Basically, for cats with the chip PetPorte and SureFlap in question. The idea is that the implanted chip is to let only pass the own cat. While the SureFlap the antenna is integrated in the tunnel, this is at the PetPorte outside the door. This is favorable in doors with metal insert.

Both valves have a relatively weak mechanism. The SureFlap was broken up at me from another cat from the outside. The chaos that left 2 fighting cats in an apartment, you can imagine.

As cats can break a cat flap, you can watch videos on Youtube. Influenced by this experience, I have the PetPorte looked at very closely.

The interior is accessible once the battery or the AC adapter are connected. The locking mechanism is significantly undersized and cheap. In corresponding experiments on my part, the door was forced open easily. This has probably recognized the manufacturer because the product is accompanied by a warning that the cat flap to be constantly monitored in order to prevent the entry of foreign animals. Since it does not help that can find promotional videos, after which the flap blows of a hammer endures.

Facit: brilliant idea but poor construction.

My desire cat flap should be controlled by a transponder chip, have either AC or battery power, be of robust construction, have a standardized size for later replacement, and not least a certain thermal insulation.

At the manufacturer: a lot of fun designing and the quality management! Thanks to Amazon for easy withdrawal.
