a week.
