I had a cat flap for my cats in my previous house, but it wasn't clear, nor was my neighbour's cat flap. Her's had a bit you could lock so once the cat was in overnight or whenever you wanted it to stay in, you could lock it and stop other cats getting in as well. i never had a problem with other cats coming in but then I did have three cats so I suppose one against three would have been scary lol

My cats used to have collars and two of them would walk on a lead too

We used the magnetic ones for George worked really well. When we moved we got one of those battery powered ones it was pants always packing up an needing us to fiddle with it!

George just gave up using it, I think he thought we were taking the p*** to wind him up! ;-)

In over 50 years of living with cats never ever used cat flaps. Jumping in through the window keeps them fit. They soon learn opening and closing hours. In the winter they yell to come in (and go out).
Never used collars al though always chipped / tattooed.

My daughter has a cat flap that works off their microchips - so only her cats can come it. Bit pricey, but she says well worth it.

I've got a 'bog standard' cat flap, as my cats aren't microchipped, and no way would they wear collars - not that I like them.

I don't think strange cats would risk bumping into dobby :-D

I won't put a collar on my cat - don't like them, so I'll have to put up with intruders :-D

My friend's cat has delivered throughout the flap everything from small birds to rabbits,Squirrels and even a Pheasant !!!!!.I dread looking after it when my friends are away,'cos I never know quite what I will be faced with LOL.
Yes get a flap that only your cat can use.There is nothing worse than the stink of a Tom Cat after he has paid a visit and done a bit of spraying :-S :-S

If your cat is a bit of a hunter she could be bringing in a selection of birds, mice etc.dead or alive! My daughter heard strange noises one night so got up to investigate and found her cat had brought in a live bat which was flying round her living room. :-0

A friend of mine got so fed up with finding other cats roaming around her house and eating her cat's food that she changed her existing cat-flap for one of those posh affair cat-flaps which opens only for her cat - he has the 'remote doofer' on his collar :-D
