Using the 4-way lock
The 4-way lock allows you to control your cat’s access in and out of
your home.
It is a good idea not to use the 4-way lock until your pet is thoroughly
familiar with using the door. Your pet may become confused as to why you
have installed it (Fig. 9).
Training your cat to use the cat flap
Most cats will learn to use the cat flap almost at once but there are a few who
may be a little nervous at first. The following tips will help your pet to take full
advantage of the outdoor freedom and indoor comfort – which you want for
your cat – and which your new cat flap provides.
The most important rule is to be patient with your cat. Don’t be in a hurry. Let
your cat work out for itself that it can go in and out of doors. Don’t force it
through the flap or it may become frightened.
Many cat owners install cat flaps when they move house. If this applies to
you, make sure that your cat is familiar with his or her surroundings before you
fit the cat flap. Take it on supervised trips outdoors on a lead and make sure
it also feels secure and comfortable in its new indoor environment. Cats can
develop long lasting fears in unfamiliar surroundings.
Once you have installed your cat flap, leave the flap open for some time.
You can do this by using a long strip of masking tape; open the flap and use
the tape to keep it held open by fixing the other end of the tape to the surface
above. Make sure that the fixing is secure so that the flap can not fall down
accidentally. Let your cat become familiar with it and go in and out freely.
Establish a motive for your cat to use the door. A good one is food. First
feed the cat near the door, inside and then near the door outside. Repeat as
often as you need to. Most cats, especially kittens, also have a strong urge
for freedom, perhaps to hunt. Cats are also social creatures – they enjoy the
company of other cats. This can be another reason for them to explore outside.
If this is something new to your cat, it may take some patience to teach your
cat how to use it. When your cat makes progress, give them a lot of praise -
they’ve earned it!
