Has anyone's cat managed to get out of a one way catflap?

[ThatBeetroot]

If so how the hell do they do it?

My cat comes in a night eats andleaves - BUT the catflap only opens inwards. How the hell does she do it?

no windows open

What does she leave?

Hmm, DS2 posted some crayons through a one-way catflap. But it did break the catflap, iyswim.

prises it open with a claw and pulls it inwards maybe - I had one who did that

(also had another one who actually pulled the whole thing off by sheer brute force as she was so frustrated by it being locked shut...)

They bang against it so it bounces back and then they catch it and slip out. You have to applaud their ingenuity

really?

Well she is obviusly desperate to get out

MrsJohncusack - mine do that and they also form escape teams!

Mine broke a catflap pulling a seagull through it

Yes, mine do it all the time.

They bat the catflap so it jumps a bit. Quickly hook their paw/claws under it then pull it towards them and squeee under.

So then I locked it bothways and they just kept ramming it until it snapped in two and we had to buy a new catflap

Our cat always used to pull the cat flap towards her to get in or out (even when it was unlocked and could be pushed)-it looks incredibly awkward as they have to hold it up whilst ducking through IYSWIM.

this might help?

my cat used to open it from the inside with her claw sometimes
mind you...she used to open the fridge too (demon cat)

One of my cats pops in and out of our one way cat flap, using her claw to pull it open. She hasn't shown her brother her secret method though, he just sits and yowls on the window sill!

yep afraid so. one way locked catflap is only good for three of them. the other two bang it and hook their claws under, come sauntering in. give it up, ive tried different catflaps and it makes no difference
