We use the living room/kitchen area to sit in to relax with the animals and the door out into the utility room has a PVC door. Always thought it impossible to get cat flaps on a PVC door - however last week the rescue we got Mindy from had such a cat flap built in
It so happened that my brother had to get the guy out that put their doors/windows in last week as my nephew opened his window too far out - he forgot to close it and a sea breeze snapped it too far back and of course it wouldn't close - guess who was in trouble:shock: As this PVC door of ours would not lock we asked my brother if the man would have a look at ours sometime - so he came up the same day and whilst here I asked if it would be possible to get a cat flap in the door and he said - yes. He would have to take out the beveled panel and replace it with a flat one with the cat flap in it.:-D
So yesterday he brought the panel with cat flap and installed it and Tim and Amber have taken to it like a duck to water. It is great. I used to be up and down like a yo-yo letting them in and out, not that i minded I might add but this makes them so independent. It had a magnet attached to the flap and door so that when it closed the magnet kept it in place however I found that this put Tim off going in and out, so deftly removed the magnet - can always put it back on at some later date if need be, maybe winter time.
Mindy watches the to and fro with great interest, somehow i don't think it will be long before she attempts to go through the cat flap too;) I hope they all get on a bit better before that happens
