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
familar with using the door. Your pet may become confused as to why
you have installed it.
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!
