Fatty once managed to nick a chicken drumstick and get it through the cat flap, even though he had it in his teeth crossways. Bearing in mind he was scared of almost everything (except moths) this was a big achievement. I'll try to find a photo of him. He was a lovely cat.

He sounds great, Noshed! 

We put in our cat flap, then had to get a bigger one, then husband had to claim on the warranty "yes a dog does use it but it's only a small dog" and I have to re-insert the plastic door often :blink: but hey, the dogs keep other cats from coming in via the flap and our 3 cats are then safe from intruders!! Fortunately the main crash culprit has now realised that he can't get through it anymore and so just sticks his head through and whines.

We've just changed our cat flap to an infra red key one  as a feral tom was chasing Rosa and fighting Oliver (was woken up to a cat fight under our bed one morning). He hasn't got in since.  We had a phone call from some people down the road asking if we had a ginger cat 'cos it was in their house eating their cats food.  Funny how the expensive diet food hadn't been helping....  Pod even let them fuss him and read his collar details

He's the cat in my avatar

Not sure that our cat would appreciate having a collar   

Can be dangerous as well, can't it ?

We tried collars on ours when they were young but it got expensive replacing them and the ID disc every week!!!

Was intending to paint the door this summer but decided against it as caught the puppies chewing it  but top of the list for next year (if it's still hanging on it's hinges)

It's important you only use collars with a break point that will snap if caught so they can't be strangled.

It does mean some manage to loose them regularly. I think a chip is best then a collar backup for when people might want to get in touch without taking your cat for a scan eg when they find it under their bed

that is such a cute picture 

[tode]

Cute?   Well, yes, for a dog, I suppose.   

Not half as cute as my cat, though           

[joyfull]

sorry tode but I am definatly a doggy person rather than a cat person, and that dog is seriously cute 

[tode]

Mmm, yes, the front half looks quite cute, for a dog . . . .

Cute isn't actually a term you can apply to Bruce 
Clumsy and tank - like, maybe.
Now he can't get through the cat flap he has mastered the art of clearing the baby gates so we can't shut him in or out now

well to me he's cute but then again I do have Olliepops the neapolitan mastiff who has a face that only her mum could love

My friend has a catflap and has often had marauders invading in the night  . Usually results in a big punch up, mass destruction and a pair of traumatised moggies!

Another side effect is the almost daily gathering up of body parts of their various victims. Not nice to step out of bed into mouse giblets 

Our puss asks to go out as necessary and on winter nights is put out for half an hour at bedtime then returns to spend the night by the aga
