Once the cat infected from outside his head in the door, the bolt goes down. I have repeatedly observed and have to say it works flawlessly. Also I have watched as the raccoon has tried in vain to open the door from the outside. A beautiful sight is as goofy watched the stupid cattle :)
Some have criticized the small opening, my cat 4.5 kg presents no problems, but it should not weigh much more :)
So of miner side strong buy recommendation.
Addendum:
The raccoon looked only a short time stupid. This is simply too smart mistviech. After a short time he found out that he not press on the cover inwards, but probably can pull outward. Zack my kitchen was devastated again. I have the customer support of SureFlap called and who gave me a free Updgrade to another door. The new flap has before and after the flap a stop. Thus, the raccoon also no longer raise this from the outside. Problem solved. Great customer service!
So who buys a microchip cat flap to protect against raccoon please do not take this model but the two bars. In any case, the manufacturer SureFlap, thanks to the great customer support, highly recommended.
