Long time reader, first time poster. I am the proud owner slave of three cats. I'd like to call upon the collective wisdom of this forum to help me find a draught proof cat flap. I've used both Staywell and Petmate catflaps in the past and they leak air like sieves around the edges.
My current catflap is a four-way locking Ferplast inserted into a double glazed panel in my back door. The back door will be replaced soon by a door with a PVC panel and I need a new catflap to put in the door. My problem is that none of the catflaps I've used are draught proof despite the manufacturer's claims.
In the past I've had cats who have ripped the brushing off the edge of the catflap (as a protest at being locked in for the night, preventing them from leaving headless corpses on the kitchen floor).
So good folk of Mumsnet, what do you do to prevent the wind from whistling around your ankles? Have any of you put a catflap through a wall instead of a door?
I believe that a cat picture is obligatory on this forum, so here is one of fluffy cat praying.
