The glass mounting adapter is compulsory for fitting a Sureflap to any glass surface -without the adapter the cat flap will simply not fit into glass
All SureFlap products use a passive learning technique. When you select the learn mode on one of our products, the door unlocks or the lid opens. The next time your pet goes through the door or feeds from their bowl, the product reads the microchip and its unique ID number is stored in the memory permanently. Your pet will now be recognised by the product whenever they next approach it. (Note: it is possible to wipe the memory to remove a pet if necessary. This procedure will remove all pets from the memory.)
Using this learn mode you don't have to force an uncooperative pet to do anything they normally wouldn't. Just leave the product in learn mode and let them do the rest. Simply repeat this process with multiple pets.
Many cats will quickly work out how to use a cat flap, but some may need a bit more encouragement. Never be tempted to physically pick up your cat and put them through the cat flap as they may find this stressful or unpleasant and then form a negative association with the cat flap.
Before you introduce your cat to the cat flap it’s important to make sure that your cat is settled into your home and has been introduced to the outside. It’s also a good idea to make sure the garden or outside space is safe and appealing for your cat by providing them with lots of places to explore, hide, or get up high.
If your cat is a little reluctant to use the cat flap but is generally confident and friendly, you can try the following steps:
Start by fixing the cat flap in an ‘open’ position using a clothes peg or something similar that can be clipped to the side of the cat flap to wedge it open. If you have a microchip cat flap you will need to programme it before your cat can use it.
Next, stand by the cat flap and encourage your cat to come to you and offer them one of their favourite treats. Place a few of their treats on the floor, directly in front of the cat flap. Do this a few times and once your cat is readily eating the treats you can then place a few on the bottom edge of the cat flap itself. Again, repeat this several times.
Once your cat seems comfortable, move outside leaving your cat indoors. Once you’re outside, place treats on the floor near to the outside of the cat flap, as well as a few more on the bottom edge of the cat flap as before.
As you sit outside, gently call your cat in an encouraging way. Make sure you sit slightly away from the cat flap so that you’re not blocking your cat’s view of the outside through the cat flap.
If your cat comes through the cat flap out in to the garden, reward them with another treat.
Once your cat is outside, reverse the process by sitting inside the house and gently calling them to come to you through the cat flap.
If your cat is shy or nervous, they may want to get used to the cat flap in their own time. In this case, simply leave the cat flap wedged open as above and let your cat explore/use it when they are ready. If you are worried about unwanted cats coming in to the house if the flap is left open, you may want to avoid using treats and keep a close eye on the cat flap area to make sure other cats aren’t trying to enter.
Once your cat is going in and out through the cat flap comfortably, you can remove the peg so that the cat flap is back in the closed position.
